How do you replace the blower motor resistor on a jeep 2000 Cherokee?

I just replaced mine and it took 30 minutes and the part was $35 (from Jeep dealer). Start by removing 3 philips screws that hold glove box in place (on bottom edge of glove box). Once glove box is out you can see the resistor but I couldn't get to it without removing the black panel under the glove box. ...So remove the bolt/screw that hold the little light that lights up floor by passengers feet. Next, remove 4 or 5 screws that hold the black plastic panel that is under the glove box (I removed the 2 screws toward firewall and a couple toward the seat and left the one on the right hand side screwed in because it was hard to reach) ... then remove 2 screws holding the resistor. Screw in new resistor. THEN TURN ON JEEP AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS. Now just reverse the process and put the plastic panel and glove box back. That's All Folks!

What fuse is for the back up lights on a 1998 Jeep Cherokee?

It isn't labelled, but they work with the regular lights fuses #7 and #23.

It is on the same circuit as the brake lights, but if they are not working, and the bulbs are good your switch needs cleaning or adjustment.

Attempt this first since the switch costs nearly $300 bucks.

On the passengers side of the trans just behind the bell housing there is a fan shaped switch, loosen the 12mm bolt ( smaller of the two, and rotate the switch while a friend checks the lights. this problem is usually accompanied by an occasional inability to start the vehicle, but can be cured by jiggling the shifter.

While adjusting the switch make sure that the vehicle will start in park as well, remember to block the wheels while testing the back up lights, engine off, key in run but not start, shifter in reverse, move switch until lights come on.

Once you find this spot, hold it in place and have your helper check to make sure it will start. This may take several tries to get both working correctly.

If you have no luck the switch may be dirty, this happens a lot. Hold the post to the bottom large bolt still while you loosen the nut, then remove it, then remove the 12mm adjusting bolt on top, remove the wire connector and pull the switch away, remove the bolts on the switch and separate the halves, use electrical contact cleaner and maybe some q-tips to clean all the copper connections completely apply di-electric grease and reassemble, refit to the trans and readjust so all functions work, this switch controls back up and start safety.

Caution! always hold that bottom bolt while tightening the large nut, this is connected to the gear adjuster and you could damage the internals if it isn't secured while you do it.
