Thanks 2xbluexj, that's great info, I appreciate it!:cheers:

I assume you mean under the dash inside the Jeep, not under the hood?

Oops, sorry. Didn't know it varied by year. My XJ is a 2001.

I did do a search but I didn't find any info on the actual location of the resistor. I replaced the one in my Ford Ranger and it was under the hood. If I remember correctly, in an XJ it is up under the dash somewhere.:dunno:

Is the info not correct in the link? I don't believe my blower motor is bad, but I guess you never know. I hate to think I need to replace a component that is seemingly working. When you buy the "resistor" from the dealer (or auto parts store) is it just the resistor, or is it the whole devise...

I can't thank you guys enough. This link (http://www.geocities.com/chmwatson/FAQs/Jeep/HVAC-fuselink_fix.html) is great! I saved and printed it. I am going to give it a shot this weekend. Thanks again.

The resistor went and they cost $43!? I've bought resistors before and they are only a couple of bucks. Anyway, where is the resistor? I am assuming it's near the switch. I'm hoping for an easy replacement. On a side note, the same exact thing happened to my Dodge Dakota. I sold it before I...

I think bikertrash2001 might be right. I bought a special tool for compressing the piston back into the caliper. A C-clamp doesn't line up right and doesn't really push the piston in straight. The tool I got was less than $10 and works perfectly.

The reason I know is because I replaced my rad. also. I got stuck in the same place you did. I have the little release tools now so I'll prolly never need them again.:rolleyes:

You need special little tools to release the one line and the other is a regular fitting. A line wrench will work on the fitting. You can use a regular wrench, just be carfull you don't slip off and strip the head. Here are the special tools I was talking about. They slip up inside to release...

I checked the low side. the gauge won't fit on the high side. They make the fittings different to prevent accidently hooking up to the wrong side. It was reading so high because the compressor wasn't pumping. When it's cold and the compressor is actually on, it reads 34psi. I need to know why...

I checked right when my wife got the truck home from work. I figured I'd need to check it whil it wasn't working properly. I unplugged the sensor and the fan came on, just like you said it would. I also figured I'd try blocking the heater hoses. I clamped both, thinking that maybe the hose valve...

It takes longer for paint to dry when it is humid. Espesially if it is sprayed on liberally.

Get your tires balanced. It happened to me twice. You wouldn't think the weights would fly off, but they do. I have a 3" lift and only one size taller tires (30"). The Jeep doesn't go off road either. They fly off under normal driving conditions. Try getting a rebalance. It is a cheap start to...

Thanks darjevon.
