97 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I need a plug that goes into the blower motor resistor from the engine compartment (old one partially melted). Can't find a junk old enough (5 different junk yards and on line) and Jeep has blown me off - said it's not listed separately and getting the whole harness for a car that old isn't possible (2 different dealers - same answer). Where can I find it or have it fabricated? Thanks.

I found them for 91-96 and 99-04. But nothing on 97-98. you may have to just push the connectors on individually. I would put shrink tubing on each one so they cant touch eachother.
Good luck.
