Resisitor Block- Fan Speed 1-2 Gone!!

[LibertyTC]

I started Jeep and suddenly realized hey.. how come it's so quiet in here? :icon_lol:
It was on 1 when I started it, but now only have 3-4 (Hi) working.
As if I have not had to buy enough parts in the last 10 days, here we go again..
I guess I will now search out the Sebring Resistor block part number and see if it is a direct fit.
Here is a good How To video I found showing replacement steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeVJP9hy5fA
Has everyone bought the Mopar one or gone after market?
Have not had a chance yet to price them.

I bought a dealer 1,was same price as aftermarket years ago.Mine didn't fail but increased the fan speeds by at least 200% on each speed after istalling the sebring 1.

I did not know the Sebing resistor changes the speeds. Is it still quiet on 1?
Got a part # for Sebing?

Can't say since mine was so worn you could barely feel any air coming out of the vents on 1 or even 2.My fan speed on 1 is now what fan speed 3 was with the worn OE resistor.Fan speed 4 will blow dry your hair in a few mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This fit mine: More Information for DORMAN 973023

Not super noisy but seems to move more air. 04 Sebring convertible I believe.

I just got a KJ one from autozone. It's been fine for the 2 or more years it's been in there. Paid $28 or something.

Used a cheap Chinese sebring one. Still going strong over 30k miles later.

1/4 Inch ratchet, tools make it fairly easy to remove the two screws.
I have to say be careful do not drop the screws both coming out or going back in.
If you got big hands like me, you may want to use electrical tape on R interior side to protect from plastic cuts.
I know that many of you have had problems getting the red locking connector pulled back, especially when it is cold. A hair drier on will make it easier to pull it back.
As seen it the video in post 1 a 90 degree pick will make it easy.
Even though I had a pick and was able to release the clip, I pushed it back in, and then found out that you can slide back the resistor block without worrying about the clip.
Once it was out, you can then use a screwdriver to push the clip back and remove the connector!

Mine crapped out when the KJ was 10 years old just before winter so I replaced it with an OEM one. It only worked on "4". That was a couple of months ago and I forget how much it was.

The day before on the cold mountain highway run, it had been set at position 2 for 8 hours+ traveling, and worked fine.
Most of it's 12 year life it was used on 1 or 2, never really needed it on high, as the Jeep blower is pretty strong, and don't like the noise!
IDK I hear many loose everything, except HI position 4.
My Jeep must have liked me, cause it left position 3 & 4 available...ha ha :icon_lol:

Even here where our prices are ridiculous, I manged to wiggle down the price from $50 to store cost at $35 plus tax for the Sebring/Borg Warner.
(I told him I could get one cheaper at Napa) & I deserve a break as an account holder, cause I just spent $500+ here last week!!
In other words, you made lots of profit from me..."Now cut me some slack Jack" !:gr_grin: arty52:

Edit & oh..Since this independent parts store looses tons of business to Napa & he started stumbling when I even mentioned the word.......

I'm going to wear the cap Napa gave me next time I go back in there, and point to the hat & say "Don't make me call them"..ha ha..:happy175:

Mine blew probably 2 years ago so I grabbed a cheapo one at the local part store as I get a good deal there. If I decide to keep my KJ I might upgrade to a Sebring one as it appears to be more powerful.
