    The "blower control module" is the electronic component responsible for adjusting the fan speed for the hvac on vehicles equipped with the automatic climate control. It is a well known problem that these units fail. It has failed on my vehicle. My own independent mechanic has replaced quite a few of them. The wiring harness and plug that supplies power is not heavy duty enough and it overheats and melts and could…

Entire last winter i was forced to drive 2 hours per day constantly wiping fog off my windshield. I was told by a 'mechanic' it was a clogged…

    This is concerning a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited edition, i am writing due to repeated problems with the defrost control inability to clear or keep clear the windshield. Cold outside air blows from the defrost vents, and does not clear the windshield of frost or moisture, or causes moisture to re-freeze. This is caused by the failure of the blend doors in the heating system. This occurs while driving after…
