Jeep Cherokee Blowing Cold Air On Passenger Side

Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee was blowing cold air on the passenger side. We diagnosed it with a failed right panel vent sensor. The Jeep would only blow hot air on the passenger side if the heat range was set to max.

I'm haveing the same problem. with my 2011 jeep grand cherokee Overland. Is this part compatible. To my jeep?

[@superchargedmagnum6185]

I had the exact same problem, passenger side dash vent blowing cold unless on max setting. Followed this video and ordered the part on Amazon. Used a needle nose pliers to yank it out. Works perfect now and took about 30 minutes. Thanks ACH!

[@eriksanke9829]

Thanks for taking the time to record and post this !

[@j.j.morano6740]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I bought my used 2015 Limited from Car Max 5 years ago and didn't have any heat on the driver's side. Since it was still under warranty I took it to Perry Jeep in National City, CA and after a week of tinkering with my car and numerous software flashes they gave it backed to me "fixed". After a month I realized it wasn't fixed but living in San Diego I rarely need the heat and just learned to live with it. Can't believe Perry Jeep of National City couldn't figure out such a simple fix!!!

[@ACHAutomotive]

You're very welcome! It took me some digging to figure it out so I am not surprised. Newer vehicles are complicated lol

[@gilbertmendez9730]

Thank you for the video. It was a great deal of help fixing my wife’s 2016 Cherokee that had the same issue.

[@ACHAutomotive]

Glad it helped

[@trend81120]

Thank you so much for this, I fixed up my 2014 Cherokee

[@dianelauzon8667]

Good explanation on how to fix.

[@andriyp4313]

Thanks for the video!

[@jimsdimideas5383]

Thanks for the good details!

[@ACHAutomotive]

Very welcome

[@gonen6tseconds]

I have the same exact year and model. Thank you for making this video to share, this is and WILL SAVE ME tons of cash as the dealer wants close to $900.00 to replace a 25.00 part not including a 175.00 diagnostic charge just to see what the issue is. Is there another sensor for the blend doors in the same area as the climate control sensor? Maybe you can make another video explaining how to change the blend door gears? Thank you again for saving me a lot of money. I do have the hard plastic trim removal kit already, so that is step number one.

[@henkeeric]

Thanks for this intuitive video. I replaced both my drivers and passengers side temp sensor using this video as a guide.

[@backontheyak]

Much appreciated. I have a 2015 jeep cherokee latitude and now I have the idea on how to take the radio out etc. Thanks.

[@ACHAutomotive]

Glad to help

[@satelliteRadar]

Wow thanks for this info. Mine is doing the same as this cherokee.

[@ACHAutomotive]

No problem

[@davidobrian5623]

Have you hand an issue with the heat not changing to defrost or floor? Mine will only blow out of the front vents, I can hear in the dash the change of air flow so I’m not sure if it’s the blend door actuator. Do you have any pointers on what to look at?

[@timvanoss551]

Can the driver side blend door actuator be accessed the same way? Getting a B104E on a 2014 Cherokee Limited.

[@NineOH9er]

Question as far as diagnostic tools. I have a Forscan for my superduty can I use that? What diagnostic tool are you using in this video? TIA

[@Cicada2010]

I'm having the same issue with my 2017 cherokee, passenger side dash vents and floor blow cool while drivers side is hot. Mine doesn't have the auto climate or dual temp zone though, wonder if it's the same thing??

[@rosyaguilar7151]

I have a different issue. The ac and heater does not match when we use if. If I want my side warm it has to be at the highest and then vise verse for the passenger. Do I still need to change that on both sides?

[@theronewoods6082]

Does this work on a twenty eleven jeep grand cherokee I have hot on one side and cold on the other

[@claudiosoto2913]

Thanks for the video I have the same problem but on the driver's side

[@ACHAutomotive]

Glad it helped

[@Lou-cw5vc]

Thank you help out very much i have a 2018 jeep cherokee trailhawk with the same problem ..will not now thanks to you ..

[@ACHAutomotive]

Glad it helped!

[@mexitechnology7838]

Hey New to my car and cars here. I bought the same car as yours, my question is do you really need to unplug the battery to do this?

[@jacksonsletten1101]

I have a 2019 jeep srt and it is blowing cold air on the passengers and drivers side feet. Is there a reason this is happening?

[@satelliteRadar]

Any idea where this is located on a latitude without dual climate controls? I cannot figure this out.

[@paulsladinski1236]

I have almost same problem..except passengers side has no heat whatsoever even on high. Drivers side works as it should once i replace this ssame sensor drive side ..i also replaced passenger side but it didn't fix...so I'm wondering bad sensor..or is there something else i missed? Also for reference 2015 trailhawk 3.2 and dual climate..thanks any help appreciated

[@Morgan2XL]

Thanks. Had been ragging on the dealer service dept to do this for 3 years. They wanted to start with a $350 diagnostic charge! The new NEW THERMISTORS read 2610 ohms at 27 C the failed one was reading 2500 ohms and failing while in use. The Old thermistor leads are soldered on to the plastic barbed housing leads within about 2.5 mm of the thermisitor - just poor practice the soldering probably fried the thermistor. The right thermistor was reading 2900 ohms at 20C but got swapped out just because.... T he 58 CENT thermistors appear to be able to be exchanged out of the plastic barbed housing if you have a friend in the HVAcC trade that buys them by the bucket. An 11" bent 90 needle nose makes short work of extracting the barbed housing. Dealer part number 68396055AA sensor- air temperature has a white body but seems to work $35.26

[@ACHAutomotive]

Yea it is a pain to change. Although this is nothing compared to my 2012 Ford Fusion. That had a similar issue at one point, you have to fully disasemble the dashboard to replace a $20 part. Never did it. Car got whacked and I ditched it.

[@dancujo3247]

Hello, Is the OBDLINK MX bidirectional ? Also were and how did you get the schematics ?

[@ACHAutomotive]

I do not believe it is. I got the schematics right from Chrysler Tech Authority. Both the factory service manual and electrical diagrams were about $200.

[@dancujo3247]

Is the service manual for just the jeep or covers all dodge models ? Also do you think it will work on 2014 dodge avenger for resetting the TPMS. Looks like someone was able to disable his TPMS in WIN for dodge Journey 2011 Downloaded the demo but didn't see option for WIN. I,m using ELM327 BUT not getting connected. May have to get the OBDLINK MX PRO. TRY FORSCan with ELM327 Adapter on your Mazda and see how deep you can go. You doing great job but let see more of the Diagnostic s part next time. It helps us learn . What's going on with the scoping? Waiting for the next video

[@ggariepy]

@@ACHAutomotive It is bidirectional with AlfaOBD. That is how it can perform the tests.

[@ronie1337]

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. 3. Do NOT drop the screw. You'll never find it again

[@ACHAutomotive]

Yep I can confirm I did drop a screw and years later, I have yet to find it. Haha

[@kyleslamans2492]

I have a 16 75th anniversary and I’m only getting heat when I turn it on HI…assuming I need to replace all of those sensors? Can you post a link to the skimadics showing where all of the sensors are located?

[@ACHAutomotive]

Hi Kyle - I purchased the factory schematics from techauthority.com. I've also had good luck with alldatadiy.com for some of my other vehicles.

[@tdhmoose]

Hello, I have a 2011 Grand Cherokee. Is it possible to remove the center radio console to better access, replace my blend door actuator, as opposed to removing the passenger glove compartment. I was trying to find an easier way.

[@brentmacdonald1208]

Passenger glove box is easiest

[@myname2263]

Ok so we know 2 sensors are behind the screen. But you claim there is 4 sensors. Where are the other 2 ?

[@backontheyak]

I have a few questions for ya. How could i get in contact with you? I dont have the social media stuff. Im an email type guy. I would love to see more 2015 jeep cherokee videos. As i said i have a 2015 latitude with 78k on it so its time for belt change, spark plug change and looking to change the headlight to led bulbs. Would you happen to know a great company that you can change your halogen bulbs to led with the anti-flicker that wont break the bank?

[@ACHAutomotive]

You can shoot me an email at: [e-mail], I'm not always good about email haha - I've got more videos planned for the Jeep, it needs a belt and one of my CV boots has a tear in it, so those will be on the docket at some point. I'm not sure on the bulbs. I can tell you I've used bulbs in my 2017 Ram from LasFit - www.lasfit.com/ and they've been great. Full disclosure, they did send me a pair to test. I've got them in my reverse lights in my Ram and they light up wicked bright. I have a long dark driveway so I needed more light.

[@linettewells]

@@ACHAutomotive I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and cold air is coming from the passenger side but my side has heat how can I fix this or what may be the issue?

[@ishusingh1412]

Hi ACH, I have Jeep grand cherokee 2014 model. I cannot set the temperature of AC with Uconnect as well as with temperature control buttons(red/green ). AC work well(cooled) when I set it on lowest temperature. But as soon as I try to increase the temperatue with 1 degree, it started heating. Any suggestion/idea what is wrong with it?

[@ACHAutomotive]

Sounds (maybe) like the blend doors are either opening/closing and not staying in position based on what you're calling for (heat/cool) - without seeing it, I am not sure. Just shooting in the dark on that.

[@michaelbowley5065]

Which site are you using for the diagrams

[@ACHAutomotive]

I bought the factory OEM manuals for my Jeep through Tech Authority. I believe it was $200 several years ago. That being said, I also use AllData DIY. It's pretty cheap.

[@coreychillis9754]

I have the Same problem on my 2014 jeep Grand Cherokee limited I changed the actuator twice and it still the same problem on the Driver side so could this be the Key to my problem?!! It still plowing warm but cold air out the Driver side vents🥶

[@ACHAutomotive]

Very possible. It took me a bit of diag work to figure this out.

[@AngelDiaz-cs8ew]

Does this work for the feet heat left also or just the dash left ?

[@AngelDiaz-cs8ew]

Ok so it does seem to work for both top and bottom heat on passenger side. But the Amazon sensor is double the price of the oem part on mopar parts! 68396055AA is the part number and it’s 12$!

[@dl2234]

I'm having the same issue. Finally took mine to the dealership and they said it was the air duct sensor. Mine blows cold on drivers side. Is the left sensor behind the radio as well? They told me it would take most of the day and will have to take part of the dash out. I can't find any other videos on this.

[@alanfarrey2646]

My 2015 Jeep Cherokee would blow cold air on drivers side. I followed this video and found two sensors behind the radio. I painstakingly removed the left sensor. I unplugged the wire to the sensor and used a mini needle nose vice grips. Tighten the vice grips as tight as possible on the sidewall of the sensor. Then grab the end of the needle nose handle with a channellock pliers. Ripped it out with a big pull. It will come out. Putting the new one in is just a simple push. Have fun!

[@chrisjohnson9041]

Have this same problem, no heat on Passenger side vents and heat on drive side working. Seen this video and ordered the part thought it would be easy. Got Does sensor in the mail and took dash board apart to not see anything back there like I see in the video. Looking around for for something that looks like this sensor and not finding anything back there. I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude. The sensor shows it works for 2014-2018. Anyone know how I can fix this heating problem?

[@ACHAutomotive]

Did you verify blend doors are actuating?

[@lizwhitman3675]

I am having the same issue for my 2014 cherokee. Took the dash all apart just like in the video but no sensor there…

[@lizwhitman3675]

@@ACHAutomotive how can you verify this?

[@claudiosoto2913]

Is the driver's side sensor same as the passenger side?

[@ACHAutomotive]

I believe all 4 are the same from what I remember.

[@howardtheduck780]

How do you get hot air immediately after a car has been sitting?

[@ACHAutomotive]

You don't. I'd have to go back and watch my video, but it is likely I had the Jeep running prior or I edited in another clip showing the repair.

[@Jesse-sk1xn]

Whats the sensor called plz?? I have the exact same problem

[@ACHAutomotive]

It is a resistor and the part # is in the comment section. Can reference that, was like $25 on Amazon back when I ordered it, but this was a few years ago.

[@Jesse-sk1xn]
