QuestionHow do I find and replace the blower resister on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler. This will be the 5th time I need it replaced. I'm sick of getting overcharged by the dealer so I would like to replace it myself. Thanks.
Answerbeing that's it the 5th time the 2-4 times should have been under warranty by the dealer if u are under the 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. 2nd if u have to keep replacing the same thing that means the blower motor is causing this issue and would need to be replaced.
