I enjoyed this video and am particularly glad that you showed your complete struggle, wiggling and twisting the blower motor past the wire harness and the evap canister. This cost me $300 to get this done by a mechanic. I wish I had done it myself. You made the job look relatively easy. I like how you dived right in and you didn't get discouraged when things got tough. Great job Tod!
Thanks for the vid. I started by reading the service manual, which says to discharge the a/c system. No thanks. Turned to UA-cam and found other vids of people twisting up their a/c lines. No thanks. I found this vid, tried it out, and can confirm it works.
Thank you for you video, they sure didn’t make things easy to get to on those Jeep XJ models. 🙂 Love the throwback Sammy Hagar with Montrose singing Bad motor scooter 🙂
@@toddg4228 when going back to installing anything special I need to do for the evap lines an etc.. can I plug anp play once I clean area an put it in..
Just take care moving things around, especially the ac stuff. One of the screws holding the blower in place is kind of a pain. I used a vacuum at one point to clean everything out of the hole before putting the new blower in. Then I wiped with mild soapy water.
@@toddg4228 by the way it went well! Took 30mins if that appreciate that video.. who ever had it before had redone all this so most of it was hand tight..
I appreciate the video. I ended up losing the fuse box and shoving it toward the battery and a bit toward the block. It came out with a fight, but really not too bad. I was nervous messing with those evap lines...heh. last thing I wanna do is track down a small leak code. On your installation, did you put any RTV at the seal? I had mine leak there into the pass floor when I bought it 12 years ago, I gooped some in there back then, but this time I ran it in the channel before fitting it. Well, thanks again Todd! -Sean
I did not use any sealant on the install. I did vacuum out all dust and debris and then cleaned with purple power and hand wipes while the old blower motor was out.
@@toddg4228 Understand. I did vac it out, also vac'd from the resister side. I changed the resistor as well, just in case it sent irregular or high voltage to the blower and caused it to blow. Your vid was very helpful. Thanks again.
@@toddg4228 Hey Todd, I have a 2000 sport. southern version that Chicago is eating slowly.. but still ahead of the units I see on the road here. They have no rockers left. I replaced the relay... didn't even test it. I guess I threw the parts cannon at it. but it works and only cost $130... plus 3 beers and 1 cigar.
@@toddg4228 just did it myself wasn’t bad at all maybe an hour max but it had dad hold the a/c up while I put the fan in. Def recommend everyone do it this way no need to take a/c out

This was a fun one. I had read it could be done, so I figured, what the heck.

That is fantastic! I appreciate the feedback.
Loved that Montrose reference. Thanks for the video.
I was rooting for you the whole time! What a wrestling match! 😅
It was quite a battle! Thank you!

@@seansavage4766 I also changed the resistor and tested the relay for proper operation. Blows cold and consistent. What year is your XJ?

So no instal video huh
Not on this one, but I will be showing an install video soon! Basically, installation is the reverse of removal
