That`s what I thought....We in Northern Ontario have been having
extreme cold temperature....-30 to -40 degrees Celcius, and I`ve been
doing lots of highway driving lately, so I figure I must have a bit of
moisture or something going on now. The problem with the remote
starter seems fine now...still only heat on the 3rd setting on the
dial, and seems that maybe my outside vent is shut or something since
my windows are icing up. Probably will take it to my father`s heated
garage for an afternoon, and let it warm up, and dry out to see if
that helps. Thanks for everything.

By the way, I am thankful that I don`t have my old 92 YJ....it used to
actually snow inside, I guess with moisture in the vents or
something....Ahhh, Life as a Jeep owner huh??

I have a 01TJ
I'm having a problem with the switch (I believe)
On the highest speed setting, after turning the motor off and
then restarting, the fan doesn't come on without
wiggling the switch. Same problem as yours maybe?

Next question for the experienced.
How easy is it to replace that dang switch?
If it's the switch of coarse.

Gents, there is a TSB out on the heater switch in the TJ's.

They did a crappy job of installing the dash and the ground wires come
loose. This messes up the heater control.

The fix is to drill and tap the dash for a bigger/better bolt on the
ground strap.
