          It fit my 2004 Jeep Liberty Sport perfectly. I only had high speed on my fan and then that died. It fixed the problem perfectly. A garage wanted to charge me on $100 to fix. It was easy to do on my own.

                      Exact part that I needed.

                      By Bill

                      from Chesapeake, VA

                      Comments about BWD Blower Motor Resistor:

                      I needed to repair a blower motor on my 2006 Jeep Wranger, one speed would not work.

                      Worked great, not to difficult to replace if you know the secret of getting the plug off. Take two small flat bladed screwdrivers. From the bottom of the connector, pry up a bit on the center red tab, just enough to make it touct the top, then push foward with the other screwdriver. The red "thingy" should slide forward about 1/8 of an inch. Then the plug can be worked loose.

                            This resistor was an exact match to the original one right down to the place of manufacture. The installation was much easier than the removal of the original. The price was the best I could find [...] at a local store.

                                    Most of the time, these resistors are located behind the dash on the passenger side near all of the inside A/C components. It does sound like this may be your problem.

                                    If should be located on the assembly behind the glove box, under the dashboard. One other place that it may be, is on the other side of the panel where all your controls are for changing the air conditioning.
