2001 TJ blower motor issue

[JDubya1980]

So my blower motor stopped working. I replaced the fan speed switch, relay, resistor, blower motor, checked all fuses, and finally changed the climate control panel. I still have nothing. I've checked all the grounds with a test light at the plugs and everything is ground. I don't know what else it could be. Anybody have any suggestions?

Harness? You download the FSM and start checking continuity? Or use a test light or volt meter to see if you have power at the motor?

Yeah I used a test light on the blower motor plug and it's got continuity.

And power?

Wouldn't be the first brand new part I've bought that's dead out if the box. Gotta love Chinesium.

Try running 12v straight to the blower motor... betcha it's dead.

Also possible debris in the box is preventing it from spinning right round.

Thanks I'll give that a shot.

Based on experience of changing blower motors in both my TJs ... both times I simply didn't push the harness connection hard enough into the motor electrical prongs. ??
