First, I'm melting. Please help.
I've got a bad AC blower AND resistor. The blower started moaning a while back, but a few jiggles of the fan speed switch would usually fix it ...so i ignored it. Now, it's only working on high. I assume the evil (probably just off-balance or dirty) fan is the culprit for the dead resistor. The whole AC system has been due for a leak check and recharge since i bought the Jeep, but I'm only just now getting around to it. Before i go spending money i don't really have, I've got a question or two for you guys:
1. Is there a better than OEM replacement option for my '94? As in, can i possibly cram a blower and resistor from a 96+ into my dash without major modification?
2. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade?
3. Where can i find these parts for CHEAP? Local retail is about $60 for both parts. Are junkyard parts worth a shot? If so, any insight as to faults to watch out for?
That's all i've got at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
Great forum by the way.
