2002 Jeep Wrangler Blower Motor Resistor Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to Maintain a Blower Motor Resistor on 2002 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: First, turn off the air bag system on air bag-equipped vehicles by removing and isolating the battery negative cable and then wait two minutes for the air bag system capacitor to discharge. Open the panel beneath the glove box and pull it out carefully first. Following this, pull the lock to remove it, hit the latch and separate the connector from the blower motor resistor wire harness. Pull out the two screws that hold your resistor to the heater-A/C housing and remove the resistor. To install, set the resistor into the heater-A/C casing, screw in the retainer screws until the force reaches 2.2 Nm (20 in lbs.) and then turn it until tight by using a 22 Nm (200 in lbs.) torque wrench. All that's left is to link the wire harness, put in the kick panel and secure the negative cable to the battery.
