Re: Ignition switch question.
From what I have seen all the AMC Jeeps have the fan as an accessory.
Jerry says the Chrysler Jeep doesn't.
AMC designed some of the CJ7, the YJ and the XJ. I know my 88 XJ is
like that. I don't know about the after 91 ones when Chrysler started
changing things.
You 'can' still turn the sucker off by putting the vent control to off.

Re: Ignition switch question.
I don't think I've actaully been inside a YJ. Does the heater control
(not the fan switch, but the heater/vent/etc selector) not have an "off"
position, like it does in the Cherokee?
