Looking for a Canadian dealer

I dealt with Gemini Sales in BC, Canada when I had a CJ. Peter Kent was very helpful.

I'm not sure about TJparts.

Twenty bucks??? For the entire dash control unit?? When I called my dealer they said I had to buy the whole thing....Thieves!!!!

Thanks for the > That's like about twenty bucks, American?

There is an issue with a dash ground wire on some TJ's. This makes the heater fan control not work. The fix is to put a new bolt in it where it attaches to the dash if I remember right.

What has led you to believe that your problem is with the dash unit?

Process of elimination....changed the resistor pack, pulled the blower out, hooked it directly to the battery, and it worked. Recently noticed that on the dash controls, in the off position, it blows a bit, and nothing in every other position...what else could it be??

Fuseable links? not saying its not nor could be your "head unit" but before you go spending $$$ you may want to check all your fuseable links. If you find one thats bad make sure you replace it with a fuseable link of the same rating.

The switch ground wire on the back of the dash. The low setting is controlled by the heat slider not the fan switch. It is a separate switch.

I checked all the fuses...the ones near the battery, and the ones in the back of the glove compartement...all good

It is half driving me nuts because I can't find where I read about it, but apparently the TJ dash has 2 ground wires, one on each side and if the one on the center side comes loose, the heater fan switch craps out. If the other comes loose you lose some gauges or something like that. If the main plug comes loose, the air bag light comes on and the speedo fails.

The 'TSB' article I read said to replace the bolt holding the wire on.

I haven't got any Canadians, but I can round up several Mexicans for you ... We have them all over the place around here.

I don't normally deal in this comodity, but times are slow and I could use a few extra bucks ...

No not fuses, fuseable links, these will be down on your starter (or starter relay if the two are separate)they are the plus (+) supplies for your electrical system. They may be worth checking out.

No thanks don't want any Mexicans, its bad enough the have the French Canadians and the Newfi's, but if you willing to take the frenchmen we might go for a 3for1 swap 3 frenchies for one mexican :)

Why would I do that? I can get the Mexicans to do something, those Frenchmen - even the Canadian ones - ain't worth a hill of beans (no pun intended).

You can replace the 4-way blower switch without replacing the whole control unit. The dealers just neglect to tell you that unless asked. About $16.00US.
