I have a 99 Jeep wrangelr. 4cyl no A/C. The blower motor does not come
on with any setting?

I have removed the blower and hooked it up to the battetry and it
spins smoothly.

Using a Multimeter. I also have 12volts at the connection that plugs
into the motor when the Dash switch is on and in any position.

I have ready about a recall for this year where the ground wire needs
reconnected but i am unsure which wire this is.

Anyone know which wire is the ground wire for this recall? Any Ideas
why i have 12 volts at the motor but it doesnt spin? Its seems to me
that if the ground is not making a good connection the AMPS may not be
sufficient for the motor to spin but i cant figure out a way to test
this theory. Could a bad resistor Pack also cause this?

Thoughts?

Hope this helps.

Recall 99V117000: Instrument Panel Ground Screws Loose

The left side and right side instrument panel wiring ground attachment
screws could loosen over time. If the left side screw loosens, the
instrument panel gauges may not function when the headlamps are turned
on. If the right side screw loosens, the defroster blower motor may
not function.

Dealers will remove the ground screws, drill a new pilot hole adjacent
to the original hole, and the screws will be reinstalled in the new
holes.

Thanks for the info. Any idea which is the "right" ground wire? There
is one under the dash that is connected to the Body but it is not
loose and i chacked it with a meter and there is zero resistance
between the wire and the vehicle body. I also checked betweeen the
body and the battery terminal and also zero ohms.
