The sway bar end links and blower motor




When the jeep first arrived in our driveway, the previous owners, Jen and Michael, we were told that the end sway bar links needed to be changed. Along with the blower motor, but I'll get to that later. So when we took it in, we got it jacked up and ready to be looked at. after everything was taken apart we found that the links had broken from the top(ball joints had seperated). so my dad, Doug Cooper bought the link they were shortly changed. actually the left sway bar link was changed onApril,27th,2010,and the right sway bar link was changed on May,8th,2011. (just kidding it was changed in 2010)

After that was done (thank god) we decided to diagnose the blower moter because none of the speeds were working. When we tested the voltage they all had zero accept for high and that only gave us 3.5 volts out of 12.So we ripped apart the dash destroying the entire jeep and then we blew it up(na, we took it apart carefully and set the peices aside. We tested all the switches and they all worked.(hmmmm) After a bunch of theries we came with the assumption that it must be the blower motor resister. we took our tools and pulled it out and that is what it looks like.After we bought the new one we replaced them on May,10th,2010.
Photo #2-looks kinda messy doesn't it
