I know this has been beat to death but I'm looking for the blower motor resistor for my 86 and heard a few horror stories on doing those. Mine only blows on high speed and figured the resistor is fried. Google image search turned up everything but what I was looking for.

Does anyone know where it is or a write up on it and what kind of he!! it is to replace?

Gracias.

It's located under the dash behind the glove box.

Having a simular problem with my blower motor.
Please tell me you figured it out and resolved the problem. It's getting cold out...

Look under glove box, maybe you'll see it w/o removing box.
Remove lower cover.
In 97 you just need to remove cover under box, very easy to replace resistor.

Thats cool I was just wondering why only my high setting worked...resister in the same spot for a 99? I haven't checked anything else yet..and surely noted im a novice in. most everything jeep/engine but I love my jeep so much this is where I learn )....now, off to find a little to moderate heat thread too **

If you get only high speed its the resistor . If you get nothing switch on dash would be suspect.

on my 98, it was behind the glove box up high, looks like a silver metal hood with holes drilled in in, maybe an inch and a half by two inches. held on by two phillips screws as I recall, and a simple electrical connector. When it goes bad the blower will work, but only on high speed. Cost about $27 at the local parts store. Since mobility was somewhat limited for me (i.e., I'm too fat), I unscrewed the half dozen screws on the glove box's piano hinge and removed it - simple and made a world of difference. Twenty minute job via this process. Reading posts here was extremely useful for me.
