98 XJ Heater Fan Control Operates on "4" (High) Only
The heater fan control **** on the dash now only operates on "4"
(highest speed). I know it's simple enough to pull the dash bezel off
and replace the control, but before I order a new part, my question is
this: Before I go to the dealer or boneyard to find a new switch,
could anything else be causing the problem?
Thanks,

Re: 98 XJ Heater Fan Control Operates on "4" (High) Only
If it only works on high then the resistor pack is probably toast. I am
betting the dash switch is fine. If the resistor pack is toast then you
should also change the blower motor out too. It probably caused the resistor
pack failure. Just changing out the resistor pack will probably be cheaper
but it will fry again.

Re: 98 XJ Heater Fan Control Operates on "4" (High) Only
What Kevin said. Take a look at the connections on the resistor pack if they
are cruded up give them a good clean and see if the fans speeds come back,
sometimes its just dirty. If not the resistor pack is gone.

It is a resistor as Kevin has already said. Below the whiskey
