What owners wrote
Tl*- the contact stated that this 2001 jeep grand cherokee had a failure in the blower motor control module. The contact stated that he had the blower motor control module replaced 2 years ago. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH this vehicle compartment filled with smoke. He contacted the dealership and was told that therewas a large number of vehicles with the same problem, and they could not get the part in fast enough to make all of the repairs.
The plug and wiring to the blower motor on many jeep vehicles is burning up. I do not believe the plug or the wires, including the tabs the plug connects to, are heavy enough to carry the load of the blower. It is fused at 40amps.
