Jeep Repair: 2006 Jeep Liberty cab heater, blower motor resistor, negative battery cable


Question
Hello:
    I have an 06 Jeep liberty. Recently the cab heater stopped working on the first three settings and only works on the high setting. I went to the dearlership where I purchased the vehicle and explained my problem. They sold me a part # IRC TF308 929433R and instructed me to install under dash at passenger side. Before I start taking things apart I thought I would try to find some sort of a schematic with clear instructions on exactly where this part is located. Can you help me or send me a link that allow me to follow instructions?

Answer
REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

WARNING: The blower motor resistor may get very hot during normal operation. If the blower motor was turned on prior to servicing the blower motor resistor, wait five minutes to allow the blower motor resistors to cool before performing diagnosis or service. Failure to take this precaution can result in possible personal injury.





NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.

Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
Open the glove box door to gain access to the blower motor resistor (1).
Pull out the lock on the blower motor resistor wire harness connector (3) to unlock the connector latch.
Depress the latch on the blower motor resistor wire harness connector and disconnect the wire harness from the resistor.
Remove the two screws (2) that secure the blower motor resistor to the HVAC housing (4) and remove the resistor.
