If I were to guess on the material; I would say the bushing material is bronze.Does it have nylon bushings, bronze, steel, pot metal, who knows??

Are the two interchangeable/same plug?I have a 2006 (2005 in some places) TJ golden eagle - I'm in Australia so the glovebox is on the LHS, but I have assumed everything would just be a mirror image. Apparently not.
Word to the wise: don't trust the parts recommendations without checking which one you have first, as everywhere will say you have the solid state resistor, when in fact, you have the coil resistor. I chucked my camera in the little access hole in the passenger foot well, and lo and behold, Its there (and looks like its covered in dust too, which is probably why it gave up the ghost.).
Unfortunately no. You can see in an earlier post the difference between the two - the solid state version is a slim card, and goes in behind the glove box, whereas the coil goes in a totally different location in the foot well, and has a different shape and interface; it’s quite chunky.Are the two interchangeable/same plug?
Is it the box to the left of the green plug?

Decided to tackle my blower resistor in my '06. It was only working on High
This project is akin to arthroscopic surgery!
Ordered a "standard" brand resistor from Amazon about $13 this IS the same part as OEM Mopar
Removed glovebox
Took down the courtesy light
Finagled the resistor out while still hooked up
Removed the little red retainer on the plug
IMPORTANT: Found that the stubborn SOB plug still wouldn't come out.
Found that you still have to release the clip in the plug with a little screwdriver. After that it was smooth sailing. (Except for the contortions of working under the dash)

Little clip that needs to be released after the red retainer is removed:

a couple tools that were helpful. A mirror and a long 1/4" flex ratchet. It has 1/4" square on one end and 1/4" hex for screwdriver bit on the other. Usually when I pull that out it's because the job sucks!

We can’t get the red clip out - any tips?

The red clip should slide open (not come completely out) then you can release the clip holding the connector together.
