Fan Switch
 

My fan switch knob is acting up again in my 2000 TJ.

I already took it in once and they fixed it. It doesn't work in all the
settings just high. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. Sometimes when it's
not working I leave it on the high position and then halfway through a ride
it just kicks on.

I wouldn't mind trying to fix it myself this time, especially if it's going
to happen every 2 years or so. Anyone tried this fix?

My buddy at work made fun of my Jeep.
He said...
"Hey, your Jeep is just 3 years old. Why is it already having a problem like
that? That would never happen to my Infinite."

I told him...
"Screw you! This is the only problem I've had with my TJ and if it rained
inside your Infinite as much as it rains inside here then you'd have more
than fan switch issues!"

There is a TSB out on them for that problem.

It is a loose ground on the dash, the right side ground I think. The
bolt is the wrong size and comes out. They are supposed to drill and
tap a new bolt in or something.
