Need help - 98 TJ Fan Blower Stopped Working and ABS warning light is on
I left the TJ out of the garage last night and it got down into the
single digits. DW started it for me this morning and said the blower
fan made an odd sound when it came on. When I got inside the fan
blower would not work at any speed and the ABS warning light is on. It
was a cold drive so I need to fix this soon (not to mention it is going
below zero for the remainder of the week). I checked fuses 5, 8, 9 and
they are all fine. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Someone sent me this notice a while back, it might be your problem.
Recall 99V117000: Instrument Panel Ground Screws Loose
The left side and right side instrument panel wiring ground attachment
screws could loosen over time. If the left side screw loosens, the
instrument panel gauges may not function when the headlamps are turned
on. If the right side screw loosens, the defroster blower motor may
not function.
Dealers will remove the ground screws, drill a new pilot hole adjacent
to the original hole, and the screws will be reinstalled in the new
holes.
Owner notification began May 31, 1999. Owners who take their vehicles
to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not
receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact
Chrysler at 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT
(1-888-327-4236).
