Blower Motor

I have a 96 XJ that the blower motor resistor went out in about a month ago. I took the the one from my 87 MJ and installed it and the fan worked fine. I went last week to get a new resistor and put it in the XJ and it worked fine for 3 days and then it quit. I went today and exchanged it and plugged the new one in and it started smoking. The fan motor has been squeaking the last couple of weeks since the first resistor went out. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks

I would suspect that your blower motor is going out and needs replacing.
Bad blower motor is what usually causes the resistor to blow.
