Squeaks Defrost Only Problem
Of course this kind of stuff never happens when it is moderately cool out, but rather when the temps are constantly over 100 degrees. Squeaks, our 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, decided to only blow air out the defrost vents earlier this week. Controls would not do anything. While the AC was still blowing, when it is 105 out, not having that airflow across your body makes it seem a lot hotter in the vehicle. There are a couple of …

After some diagnosis work with the volt meter, I confirmed it was indeed the window regulator. Ran to oreilly’s and picked up a new regulator and got it changed out. Got to love Jeeps, meant to be fixed in the field. Even the …
