TJ Heater Question?

That is an odd one... The high setting is a direct 12 volts to the heater motor.
What year?
There is a recall out on the 99's at least about a bad ground connection on the back right of the instrument cluster panel that will cause the heater switch not to work. Maybe yours is loose so when it asks for full power the connection fails?

Yeah it is strange...
It is a 97 Wrangler.. It was working on the highest setting and all ofa sudden stopped. the first three settings work great..
thanks, SP
I just fixed mine ,it's the sensor chip ,i don't know what it's called , my garage said it happens alot ,,,,, 10$ that's all
I was just about to mention that!
Might just be a bad switch.
After rereading this I see your talking about the rheostat & not the switch, nevermind!
At the highest setting it is bypassing the resistor.The dash switch (in a 00 Cheeokee)connects to ground,dissconnect the plug at the resistor and check for continuity between the harness and a good ground.At each fan setting a different pin will have this.
