Default Jeep GC 95 Climate Control Code Problem

On the '95
If you don't see codes by pressing either A/C or RECIRC, [you will also
see the little stickman if that works] go to diag mode.

Press both A/C and RECIRC and hold down. Turn the ATC knob one click
clockwise. All the segments in the display come on.

Let go of A/C and RECIRC and you should see 00 in the display with no
stickman.

Push either A/C or RECIRC once. You should see the stickman again.
Write down the fault codes you see at this point. 25 or 29 means the
ATC module is toast and the rest of the codes may be gibberish.

From there, you can check a few of the major circuits. Just turn the
ATC knob until you see a number, then push the A/C button and record the
value displayed. Caution, the tests are mixed with read input value and
test output circuit all jumbled together.

Test I/O Subsystem Values

01 In Blower A/D OC, SC, or 00-255 or ?
02 In Blower Feedback ? or 00-255
03 Out 00-255 sets blower speed
04 Out Blower High 00=off 01= set blower high relay on.

Those would be the main ones. My guess is similar to Doug's, the blower
control is toast. The relay is enough to get high speed only. If you
ever smelled magic smoke, the controller probably shorted out, otherwise
is either open or the input from the ATC panel isn't getting to it.
