Heater switch Question....
So, on the older (pre 97) XJ's, there is a multi-position switch for the heat, for off, low, medium, high. Well, on the XJ, these are notorious for burning up. On mine, it burned up the switch, and the plug on the back of the switch, so even if I got a new switch, the plug is burned up.
I wanted to potentially re-wire it with a 3 position switch with relays to absorb the load, but I do not know how. I was going to use relays to trigger power so any new switches won't burn up. Using a 3 position switch for off, low, and high.
Anyone have knowledge on this system to get this done?
