I did a search before posting this, but to be honest I was so confused on all the posts that I read that I wasn't able to finding a starting point for my problem.
I sent my 00xj to the shop to have the cracked cylinder head replaced. While it was there I had my mechanic (3 hrs away from where I live) have someone take a look at my AC. We had charged the AC but it only lasted a couple weeks. Upon further investigation they couldn't find any leaks in the engine compartment and determined that I needed a new evap and heater core. So I had them replace it. Got the jeep back a few weeks later, turned the blower on and got nothing.. Turned it to 4 (max?) and it blew. Looks like I need a new blower resistor.
Driving to the cape this weekend i had the AC on, about 30 minutes into it I changed the direction from dash to dash and floor. 5 minutes later its blowing semi-cool air. Pulled off to get gas and opened the hood. The pipes were cool but the condensor was warm and wasn't sweating. Changed the direction back to dash and started the jeep. Blew cold air for the next 15 minutes or so before I shut it off because I didn't need it anymore.
Obviously I'm annoyed it wasn't fixed right the first time. I'd like to fix it on my own rather than going back to CT. Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking?
