Blower Motor Issues?
I recently purchased a 2001 cherokee sport, and I had checked the heater at the dealer, and all the settings worked, but when I got it home, now only "4" works, and i get no air flowing from 1-3. while I appreciate that at least one setting works, I'd like to be able to control it some, instead of full or nothing, lol. I haven't started poking around just yet, for I fear it may be something I will have to tear the dashboard apart for. Any ideas to help me troubleshoot/steer me in a direction? Any help would be awesome, Thanks!

relay... I should have figured they have a relay... I will try replacing that tomorrow if they have one in stock. Thanks for the tip! :-)

It's not a relay. It's the blower motor resistor.
I'm pretty sure on an '01 the resistor is behind the glove box.

Yea, the resistor seems to be the general concensus on the part review, lol. Thanks so much! I am gonna go give this a shot. :-)

I know, right? That's ok though, I talked him down $500 for other things that were "broke" that were easy fixes as well. $4500 for an '01 Cherokee sport 2 dr manual with 161k miles. In the end, I think I got the better end of the deal. ;-)

I also just purchased a 2000 Cherokee Classic 4 door Auto 2WD. The Blower worked when i bought it and now less than a month later it has no speeds, it started intermittently in and out and now , nothing. Is this still the resistor or something else?
