Hi all,

I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler, 2.5, standard transmission, no air
conditioning.

For about two years now, the highest setting on my heater (fan) blower
does not work. The other three settings work fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks
KL

 

The fans in the YJ have a resistor circuit hidden in the fan ducting
and I would suspect that you have a problem with the wiring or the
resistor coils. To test this theory connect the fan lead to a 12V feed
right from the battery and see if you get full speed from the fan if
so you need to inspect the resistor coil. To get at it remove the
housing just below the passenger side speaker and take a look up
inside the housing or just wire your fan to a 12v source and live with
high speed all the time.
