Best Answer

The mechanism is on the passenger side of the heater unit a couple inches back on the right side. It is connected by cable to the control unit on the dash in the vent setting. If it doesn't work, it is likely one of the clips securing the cable to the heater housing, or the control unit, is damaged. If you do not need the vent, then disconnect the cable from the lever on the heater unit and manually close it using the lever. Kind of a tight spot but easily done. Otherwise, you must replace the cable. Good luck finding one as they quit making them.

How do you replace wiper motor on a 1989 jeep wrangler?

You need to get the windshield folded down. This means remove the top, then the front sport bar members. On each side is a bracket that holds the windshield upright. Remove screws to allow windshield to be folded down (gently) on the hood. The wiper motor is in the top of the cowl & should easily be visible. It might not be easily accessible, but it will be visible.


Where is the wiper motor on a 1998 jeep wrangler located?

You need to remove the cowl... the piece between the windshield and the hood. There are four screws in plain sight and two hidden by the weather strip. Of course, you must remove the wiper arms prior to removing the cowl. To remove the wiper arms, look for a little tab on the bottom of the arm. Use a screw driver to move the tab outward. You shoudl then be able to remove the wiper arms. To remove the wipe motor you must remove the entire wiper module. There are three bolts that need to be removed.
