Thanks for this! Followed the instructions and replaced the resistor last night and all four fan speeds work now. I will say, I don't know how you do this without a lot of cursing.
Thanks for this. I’ve owned my Jeep for over 8 years and finally gotten around to fixing this. Took me all of 25 minutes. 🙄
Same lol
Dude, you just saved me $100 in labor at a mechanic. $26, 30 minutes, and I've got all 4 fan speeds back. Wasn't the least irritating thing I've ever done, but WELL worth it. Thank you!
Nice, more money for Jeep parts
Thank you for the video. It was easier for me to undo both screws and pull the whole resistor out(with harness attached). I took the flathead screw driver, disengaged the red tab and pushed the entire red clip out from the bottom. It was easier for the wiring harness to come out. Thanks again for the help, brother. I was just about to purchase a two hundred dollar climate control panel. Cheers...
Thanks, great video. Two years after you posted it and people are still using it. I just did this on my 2006 Wrangler. My first 2 fan speeds didn’t work but 3 & 4 did, putting in the new resistor did the trick. The only step I had issues with was pressing the black tab on the resistor plug. I ended up pulling out the resistor with the plug still attached, I was then able to see how the locking tab worked. Thanks again for the video.
Ran into this problem too! Gonna go try again with this tip!
Big thanks! Had the same issue (heater only working on high) and with some research, found my way here. Followed your lead and was able to fix it on my own. Works perfectly! Thanks for the clear step-by-step guide!
One of the best DIY'ers video. Very clear and detailed with great lighting. I was able to disconnected the green plug from the bracket without pulling it apart and just moved it to the side. Got the new resistor in and all 4 fan speeds are working. Thank you.
Agreed. Doesn't assume previous experience with this type of repair like many others ("just take these 4 things out and you're all set"---great, how do I get those 4 things out?). Very instructive and very succinct.
I watched the video | ordered the part via Amazon $35.52 for my 2005 TJ. Didn’t have to remove green plug, easy install, easy fix. Thank you for sharing!
Just got done replacing a heater core in our 2000 TJ and it's important to replace the resistor and blower fan at the same time. The resistors tend to rust and short out easily.
I was humming and hawing about doing the two...but you helped me change my mind!
Your video was so easy to follow! My part was $21 and I was so pleased I fixed it on my own, and it even worked! Thank you so much for making the video simple and even a girl could fix her Jeep!

This exact problem just happened to me this morning. Thank god I found this video. I couldn’t figure out if it was the other resistor down lower, or the HVAC switch and control on the dash.
I had the exact same issue on my ‘05 TJ. Replaced the switch as demonstrated in the video and it solved the problem. Thanks for the video.
Bro...it totally worked. Took about 15-20 min. You're the man!
I've had to replace mine, 2 or 3 times, but I've always had it done, because I could never quite figure out where the damn thing was located, much less, replace it...This video should really help...many thanks!
Thanks for the vid! EXACTLY what I need. My TJ has the same symptoms. I was going to start by replacing the switch, but that is probably NOT the culprit., so I'm gonna start with replacing the resistor as you have done. I take it that your rig is green, hence the "BIG BOOGER" passenger grab handle? LOVE IT! A Jeep wave from Ohio, my JeepBro.
Yea it's the electric lime green from 2004
Worked like a champ. 05 Rubicon. Nice to be able to use my defroster not on full blast in the morning.
This part worked for my 2004 TJ
Thank you! I was about to replace my entire hvac control panel but I took that off before and it looked perfect. After some more research I found your video! Figure I'll replace the $21 part before the $100 one!
you can also replace the switch (fan speed switch on back of hvac switch panel each dial has its own switch on the back side video for this here on youtube also) instead of buying the 100.00 hvac complete set up. Part number is SW2252 Duralast part for 1997 to 2006 its under $20.00 @ advanced auto, It's called a fan switch interruptor...
Love my 00 TJ , last of the simplistic models
thanks this helped me to fix the blower issue I was having.
Perfect, same problem and now I know how to fix it! Great vid.
Thanks for the video. I'm in the process of buying a TJ with the same issue.
Got my ac speeds working now thank you GREAT VIDEO 👌
Dittos on the thank you. Saved me some bucks!
Thanks man, this worked and saved me a lot of hassle.
Thank you, I am going to fix mine tomorrow.
Thank you for the help. Really good video and exactly what I needed!
great video glad i seen it before i ordered the 150$ switch panel... then again ive had this issue for about 4years and never even looked into it i dont mind using high or nothing, seems like a really common problem i wonder what causes it.. they added alot of really common problems to the 04/05/06s.. most of them not these cheap or easy to fix... i really like my LJ and the 6 speed trans both of which only come in those years but obviously bring along some other issues.. replace that OPDA if you havent already
It’s common, it corrodes from moisture. I haven’t replaced my opda, my tj only has 36,000 miles
@@MoneyisanIllusion id replace it with the crown one pretty soon or atleast inspect it and the cam gear regularly, ask the dealership maybe ive heard of them replacing it under recall but i didnt even try, it can wreck your cam it doesnt oil itself properly and becomes almost seized
I have a 2000 model. Replacing just the resistor only allowed the problem to return. If you do the resistor, replace the blower motor too and you should be good.
Thank you very much. Nice not to have to chase wiring an hour.
excellent video, thank you, just fixed my 2006 TJ
If you change you resistor and blower motor and still nothing change your ac control cluster! That was my main problem ! Still needed to change these though
Good bless TH-cam)) and people too.. I DIY ... 👍✌
My 3rd speed doesn’t work any longer. For a while it’s only been high and the first 2 speeds are the same. More recently it is not wanting to work at all. Occasionally I’ll hit a bump and it will turn on. And also the blower motor switch seems to want to do the same on all options.
Thanks for sharing
I don't know how you did it..... But to get the red tab out was a PITA and wiggle the connector off while still installed. Like another commenter said.... I just got all the wires out of the way including what looks to be a black square block out, that is next to that green plug ...you have to get something in back to squeeze that connection plug (once you feel the plug, you will understand how to get it out........... THEN, use the 5/16 socket to get the bolts out.... then pull it all out and figure out how the get the wiring harness unhooked from the resistor.... Look at your new resistor and I think it will give you an idea how to press the black tab under the red tab to then start wiggling it apart.... AGAIN I don't know howMoney is an illusion got it apart while still installed. But THANK YOU for the video, as without it no way I was going to be able to do this.
Yea that tab is on there tight
Nice explanation
You are my hero, great job on the video.
Mine is different. It works on all settings EXCEPT low. Do you think its the same issue?
Probably
Just my high speed fan speed does not work.Would this fix the issue?
It’s probably the resistor if not it could be the switch. I would start with the resistor since it’s way cheaper.
Thank you. It fixed mine also.
one question my fan only works on low 1 and 3 speed it wont work on high you think is the same problem
So is mine Juan...I'll try this and let ya know
Appears it's the switch, not the resistor as the high setting doesn't use the resistor
Mine was slow on 1 and 3 and 4 was high now it turns on for a second and turns right back off. I already replaced the blower. Any ideas
That was a very thorough video nicely done
My a/c flow seems to only blow through the defroster vents and not the front vents. Do you think it’s the resistor? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

Where did you get the grab bar that allowed you to mount the ram ball?

What if it was like this but now it just stopped working overall would it bee the resistor and the blower or just resistor
Both
I have had my wrangler for 5 yrs, just recently 2nd speed went out, watched this video and realized it is SUPPOSED to have a 1st speed 🤦🏼♀️🙄
hahahaha right!?!
Good video but very bad lighting.thanks
Mine has the same issue but also doesn't change any of the vents when you switch to the window,floor or front vents. Its just stays on either window or all at once. Weird
Under your battery is a vacuum canister, passenger fender. That is probably clogged.
@@MoneyisanIllusion Thanks for the info. Will give it a look asap.
Vacuum leak on left side of the motor or right side of the motor left side of the motors in the firewall where the air conditioning lines go in through the firewall there’s a vacuum line right there and sometimes it breaks off or comes off but as vacuum operated for the vents so it’s either clogs vacuum or it’s a broken vacuum line or damage vacuum line
Mine is working on 1,2 & 3...high doesn't work.
damn. my Tj doesnt have floor light
What year is yours
2004
What do I do if 1 2 and 4 works, but not 3?
It’s probably dirty on a contact point. I have never taken the switch apart but they are not cheap. I would try to open it up and maybe use rubbing alcohol on a q tip and clean everything you can. 4 working would mean it’s a resistor because all the resistor is doing is giving 75% load (3) 50% load (2) etc. It might need a new switch. Pull it out and clean everything you can get to before shelling out money for a replacement one.
Money is an Illusion thank you very much. Take the switch panel out?
Is this on all TJs I own a 2005 would it have the same layout?
Yes this is for 03-06
👍
Don’t let that clip kick ur sss like that dude…
LMAO It’s actually easier on a Dodge Dakota same model year. WTF.

Classons a réparer
Hey man I just want to say thank you honestly I don’t know what I would of done without this vid bud! What can I say that was a bitch lol But I got it done easy $15 fix thank you again
