Ru you replacing the the heater blower motor or the resistor?

The heater blower. i used to be able to tap it with a hammer and it would start working but my quick fix does not work any more so I found a used one and am going to attempt to swap it out. I am guessing it is the motor that is bad.

3. Unplug the blower motor wiring connector.
4. Remove the three blower motor and wheel assembly mounting screws.
5. Remove the blower motor and wheel from the heater-A/C housing.

Wow that stinks then since the book is for YJ and TJ.

Its description and illustration fits more like the CJ and YJ. But definitely not a TJ HVAC setup and layout. sorry.

I agree with you.I went and looked at my tj and yours is correct..Time to mail Haynes and have them some corrections.

 

[mcgbail]

thank you steelheadz for the correction

Your welcome. I make mistakes too so be careful when you read my post.

Looks like you have the info you need so this is just an FYI... I thought my TJ had the blower motor inside and I finally had a look at it. They must have made a change sometime. My 05 has the motor hanging down above the passenger side. It does not go throught the firewall. Looks like you just turn the assy to remove it (there are plastic bayonet type lugs on it). So there are two TJ blower motor styles (or maybe even more). Best of luck - John
