Power to the HVAC Head

[retmotor]

So yesterday, there I was minding my own business, coming home from the hardware store, when I hopped in the truck and there was no power to the HVAC head. Thankfully it was only 112 degrees (it's been a cool summer this year).

Fuse you say? Nope.

I saw Schurkey's thread on the connector behind the glovebox taking a dump (my words, not his) so I will tear into that unless someone else has some brilliant insight. But not today as I'm getting ready to go to work.

I suspect a jealousy issue. I bought an abused and neglected Jeep Cherokee and I've been in the garage with that every night for almost three weeks.

edit: Wait... Is there a fuse to the dash I'm missing? I need to dig into this tonight. Sorry for a thread where I've not done my due diligence.

Found it behind the glove box. Bad pic, I know, but it's in the circled connector. I squeezed the wires just right and heard a relay click then I saw power to the head.

The back of the connector. That's the constant hot wire.

This is the connection that takes out the controls, you have absolutely found the issue. Great pic of the melted housing.
