Replacing the blower motor switch

June 5, 2008 10:19 by W4INF

Replacing the blower motor switch in my 1993 Jeep Cherokee went from stupid easy to a pain.  I got the new switch from my local Dodge dealer because the HIGH speed went kaput. It did fine during the winter, but.... Today it is 98deg(F) out and just a tad warm so I wanted to at least have HIGH speed on the A/C!!  What I discovered is, the blasted switch AND plug are toast!

Replacement was pretty straight forward, though it involved more work.  Follow the pictures for the process.  The dash bezel is removed, easy... but take your time, no need to break it.  Then pull the 4 screws holding the HVAC control panel in.  Slip it out.  There are two short 1/4" self tapping screws holding the switch on, remove them.  If your lucky, your half way through... just unplug the old switch, plug the new on , put it all back and your done!

If you have luck like mine and your switch and plug are toasted, clip the wires, strip them back, add on some new connectors and put them back according the wiring diagram you drew out PRIOR to clipping the wires!  HIGH speed is the fer-shizzle, will take your hat off!  Well, not really but it is one of the fastest blower speeds I've seen!  And I was so excite, I had to take her for a spin to see just how much of a difference having HIGH was, it was significant, and cant figure why it took me a year to get around to it.
