What to do if your Jeep blower fails?
If you look up in the passengers foot well, you can see the resistor and besides it the blower motor. The motor is fixed with 3 screws. Just wiggle all visible wires and see what happens. If the problem is inside the AC control panel, then there is most probably not much to do then replacing the panel.
What to do if your Jeep Cherokee does not have power?
If the blower motor does not have power, check the fuses, and if they are good, check to make sure there is power to the blower motor resister. If there is power to the resister, the resister is bad; if not, the control switch is bad.
Where is the blower connector on a jeep?
The blower motor sits right next to the resistor or controller (resistor is for manual AC, controller is for automatic AC system), so the connector can be found on the blower motor itself. Since the state of the blower changes after switching ignition off/on, the problem can be inside the AC control panel.
Why does my Dodge Dakota blower keep going bad?
If you leave the blower motor switched continually on you may not notice this. If so I suspect that there is an earth fault on one of the wires connected to either pin 4 or 5 of the resistor. Here is a the blower circuit for a 2002 Dodge Dakota. Hopefully it is the same for your particular year model.

What are the signs of a bad heater motor?
Common signs include the car’s heater not working or getting stuck on a certain speed, or something getting jammed in the blower motor. 1. Blower motor stuck on one speed 2. Blower motor does not work on certain settings 3. No air from the vehicle’s vents Average rating from 130,908 customers who received a Vehicle Engine Cooling Inspection.
How to know if your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a DTC?
1.) Place the key into the ignition slot. 2.) Turn your key from OFF to ON four to five times in succession (do NOT start your vehicle). 3.) On the fourth or fifth time you turn your ignition ON, leave it in the ON position. 4.) Count the number of times your ‘Check Engine’ light flashes. This is your first number.
What causes a blower motor to stop working?
In a situation where the motor doesn’t work on any speed, the most likely causes are: a blown power supply fuse, a bad motor ground connection, bad motor speed control module or a failed motor. On all systems, a failed blower motor is least likely. Blower motors generally don’t fail out of the clear blue.
Is the mode door actuator on a jeep WJ?
The blower motor is completely electrical and the mode door actuator is vacuum controlled. By the way, the link you posted on the blower motor replacement is not for the WJ. The WJ does not have any cover over the blower motor, you can see it when looking up in the footwell area.

What are the symptoms of a bad blower motor resistor?
Another common symptom of a faulty blower motor resistor is a a blower motor that does not function on certain settings. If the blower motor resistors’ internal components fail it may cause the blower motor to malfunction, or not function at all on one or more of the settings.

Why are the vents on my Jeep not working?
This is typical of a vacuum leak or failure of the vacuum check valve. When you ascend the hill, you loose vacuum from the engine and the A/C vacuum controls loose suction so the vents can’t remain open. Most systems then default to defrost vents.
Why is the air blower on my Jeep not working?
I will start the Jeep and the air blows fine, then without rhyme or reason it completely stops (there is no specific duration between work/failure). Depending on the length of the trip, it may come back on again. I replaced the blower motor resistor and I thought that fixed the problem, but unfortunately it did not.
