1. Must have tool: Harbor Freight, PITTSBURGH Ratcheting Right Angle Multi-Bit Screwdriver Set, 8 Piece $2.99 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable (under passenger seat for 20 mins.) to recalibrate the blend door actuator system.

Good tips my friend thanks for adding!

[@user-xj9zs6tl4c]

THANK YOU for this video! It was easy to follow along with and had good close-ups that were bright & clear. It helped me to change my full actuator. I'm a female who tries to fix things on my own and I rely so much on these types of videos, so thank you for your help!

[@LJsGarage]

You are so welcome!

[@Sabios33]

Wife and I just tried this and it worked out our issue. Thanks for the walkthrough!

[@LJsGarage]

I have a 2014 grand cherokee, my driver side works fine but my passenger side doesn't get as cold as the driver side and I have it on sync. Also if im driving long distance with ac on after a while the ac starts getting a bit warm. What could that be?

[@Wise-Tech33]

Let me know if you find anything out on this. Having the same issue

[@LJsGarage]

Mine ended up being low refrigerant and a leak. if you verify the pressure then the other blend door actuator

[@hj7993]

Thanks for the video. Which year is this Grand Cherokee because I have seen videos where the actuator is above the passenger side leg area liner (above the foot light).

[@LJsGarage]

2024 and yeah there are two actuators sadly

[@hj7993]

@LJsGarage You mean two actuators at passenger side and one at driver side (total 3)?

[@laloarellano7360]

Did you ever figure out your AC problem. Mine is doing the same thing

[@LJsGarage]

I have a condenser leak so I'll be replacing that this weekend 😩

[@Koneko91]

@@LJsGarage Is there a follow up video for that? My actuator gear was actually broken, but that didn't fix the problem for me.

[@miltonr555]

Did you ever figure out what is wrong with the system? My local Jeep dealership said might be the housing unit? 1700 n labor and that’s not including the parts

[@LJsGarage]

Mine ended up being a slow leak in my condenser. Hopefully your's isnt that :/

[@GalMann2]

What was the problem eventually?

[@LJsGarage]

Leak in condenser

[@lstruggy]

U think 07 jgc laredo uses the elongated knob or the flat ferries wheel looking thing?

[@LJsGarage]

I'm not certain unfortunately

[@Analyzer52]

How do you tell if you need the passenger or driver's side one? Is the side that is not operating correctly needs the replacemnt? Guessing that's how it would work.

[@LJsGarage]

Correct!

[@richelleinwesttexas1832]

I have the same problem

[@LJsGarage]

Mine was the slow leaking ac condenser :/

[@Mrdubomb]

Poor heat on one side? Your issue is probably the heater core plugged, If you can feel the airflow switching and there are no codes in the hvac unit. Theyre a parallel flow style which generally cannot be unplugged.

[@LJsGarage]

Ended up being a leak in my condenser thanks though my friend!

[@theronewoods6082]

Did you figure out the problem because i'm going through the same thing

[@LJsGarage]

Leak in my condenser :/

[@RAM121264]

I have a question how come nobody mentions the blend door actuator above the cab air filter to the left of the filter up high and one you pointed out because there are two right there the second one is to the right of the one you’re pointing out and up a little higher. I will post a video tomorrow when I’m working on mine.

[@LJsGarage]

Great point honestly didn't know that

[@alexrodriguez7192]

Did you replace the 2nd one ? Was that your problem ?

[@joeklenk6693]

I think this is my problem. Were you able to replace that one? How do you get to it?

[@kevinking3394]

That's the recirculation actuator. It won't cause temperature problems.

[@Hatim_Supreme_Salaam]

Have you replaced the driver side actuator yet?

[@LJsGarage]

Negative my friend

[@timmmmay85]

I’ve heard it’s a nightmare in comparison. I need to try this weekend.

[@MrBallensLikeButton1]

What about drivers side….

[@LJsGarage]

You don't want to know lol

[@biglefty08]

Now let's see the driver side 😅😅😅

[@LJsGarage]

Haha

[@kiyahc]

Muffler man quoted me $1800 to replace the whole hvac system 💀

[@LJsGarage]

The whole system lol dang

[@kevinking3394]

That's because there is an issue with the blend doors themselves sticking and causing the gear to break prematurely.

[@caseyparker8371]

All that for it not to fix your problem? lol thanks

[@LJsGarage]

Turns out I have a leak around my condenser lol fun project to come!

[@markbrown9838]

My son has the same problem on his 14 Grand Cherokee. Planning on doing the same thing you did. May replace gear and actuator to rule both out if that doesn't fix it. Hopefully that's my problem and not a leak.

[@knxghtro]

@@markbrown9838what’s his doing?

[@JERZEEHOTBOY]

​@@markbrown9838How did it turn out? I have the same problem on my 14 grand cherokee too! Cold on the driver side hot on the passenger side.

[@hautehussey]

@@JERZEEHOTBOYwhat did yours end up being?
