Jeep NO HEAT Fast Pinpoint / Fix Wrangler JK Temperature Blend door actuator

*Door Actuator: amzn.to/2CzvrL7
*Milwaukee M12 Rachet: amzn.to/2Silnwk
Quick overview of how to diagnose why your Jeep Wrangler JK has NO HEAT. This is in a 2014 model and it ends up being a faulty temperature blend door actuator which is a very common failure on these. If your engine is not getting up to operating temp or one/both of the heater core hoses are cold this video wont help you. `

Thanks for sharing this, it was a lifesaver! Especially since the dealership wanted over $400 to replace it. Took me less than an hour thanks to your video.

[@borismartin6276]

Great video. One helpful tip: i believe in most JK's that airduct is actually split lenghwise ("two halves"), so if you press on the sides it will pop open and then it is very easy to remove and reinstall WITHOUT having to unbolt that module in the back. Will save you some extra tinkering and bolt dropping ;)

[@daveeslinger1265]

Perfect mix of on-target information and visuals, without a lot of needless blather and self-promotion. Heater is now working - thanks!

@@NoNonsenseKnowHowthanks for the quick fix.

[@lylekliewer4787]

Yeah, that little doo dad that you weren't sure of, (at about 2:40) is the control unit for the automatic transmission, or TCM. It has 2 connectors that run the length of the bottom of the module, both with locking squeeze tabs. They require a firm pull straight down after squeezing the lock tab, to disconnect, and a firm push to reseat. I normally disconnect the negative battery terminal before disconnecting electrical connectors, especially when they connect to a computer, but I failed to do that this time and wound up with a U0101 fault code. I disconnected the battery, and went back in to reseat, and discovered one of the connectors wasn't locked in all the way. I don't know if the code was the result of failure to disconnect the battery, or failure to properly seat the connector, but I suspect the latter. Anyway, I was able to clear the code with my little cube code reader even though it said it couldn't be cleared that way. Thanks for the video, it helped me bypass a dodgy hvac control module so that I could have heat while I await the part to arrive.

[@brentcolicchio7218]

(2014 Jeep Wrangler JK) I actually just fixed it w/out having to take anything apart...The plastic arm was just jammed in the spline shaft. I laid my head underneath, awkwardly, and shined a flashlight on the white arm and pushed on it till it moved. I turned the Jeep on and switched from cold to hot and it worked on its own. 😊 Thanks for the video!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

awesome! and no prob

[@JimmyMoultray]

[@markstevens4883]

Oh, can you do that without taking off the plate? I'm gonna go see.

[@cassandrafullerton3953]

2014 Wrangler JK, no heat. Moved the plastic arm up the spline shaft. Heat is working. Of course, I had it mostly torn apart before I realized I could see the actuator arm from underneath the dash. Very awkward node positioning, but know I know that is indeed a quick fix. Thank you for the video and this comment! 🤙

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY FANTASTIC 💯 VIDEO !! been working on cars , bikes really everything for about 40 years so i went straight to the thermostat , figured it was common and cheap but after quickly swapping it i still had no heat . I then search KZbin and after a few found yours , immediately checked it and that was it so I replaced it then can't straight back to you hit subscribe & like !!! To the point no thrills & fills and I like it that way so THANK YOU !! will definitely keep supporting you bud !!

[@recarox]

Wow, thank you!! Great freaking video!! I’m in the process of learning more and more about fixing my Jeep Wrangler 2013 JK. I recently had bad clicking in my dash and my steering controls weren’t working on right side. I replaced the actuator but blindly not realizing the air duct was so easy to remove (being novice). Thus creating my AC/heating system to stay in the “heating” position. It’s looking like based off this video I set the arm in the wrong position. Wish I found this video when I first replaced my actuator 🤪 thanks again dude for great audio, video, and explanation 🤘

[@Deanwithane]

Quick fix and no more driving with gloves and a hat! woohoo

[@simoneaux15]

THANK YOU!!!!!! My heater quit working about 2 weeks ago and we’ve had the coldest winter that I can remember in FL, I flushed the heater core over the weekend still no heat, very frustrating. Came across your video and thought I’d try it, looks simple enough. Fixed my heat!!!

[@MrJuxone]

This was a great video, but I would recommend you tell folks to remove the bracket that is next to the floor vent and held on by two 8 mm bolts, this provides enough room to actually get your hands in there. ALSO, I would strongly recommend you tell folks to REMOVE the driver's seat (a pretty simple task) to allow room to work. I notice in your video there are two bolts laying on the floorboard that appear to match the front seat retaining bolts. BTW the floor vent was really hard to pull out.. :)

[@deathb4digital]

In my case (2011 JK), the pivoting arm was just jammed in the cold position. Without taking anything apart and laying on my back in the footwell, I took a look upwards directly above the gas pedal area and with a flashlight had a pretty clear view of the mechanism. With the key on I rotated the dial and nothing was moving. I used a piece of wood dowel to poke and prod the part around a bit, heard a click sound, and it came back to life. I sprayed some white lithium grease on it and it seems good to go. I'm still going to buy a new part though and replace it in the very near future. Thanks for the video!

[@coriw8602]

Did you have to remove anything to see and get to it? Thanks 😊

[@theflyingboxcar4804]

Awesome video. Thorough and quick, no nonsense or dumb music, great camera work and lighting. My wife lost heat in her '14 JKU just today, so tmrw I'll be looking into this. Thanks very much!

No problem, glad it was helpful and I appreciate the feedback

[@adamdejesus4017]

Very helpful today. Turns out my actuator was only "stuck" once I shoved it manually it went back to correct operation (no replacement required...yet!) Thanks for showing exactly what to look for.

[@adalbertorodriguez4979]

Great video; however my air duct's removal was the most difficult part of the job. I highly recommend splitting the air duct prior to attempting to removing, it made it much easier. The same can be said as to the reinstallment of the air duct, install the part that clips to the vehilce first, followed by the end that snaps to the air duct.

[@JoeGottschall]

Thank you, I fixed my 2013 Jeep Wrangler by just reaching up and pushing on the actuator arm. It had been on full AC for six months or so and just needed a little nudge.

Looking back, maybe I didn't have to remove the floor air duct? Anybody know?

[@AJRay-db1dr]

You have more room if u do

[@TS-ef2gv]

I'm having the same problem (not blowing warm) and am doing the research to help me troubleshoot it. I have read that if you've narrowed it down to a dead blend door actuator, no movement out of the arm, etc, before you go to the trouble of removing and replacing the actuator, try unplugging the actuator, plug it back in, and see if the actuator now moves. Some people have reported this "reboot" got their actuator functioning again. It may or may not work for you, but it's worth a quick try before replacing it.

[@markstevens4883]

Back in February, I took my 2014 Jeep, same as in the video, to get the heater fixed, he charged me $126 for the actuator, and $95 to replace it. I figured I was being overcharged, but, if it works, I'll take the hit since I have very little mechanical experience. In other words, like most people, I'm at their mercy. When I picked up my Jeep, I turned on the heater and hot air blew out. So I paid and off I went. I live in Southern California so I haven't had much need for the heater. Fast forward to November, I turn on the heater, and no hot air. I did like the video says and checked the hoses while running, and they were warm, so it's the actuator that I paid over $200 to replace. I'm pissed off. I'm going in tomorrow to see if the guy will correct his shoddy work. today, when I get home, I'm going to look inside by removing the plate and see if I can check on the little door lever and see if it's stuck. Thank you for the video.

[@seangsull15]

So? Now I'm intrigued

[@adphotojon]

Oh man!! I just finished replacing my heater core shedding serious blood sweat and tears, and of course I still have no heat! Ughhhhhh!! This is my next endeavor! Thank you so much! I can’t think of what else it could be! I swear I hear my actuator working, but maybe it’s something else! Back to the grind! 😂 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@davidsaucedo4795]

Okay so after doing mine. I figured out these things will always fail over time. When you turn the knob to half way from cold , it’ll be fine but one you turn it back to cold or hot it’ll go spin way beyond the stopping point. The pressure will cause it to stop, but the power is still there.. causing teeth to break and motors. SO DONT SET YOUR TEMPS BACK AND FORTH TOO QUICKLY. It’ll cause it to over spin when it returns.. causing them to damage. My original motor was good. But popped out of the rails.

[@charlesdebaufre2120]

What should I look for if the plastic arm is what's broken? My friend can't change the climate from hot to cold nor vise versa. I was on quadratec for a half hour trying to find that part. It's one of the white plastic arms at 4:03.

My engine bay hoses are nice and hot too. Will this fix in your video work based on my current situation? Thank you again. Is the fix the same with auto climate control? My center temp control knob has numbers on it for degrees and an auto setting. Thank you

[@Jamesballsworth]

Was the rear defrost light on the panel blinking before you diagnosed the problem as the actuator? Mine was blinking and taking about 10-20 seconds before the fan would kick on. Then after a while the heat quit but the fan would still blow. Then the heat came back for a while and left again. I just replaced the control panel and the light is still blinking although I do have heat again... for now. Starting to think it was the actuator all along.

No problem, glad to help out. Definitely start by making sure the engine is getting fully up to operating temperature. If it is then more than likely it's just the blend door

[@craigmitchels272]

In your case. You may need to pull one of the heater hoses and fill them with fluid. If it's not the blend door, it's just air in the line to the heater.

[@witchesbru67]

@@craigmitchels272, well it wasn't the blend door. That was operating correctly. I decided to remove all the coolant and replace it. Also back-flushed the heater core and "burped" the system......that seemed to do the trick. The heating temp went from 120F to 145F....outstanding!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@richgran I'm not sure I understand your question. Yeah it's normal for some coolant to spill out of the temp sensor port

(2013 Jeep Wrangler JK) so the problem was the actuator so this video was very helpful! However when I plug the actuator in the arm spins 360 degrees, is there any way to change that? I haven't screwed on the actuator to the frame because I'm afraid the plastics gears will just strip or burn out.
