Default Need Help!

2 problems. First one is that my blower quit working on all but the highest setting. The second is around the same time (not for sure exactly when it happend because I hadnt used the 4 wheel drive for a while.) my 4 wheel drive quit working. I dont even have the little green indicator light on down there on the switch. I didnt know if they could be related or not and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you in advance for all any help, I really appreciate it.

The blower resistor burned out thats why its not working pretty straight forward to replace. 4x4 not working could be the switch is bad I would check to see if you have power there.

Thanks a lot! The resister is right under the dash on the passenger side isn't it? I think a buddy of mine has a volt meter so that shouldnt be too hard to check (power to the 4wd switch). Yeah it was really weird because I've never had a problem with the 4wd at all, and the next thing I knew it wouldn't work. I appreciate the help!

Make sure when you take out the resistor that you check the plug for it as well, when my resistor burned out, it had burned the connector up as well and I had to rewire the connector, and add the new resistor. Also, make sure you check all of your fuses for your 4wd switch, could be as easy as a burned out fuse, but more than likely the switch is bad.
