Thanks for the clear demonstration and I hope you were able to figure out the glitches. I just changed out my HVAC controller as well and your video was really helpful. Nice to see a fellow Pennsylvanian riding a TJ-but I’m doing it in northern Japan! Thanks again
Just came across your channel NEW SUBSCRIBER Enjoyed your switch replacement. Just replaced mine too, mine was missing a bolt too. Ha but one of my plugs had melted, keep the videos coming
Welcome to the GearTube TV Family! Admittedly some videos are lame, but it's been a fun hobby over the years! I try my best to upload at least once a month but life happens. Glad you found the melted plug but not glad it melted on you!
I'm about to recharge my ac with AC Pro. But one thing I am trying to find out is why the hvac knob on the right of this panel is running hot, the other 2 are cool, no issues. Of note, I have replaced the old stock plastic with billet steel knobs. I looked at it and so did a local shop I trust in the area. And we both saw no melting of the switch or anything else. It's been a head scratcher for months. What worries me after I recharge the system with freon, I have a long drive ahead of me that requires air conditioning in this summer heat, and this knob is going to be getting hot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
@@scratchytj7529 Replaced the blower motor and the right knob is only slightly warm now since it's billet steel. A definite improvement. Now I have to get the ac fixed since learning the service station overcharged it a few years ago.
Well... there may be or may not even be a screw in that place. If someone removed the ashtray in lieu of some sort of accessory panel you'd have to remove whatever was put in the place of the ashtray to see if there's a screw behind it. Hope that answers your question :)
@@badseed7348 I bought a whole rewired used unit from ebay and it worked. I think the plastic wire connectors get brittle and lose electrical connectivity. Everything I had worked seperately but as a unit connected together didn't. So it was definitely the wiring.

Hello, have you changed or checked the fuse and relay?

I think the blower motor is going bad. What I've read is as these motors go bad they draw more power causing the wires to melt.

What if I don’t have an ashtray?

ever figure out what it was? I replacer blower motor, resister, and control unit. still no fan speeds
Same question. Replaced mine and floor and vents alone do not work. Everything else works just as your video show
