Just wondering if they make a aftermarket plug that you can wire in? My blower motor quit working on my 98 and my plug for the relay looks like it got hot!!! Not to mention I’m doing my heater core right now too and the last stud on the fire wall just spins not sure how to get the nut off? It’s the only thing holding the the box in place. I’ve already got the dash out!!!

 

For the spinning stud get someone to pull on the heater box and then spin the stud it should come out of the box then you can hold it and get the nut of it , you can glue the stud back into the box . now where is the relay that got hot , is it the one that sits behind the glove box ?

 

Yeah it’s the one behind the glove box!!!

 

I'm not sure if you'll find an aftermarket plug, but certainly you can find an OEM at the junkyard. I am guessing that the blower motor took a dump and started drawing more amperage than the relay and harness could handle. Make sure to do your continuity tests before you button everything up!

 

I think it is a bosch style relay you can get plugs for those relay at any auto parts store .

 

Dorman sells one on Rockauto for the 97 ZJ with the resistor, not sure the xj is the same

 

I think this will fit
