Melted blower switch
Hello! I am new to the forum, and after poking around for a bit like what I see!
I have a 97 XJ with three inches of lift. The blower stopped working, I can feel heat coming out of the vents but that is all. I replaced the blower panel, the other switches look fine, but the blower one was partially melted inside as well as the harness that connects to it. I replaced both, but still nothing. It is getting power as the panel lighting still works.
Anyone have this problem or a solution?

Hey Chris, Welcome to CF.
Here's a link about that problem. It's about the WJ, but the problem is the same. http://www.wjjeeps.com/blower_motor.htm

It is a common problem throughout the range of XJs. There is a lot of amperage going through the switch and eventually they fail. You will need to replace the switch. You can substitute spade connectors for the end of the harness if you want
