2002 grand cherokee blower motor issues?
I have an 02 jeep grand cherokee special edition. over a year ago i started having issues with my ac/heat fan. for a while, it would only work intermittently, then after several weeks it would only work on high.
then about a month ago i started losing high every once in a while, until it cut out all together. sometimes i could get it to work by banging on the dash, and then nothing would help.
i figured it was either my resistor or blower motor, but was waiting for enough time to be able to take things apart and figure out what exactly was the problem.
today i took it through an automatic car wash. when i went through the wind area at the very end, viola! i have air again on not only high, but also all of the other settings.
now i'm just wondering how long this will last, and what exactly could be wrong with it so i can permanently fix it if it goes out again.
anybody know what this could be?

Check for power and ground at the motor at all blower settings when it goes down again. You might have a bad ground.

I'm guessing the bearings in the motor were full of dust that is causing the motor to slowly seize up. The water from the car wash may have flushed out the dust enough for the motor to run. Let it go as long as it will, but eventually you will need to replace the blower.
