THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING. THE HEATER ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, IT WILL COST AN ESTIMATED $800 TO $1200 TO FIX. THE BLENDER DOOR IS BROKEN AND IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT NOTHING I HAVE DONE COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. *TR

MY HVAC BLEND DOORS HAVE BROKEN WHICH WILL REQUIRE THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE THE ENTIRE DASH APART TO FIX A $200 PART. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS IS $1500 DUE TO EXTENSIVE LABOR.

MY AC FAN HAD BEEN CUTTING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT MAY BE A BAD CLIMATE CONTROL CONTROL PANEL.

TODAY I REMOVED THE BLOWER FAN, THINKING IT WAS BAD, BUT IT TURNS OUT THE BLOWER IS FINE, THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE RELAY AND WIRING HARNESS HAD MELTED IN THE DASHBOARD ABOVE WHERE THE PASSENGERS FEET WOULD REST. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND WILL BE GLAD TO SEND THEM UPON REQUEST, BUT I THINK JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THIS DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE THREAT AND LACK OF SAFETY (SINCE THE FUSE DID NOT BLOW). I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE PART THROUGH AN AUTOMOTIVE PARTS COMPANY, BUT THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED STRAIGHT FROM CHRYSLER CORP. PLEASE CALL ME OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ONCE AGAIN, I WILL ALSO SEND PICTURES UPON REQUEST. THANKS! *TR
