2011-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK A/C vent removal

[@wyattoneable]

When there are hidden fasteners these tips are invaluable. Thanks.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Yeah....nothing like breaking something when you didnt realize there was something hidden holding it in place. Thanks as always for watching!

Nice Video... saved me a ton of time trying to figure it out. So simple. I painted the trim ring red while leaving the black tabs black. Looks awesome as I'm tricking her out as it is my wife's 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport JK doing a Pirate Theme on a White Body with Black Trim.

[@sentencj4x4]

Very well explained, thank you for taking the time to create this video. AWESOME.

This video was very helpful. Had my Master window switch changed in 10 minutes

[@ILoveChanelLynn]

Thank you my friend for your patient to the point awesome video! You rock!!! ❤🙌🛠👏

[@chrisb7040]

Thanks. Just did it. The left vent is different than right side you showed. The right vent with little mark goes on the top, not the bottom.

[@josherwin1250]

Was wondering how to do it because I plan on painting the silver parts blue and it looks like the silver part has clips on it to pry it off the black part

Hey, i’m Looking for a close up on the heat/defrost controls. I recently added a hardtop and wiring harness to my 2016 wrangler and the defrost is not working. The light does not come on. I have had the dealer send the flash codes. There is an empty plug on the far right on the back of that panel and i am wondering if it is supposed to have a plug for the rear defrost going into it.

[@hankardsims8862]

I got a question about my 2013 JK I change the spark plugs but I don't know the spacing to give them should be 42 or 44 and also I'm getting a squeaky noise when I turn the car on I was thinking about changing the pulley but I was also thinking about the starter solenoid getting stuck what do you think should I change both I mean it squeals and it stops but it keeps creaking while I'm driving

[@cheburashkadude2189]

Hi, I did manage to turn it, but won’t come out - something is holding. I did try all four and same problem. What I’m doing wrong? Thanks

[@cwiggybaby99]

Can you show how to remove the ac vent for a 2016 jeep compass? Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I will certainly keep that in mind as a future video. Thanks for the request and for watching this video. Make sure to subscribe.

[@davidross6165]

Do you have a video that goes through dash panel removal/disassembly?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Are we talking about the entire dash or just the portion around the cluster and radio? I dont have one for the entire dash but in the radio removal video I do go over removal of the cluster and radio section. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe

[@jefftsmottawa]

Hi David. Any idea what would cause my 2011 Wrangler floor vents to have no air blowing out of them? Dash vent setting works fine. On the mixed vent setting only the dash vents have air coming out. Defroster works fine too.

Was there a foam filter on the backside of the vent assembly? Cleanable? Necessary?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Morning Douglas.....no foam behind the vents. I did a video on installing a cabin filter on that same vehicle. That is something that I recommend mainly to stop dust/dirt from getting into the a/c box and causing the evaporator to get covered and then eventually blocked with the build up of the dust/dirt.

[@revfredl]

Hey Dave, 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I line up the hole, get the screwdriver in and crank on it but can't turn it. Any tips?

[@revfredl]

Nvm, I went out with another flat head of the same size, accept shorter, and they popped right off.

[@barrettwise6986]

Tried cooling my juul...road bumped it into the vent. Took me more time to watch the video than to retrieve my juul. Kickass video!

Currently dealing w this

[@Jeff-ov1jr]

Dave, any ideas on jku the drivers side vents are 15-20 degrees colder than passenger side?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Typically if it was more then that I would possibly think a clogged heater core. There is a chance that it might be starting to clog. I recommend removing both heater hoses from the fireway and spraying pressurized water thru each one alternating back and forth and then reconnecting the hoses and adding coolant and then recheck.

[@Jeff-ov1jr]

@@MotorCityMechanic great idea thanks I'll give it a try and let you know

[@MotorCityMechanic]

@@Jeff-ov1jr Cool. I will keep an eye out for your reply.

[@Jeff-ov1jr]

OK, Hears the update, I did as you said. Flushed the heater core -both direction's. I have pic's of core sand from the heater core.(cant upload photo's) dont know how. But good new's I have Heat at all vents,so hot you cant keep your hands on vents.Love it.Thanks again, and Happy Holidays

[@MotorCityMechanic]

@@Jeff-ov1jr Awesome.....glad that heat is back on the menu again. Appreciate the update and the next time it happens you know what you need to do. Merry Christmas Jeffro

[@joseph92wilson]

Does that help gain access to hvac actuators?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+Joe Wilson Removing the vents won't give you any real access to anything.

[@bigal1568]

I like your videos sir, I got a question. I have a 2011 Jeep JK a/c stopped working. The pump comes on and runs like normal but no fan, where is the fan and how do you test it. Any help will be appreciated

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Are you talking about the blower inside the vehicle? Its under the passenger side of the dash. To test it you need to check for 12 volts and ground at the connector with the fan turned on and the connector at the fan unplugged. Then we will have a direction to check in. Also you can try tapping on the blower motor to see if its stuck

[@jdserrato3792]

Dude thank u so much

[@appleguy1986]

Awesomeness!

[@fedozabidi6066]

Hey man ... I have a dodge avenger 2.4l 2011 when I turn the AC on or the heater the RPM start to go up and down between 500 RPM and 700 with vibration. If the AC off every thing is fine. I went to multiple shops one of them told me coils and the other told me spark plugs so I don't know what to do. What is the problem u think? Sorry for my long story... thx

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I personally dont think its either. We dont have issues with those coils so thats not needed and plugs would cause a skip it there was an issue there. Sounds like something that is going to require some checking. There is no one thing I can tell you that might be the cause. Its not something that I have come across. I wonder if the issue is ac related and if the ac is being cycled off and on for some reason such as a pressure related issue.

[@fedozabidi6066]

Thanks a lot dude

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Anytime!

[@gregleonard7469]

Great vid, I would have never figured it on my own without breKing something, the notch on the louvers has to be positioned on the top to line up the release hole (2013 jk). Thanks
