Hi there!
I got my 2013 JKU a few months back and have really been enjoying it. This forum has been a tremendous source of information so far, but I've encountered a problem for which my searching has turned up nothing. I hope you can offer suggestions!
First off, it has been raining here for DAYS. Hard rain. My JKU is parked outside. Perhaps its related? This issue reared its head this morning, as it wasn't doing this last night when I came home.
Currently, any time the key is in the ignition and the power is turned on, the cabin AC/Heat fan is running full blast. The position of the fan speed dial doesn't change a thing, it's blasting no matter the position of that or any other dial. All other aspects of the system still seem to work as expected.
Any thoughts?
As a side note, this morning when I discovered this problem, I also noticed that my freedom top front panels had been letting some water in at the middle seam between the two front panels, as there were drips and a bit of pooling in the low areas of the console around the gear shift lever and the 4WD lever. There was also some water in the cubby hole in the center stack where the power window switches would be if I had them. I didn't find water anywhere else like on or around the cabin control dials. I haven't had those panels off since last fall, and it's seen some rain since then, but perhaps not like this.
Do you think there's a relationship between the water intrusion and the fan issue, or are they both just cropping up now as a result of the biblical rain we're having? Or is the fan issue not related to the rain at all?
Any advice or direction to start looking would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to tackle this problem myself rather than admit defeat and take it to someone.
Thanks!
