Replace the blower motor and check the resistor. I just did this with my 97. The blower will create drag and take out the resistor. Not a cheap fix unless your Jeep is pre 97.

Thanks, Tural. I didn't think of the wiring or the fuse. The '97 - '01 blower motor is 3 to 5 times the cost to replace as the '96 and down is. Kind of disgusting.

Ths may sound funny but it'll help figure out your problem. beat on the black heaterbox on the underside of the passenger dash When I say beat i don't mean BF hammer or nothin just hit it with your fist if it comes back on your motor is going if not there are other problems
