Report: AC Blower May Only Work on High or Melt Connector at Blower
Jeep Grand Cherokee Problem
Model Years Affected: 1993, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004
Average Mileage: 109,583 mi (48,000 mi - 160,000 mi)
Failure in the blower motor power module (automatic temperature controls) or resistor block (manual AC) may cause the heater blower motor to work only on the high setting. The connector to the power module/resistor block is known to overheat (and sometimes melt). The connector or terminals should be replaced; a replacement connector is available.

Blower controls would randomly turn on / off. Wire was melted near the resistor. Replacement took place on 02/2011 and cost $190.00

My experience with the ac blower connector melting is one of the flaws in that year of jeep. I simply cut that connector out and put a connector from Dorman® Tech Choice™ - Blower Motor Resistor Connector Part # 973-304 $9.99 can be purchased from Orielly auto parts or online at Dorman.com.. Replaced that connector and I have (NOT)had that problem again. One of many poor designs flaws from Chrysler.

Wires at the heater blower resister burnt and melted the resister. Had to replace wiring and resister

Blower motor resistor block strip failure. New resistor over $100 so I tried just resoldering the resistor block and it has worked fine since. That was about nine months ago.

I just purchased this vechicle used, and the first thing to go wrong was the bender doors. i brought back to the dealer and made them repair. Now my heater works on occassion. I discovered that the wire is loose at the resistor. I have not made the repair yet. I am going to try replacing the wire and connector first. I do not want to spend more than this truck is worth!!!
I'm going back to Chevys!!!

A/C unit cuts out on hot days after 45 minutes of operation and will not come back on until the car has cooled down. I believe it a short in the blower motor.
