Salvagedcircuit Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I was sifting through jeep forum threads, as one does, and this mysterious piece came up. It looks like some kind of blower motor / blower motor vacuum actuator cover. Does anyone know what the official name for this is? I'd like to buy one and CAD it up so others can print one. This looks like a unicorn part to me, I don't think I've ever seen this in my brother's XJ. Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_SX4 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It is called the Resistor Cover. Item #14 in the diagram. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts-list/1987-jeep-comanche/heater_air_conditioning/blower_motor_and_housing_heater_and_air_conditioning.html I have never seen one in person but now I want one.

89 MJ Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Were these not standard on all trucks? I suppose it was probably easy to lose too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZJeff Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 That cover is used mostly to keep people from kicking the latticework grate on the bottom of the heater box where recirculating air enters. The grate is plastic, and can easily be broken not someone with big feet. It is not essential to operation of anything on the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
