Perfect fit for Jeep Commander 06

The fan speed control was not working on my Jeep Commander 06 and this part fixed the problem. It only took about 10 minutes to replace the broken part and now I can turn off the fan whenever I want. Very happy.

Pros
  • Includes wiring harness, a necessary component for most repairs
Cons
  • Almost OK

Wiring harness back to front

As with other reviews of this kit, I found the fan to be reverse-acting. Swapping the positive and negative wires going to the fan on one end only fixed it, but it would be nice not to. On the other hand, it got my fan going.

Pros
  • Direct replacement for the right fit every time
Cons
  • No automatic

Miswiring at factory

Resistor bank reversed as factory wired. As a result, the fan motor turns in the wrong direction and no air comes out of the ventilation slots. The solution is to cut the power harness from the resistor pack to the fan motor and swap the black and green wires. I can't believe the block is still being sold by Revain or anyone else.

Pros
  • Restores heating and cooling system to original peak performance
Cons
  • Compatibility

Fits 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The first order was incomplete, only the resistor was in the box, nothing else. This shortcoming has been fully addressed with the Revain return process. The crimp connectors didn't match my wiring so I soldered the wires together. As mentioned by other buyers, the polarity of the fan needs to be reversed. I couldn't replace the wires to the fan motor so I had to cut those wires as well. So I was able to correct the polarity right away. Placed in a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland V8 4.7L.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Only available in white
