There are two possibilities here. If the system is air bound or the coolant level is low it can act like that. Check to make sure coolant is full...If it is, remove the cap and start the engine and let it run till it reaches operating temp, keeping the heater on high heat setting.
After it is fully warmed up, add more coolant if necessary.
The other item is the vacuum system. If there is a minor vacuum leak, there may not be enough vacuum to open the control doors for the heater. Since it was hit, I'd check all vacuum connections, lines and also the vacuum reservoir behind the front bumper inside the right fender (most common location) to make sure everything is intact. The leak would have to be small though or the system would not work at all so look carefully.

2005 Jeep Wrangler Heater and Cigarette Lighters not working.

May help - fuses supply power but also needed is earth return to battery. This is usually black wires running from device to the car metal. To diagnose you need a multimeter. Check body of cigar lighter is connected to the chasis with meter on ohms. (continuity test) good is zero ohms. If earth problem, check under dash to ensure all earth wires connect to metal chassis. Then with ignition on, check centre pin at back inside cigar lighter has 12 volts to side.
If not then check fuse has 12 volt to it, Now you can get to the fan, repeat all the tests on fan. Best wishes, its tedious work.

My interior fan (air conditioning fan) suddenly doesn't work on positions one (lowest) and two, but works fine on positions three and four. What gives?

The fan uses a resistor block that creates the various fan speeds. It sounds as though the lower two fan speed resisitors are broken. This means you will have to replace the fan resistor block. The only other possibility would be the fan switch on the dash you use to set the speed. It is most likely the resistor block, but if you are handy with a test light, you can verify the switch is good or bad, or take it to your favorite mechanic and have him or her verify.
good luck.

2001 Jeep Wrangler heater blower stopped working

Yes I would go with the switch, BUT, does it have a resistor bank? That is, how does it reduce the speed? Many systems use resistors to lower the speed. Burnt or bad connections can cause this as well.
You can test the blower motor by connecting direct power from a source like the cigarette lighter if you are handy.
Most of the time the lower speeds konk out but the high speed continues to work this is the resistor bank that goes out.

I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler and the heater fan stopped working for all the fan speeds. The fuses are fine. How do you know if it is the blower resistor or the blower motor?

If you bypass the resistor pack and connect the motor directly to the fused 12v supply then the fan should run at maximum speed. If so, it's the resistor pack that's blown: a very common fault on a huge number of makes and models.

I have a 1988 jeep wrangler that won't idle.

1. check for vaccuum leaks.
2. check for a check engine code

1994 Jeep Wrangler hard to keep running

The fuel pump is located in the gas tank and the filter is right in front of the tank on the inside of the frame. I have never worked on that particular throttle body, but if it has a throttle position sensor, that could be what your problem is.

1999 jeep wrangler heater blower

you need to change the resister block for the fan. it is located on the heater duct near the fan... there is a connector on it and two or three screws holding it in.
