Can't find the correct blower motor switch for my 97 TJ?

The part came in and it's definitely the same one that had melted and is 4 speeds. It fits flush with the dash and switch.

The weird thing is when I line it up on the correct screws the switch is aligned way off.

Other folks here chime in...my thought is that the switch needs to be rotated. I just replaced an HVAC actuator switch in my son's 05. When I went to install the new one and align it with the old screw holes, the switch wasn't in the correct position. I took a flathead and gently rotated the switch so that it was in the correct position to install.

That will probably fix it. I was short on time so left it as is for now and I will get back at it soon. I still need to find an electrician that will fix the melted harness that has been difficult to find.

Sounds good. Keep us updated on how it goes. This is the way that we all learn on this forum.
 
Can we get an update on this part? Thanks.

Finally had it installed last week. The part was correct and works but unfortunately I still have only two speeds. There could be another short on the plug that is under the passenger side dash. Since it is speeds 2 and 3 that work I am pretty comfortable and haven't checked yet.

I tried the link on your post but it didn’t help. Do you have a part number?
 
If we can track down a wiring diagram for these early cars, I would be more than willing to rewire to just have high and low if I knew the right wires for each.
