ping group 97 GP fan awitch

Mar 26, 2007 2 Replies

I have a 97 GP SE 4 dr. It rolled 100k here over the last few months. It has been a near perfect car since I bought it in December 1999. Now, the switch, the switch controls fan operation for both a/c & heater-defroster. It has 6 positions, off on left, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, max in that order, turning the knob clockwise. All positions worked before Thanksgiving of 2006. Then it slowly lost all except #5 & max. Also, this clicking noise began to come from in the dash when I'd turn on the switch in positions 1, 2, 3, & 4. In position 3 & 4 the use of the switch will cause the DRL to shut off. DRL's are daytime running lights. I've been told, today, the relay under the dash may be bad. I also was told that at $80 per hour labor rates, the cost to reach the relay could run as high as $400. I just spent $700+ on it for all new tires, a wheel bearing, and an alignment. I still need to tune it this year, but overall I'm still way ahead on repair costs. When I got it, I paid $7500 for it , the dealers were charging $16-17k. It came from a leasing company, was company car for food broker. Kept in perfect shape. Any ideas?? BTW, is there only one fuse with this fan motor? Rich email is snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com
