Build Years/Makes/Models:	2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
Occurances:
Reference Number:	10235421
Summary:	BOUGHT THE 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2007. THE A/C WORKED GREAT. MOVED TO MIAMI, FL ON 01/08 , AND HAD TO START USING A/C ALOT. WHILE LEARNING THE VEHICLES HABITS. I NOTED THE A/C UNIT TO STOP WORKING WHEN ON. THE UNIT WOULD BE ON, AND THEN GO OUT, AND COME BACK ON. LIKE THERE WAS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. I ALSO SMELT A BURNING SMELL IN THE CAB. I STOPPED TURNING ON A/C UNIT ALL TOGETHER AT MY GRANDFATHERS REQUEST UNTIL I MOVED BACK TO NC ON 07/08. WHEN HE LOOKED AT THE A/C COMPONENTS; HE NOTED THAT THE "BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR" (LOCATED UNDER PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE BOX, AND BESIDE THE BLOWER UNIT )WAS MELTED SO BAD THAT THE WIRES AT THE 3 PRON FEMALE CONNECTOR WAS FRAYED/EXPOSE (WHERE HEAT MELTED/SHRUNK CONNECTORS AWAY FROM WIRES) LEAVING HOT WIRES TOUCHING ONE ANOTHER. THIS IN RETURN CAUSED WIRE EXPOSURE. THE "BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR" UNIT ENDED UP MELTING SO BAD IT WAS WARPED. THIS PART ALSO NEVER ONCE BLEW THE 40AMP FUSE UNDER HOOD FOR THE A/C UNIT.... OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. I AM REALLY UPSET THAT MY VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO LIVE WIRES/MELTING PARTS/ LACK OF FUSE BLOWING. THIS IS A 125$ PART MINUS DEALERSHIP REPAIR. PART RELATED TO CHEROKEE "LIMITED"DUAL CLIMATE FUNCTIONS OF THE A/C DASH UNIT (AIR POSITION KNOB, AUTOMATIC DIGITAL TEMP DISPLAY,AND AIR FLOW FAN KNOB). THE PART IS REMOVED WHICH MEANS TO CUT WIRES TO DETACH THE PART. THIS MEANS THE NEW PART WILL HAVE TO BE REWIRED BACK IN. JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THE UNIT WIRES, AND PLASTIC CONNECTORS, AND FIND A WAY TO CONTROL THE MELT DOWN! PART UNFIXED DUE TO LACK OF MONEY TO REPAIR....! NO A/C IS BETTER THAN A BURNT CAR. (RIGHT????) OLD PART IS AVAILABLE AND A VERY COMMON PART TO BUY; RECALL IT JEEP! SOMEONE ELSE BEING SPOILED WOULD HAVE KEPT TURNING ON THE A/C FOR A BABY AND CAUGHT FIRE TO THE CAR. LUCKY FOR JEEP COMPANY, AND MYSELF I STOPPED USING THE A/C UNTIL LOOKED AT. RECALL IT...DEATH OR TOTAL LOSS OF CAR? ALOT OF A/C PROBLEMS IN THESE CARS HELP! *TR
