So my a/c switch decided to go out today and I was wondering if there was a way of bypassing the in dash switch. It will no longer stay on however I do know that everything is still in working condition just the switch is no good. 98 grand Cherokee manual controls

Wow, no replies. I think i know why. i was messing with the wire harness that seems to control the a/c switch and i accidently short circuited the harness now i cannot get the blower to come on. i have checked all common fuses for the blower but they are all fine, any ideas as to which fuse i might have blown. thanks

The one in your head! Why were you messing with it live? Check ALL the fuses.

How else would I know if the the switch was bypassed if not live. And yes I have checked fused in the kickpanel and under hood. Any other fuses that I'm not aware of.

i have narrowed the problem down to the purple wire on the temperature control connector at a/ccontrol panel. anyone know where this might be getting its power from. cause everything else in the jeep works fine. if i piggy back power to this wire the blower motor comes on. any ideas

forgot to mention the fact that when piggy backed blower only blows out of windshield and not the dash vents no matter what setting it is on. please help very hot down here is south texas.

Stop "working" on your vehicle, you're only breaking more stuff and destroying it. Bypassing a switch in NOT the way to FIX the problem. REPLACE the switch and repair it correctly. There is no need for hack repairs.
