Anyone know where you can buy a new bower motor resistor? I am tired of no low speed, and I would like to get new, so I don't have to tear apart the dash again in the future. Also, my car has factory installed AC, and I was wondering if there are any heat vents to the floor. G/F's most recent complaint is her feet are always cold and the heat is too stifling hot, lol.
-
Shut the upper vents and the package tray vents to direct more heat to the floor.

Make sure the squid release is closed.

Yeah, I keep the fresh air vent closed until spring. I did a little digging around during lunch and found a couple problems. There is a cable that controls a door for the lower two vents on top of the transmission tunnel. It opens the vents when in "heat" half open in "high-low" and closed in "defrost". When I move the switch in my car, it adjusts the other doors in the box properly, but is not actuating the cable for the lower door. So I manually opened the door with the car on and fan running to see if it was working and was greeted by a blast of old leaves, carpet padding, twigs, and somehow, a figurine of a small monkey. I then had to dig about another handful of debris out from the door area with a coat hanger to get in the tight area. After I did that, heat seemed to work good from the lower vents, just have to fix my control head for automatic operation, lol.

Ahhh the obvious we forgot to mention. Those cables do get out of whack once in a while. I know that mine came off in the SX/4.

Darn monkeys :rotfl:

Fixed this little demon. When I pulled the resistor, I found that the low speed resistor coil had melted and stuck itself to the medium speed coil, creating higher resistance on the medium and no flow on low speed. For a temporary fix, I was able to put what was left of the low speed coil, half was left, back to where a wire was sticking up that the missing part was attached to. I then twisted the two together and crimped for a tight hold.

The resistor should be the same as that year of Jeeps
