No Heat in Jeep Wrangler TJ No hot air How to troubleshoot and install Heater Air Door Actuator

[@moniquedawson513]

I'm a 55yr old woman who loves to wrench on my Jeep.. I have a 2000 TJ and I had the same problem, It took me 15mins to fix it, thanks to your video!! Thank you so much!!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Glad it helped Thanks for watching

[@Blurry_Sasquatch]

I stuck the white air door screw in the hole and turned it to hot manually! I now have heat until the part arrives! A million thank you's!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Glad I could help Thanks for Watching

[@germaned.lealnino631]

Thank you so much! My children and I thank you. Also, I am writing from Canada. It's cold up here, man. 😊

[@allenhuff9205]

Thanks for this friend! I looked all over YT before I finally found this.

[@DanielParodi-hs6wr]

Thank you for this video. It saved me at least three hours (disassembling the dash) to replace a heater core that didn't need to be replaced. Only to find out that it was this part.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

You’re welcome

[@gboy2513]

Worked for me! Thanks. Just FYI before you replace this part. Look to see if it moves prior to taking it off or buying a new one. Saves time and effort.

[@kdwwms77573]

I just did this today and now I have hot heater. Thanks my friend.

[@shalacy6899]

Thank you so much for for making this video!!! You have no idea how much you saved me. I'm homeless living in my Jeep Wrangler trying to work a double save money I just don't make enough to really save. Most of my money usually goes to gas cause I have to run the Jeep all night to stay warm.. it was my lifeline.. so now it started blowing cold air. And if I don't fix it I'm screwed cause it gets down to below 0° sometimes. Anyway thank you for making this.

[@YouTubeUserToo]

My TJ’s heat started blowing cold suddenly, so I figured it was something electrical, as opposed to heater core clogs, etc. I reseated the electrical plug/connector for that gadget tonight and all is well now. Thanks for sharing!

[@2DE808]

My daughter's jeep quit blowing heat suddenly one day. I am going to check this out. Thanks!

[@nbrock319]

This is exactly what was wrong with mine also. Thank you!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Glad it helped

[@bikinibreakers7995]

Great video! Thank you. I haven't tried the fix yet, but my problem is just like yours and I'm confident that this will be the solution.

[@CarmindyOnline]

I think this exactly what I need to do!! 2001 Jeep Cherokee sport here, same issues as you.

[@jayh1947]

You are lucky with the placement of the actuator. Try it on a mid 2000's Taurus or Sable. Remove the glove box, remove part of the console etc. etc. Fun job. Thanks for all your videos..............Jay

[@jackschneider2380]

Great video! You saved me a big headache! I'm off to O'Reilly's!

[@vinces.2862]

Great Vid. Thanks so much. I'll check mine to see if that is my problem. If not I'll just flush my heater core.

[@critter777]

I think this is my issue? I'm gonna check after work. Either way, thanks for this video. Perfect.

[@SteelyPaw]

YOU R THE MAN a Jeep owner LOL.. Good fix job too. I have a 1997 XJ Cherokee Sport HD 4.0 4 speed auto. I love my Jeep! Right now I have to charge my AC once a year and my defrosters don't work, but other than that everything else works. I only have 86,000 miles on it and it's cheery. Sits up on Reading Springs and double leafs in the back because I plow and tow with it, can pull 5, 800 easily as it's geared lower then the standard duty, has oil coolers on the tranny and motor. I have to get on youtube to see how to fix the defrost, but I think in my case it's not wired correctly. My center dash looks just like yours, same radio and all. Any one have cassettes , LOL?

[@joemesadiver]

Great video, Before you do all that you can feel if its working before you replace it. easy change out but It seems like the TJs can get clogged in the heater core. I changed mine like you did but still no hot air only warm.

[@isidrorodas7167]

I have. Same problem on my TJ 97 , thanks 🙏.

[@Aaron-wf9yt]

Thanks man ! Huge help for my 97 tj

[@travelinben1966]

Thank you.This seems to be a common problem with these.

[@metalhead4x448]

My 97 TJ is luke warm at best, mine doesn't have a dial, its the slide lever and it does open the door. I may try back flushing the heater core.

[@jasonwadsworth9609]

Warlock Gaming any luck with getting yours fixed? Mine has the same problem

[@MsSleepyO]

My heat worked a bit too well in my TJ until it didn't lol

[@galliakhaskey1162]

Thank you! That was an excellent video!

[@alanwhiteside410]

I wonder if this is the same for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as it has the same problem the other knobs work fine. Looks to be very easy.

[@jonathanchappell1483]

Thank you I've been trying to figure this out for months. Now my wife and daughter don't have to freeze to death haha

[@mi678tv]

This video was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the information!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Glad it helped Thanks for watching

[@russellthompson4287]

It seems that I have the same issue but I can see the actuator turning its blows hard cold air but barely feel warm air and it’s low even when it’s set to blow high. But this video was a good information tool. Any other ideas on my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a Blessed Day.

[@sziltner]

Good job on that instructional video. 👍

[@MsSleepyO]

I don't have heat in my 1999 TJ, blower works, no heat and no AC. Figured I'd tackle the no heat issue since it's fall. Less concerned with the AC.

[@TexasElectrician77]

Thanks for the pointers!

[@CarmindyOnline]

Just here to comment again.. I tried using the link you provided but it looks like this part is no longer being sold and I was suggested to use this one instead: part # DA1018 at O-Reilly's. It's "Murray climate control 4 terminator air door actuator." It looks the exact same. $45.99

[@shannonclarke694]

Have a 99 the heater actuator works open and close s all the way but still no hot air warm sometimes but not hot especially if cold out side

[@JeffConto]

Excellent video, thanks so much

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@smokingjoe9864]

The library has a special computer for shop manuals. The same as the dealers use.

[@skittle80]

Did you ever have heat? My heat starts to get cold starting on the driver side if that makes sense. I got a lot of heater core flushes and it solves the problem for a short period of time.

[@Justin-lh3rj]

Don't mix coolents just green violent

[@Justin-lh3rj]

And distealed water

[@platesman134]

I have same problem on my yj of 1991. Heat doesn't work + no ac. What would be the problem. The blowers works

[@drewmiller8234]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to turn it manually to get heat in the mean time until it can be fixed properly ?

[@mikeholtz1836]

Yes it can be turned manually to full "hot". The door should turn easily with your fingers with that actuator removed. My problem is that door/gate is not moving easily (by hand).

[@a.ca.c9809]

Hey great video .how about if it is not blowing air also? Any ideas

[@rickmanuel8391]

OMG, i need a drink after watching..... informative video though bro

[@universalpenman]

Awesome Video Dan exactly what I needed.

[@motohaus1]

If my acuator is moving should I assume it's working properly? I'm getting barely luke warm heat in my 2001. I'll try the flush heater core next....

[@ronnieholloway9109]

Thanks man I’ve got to replace mine in the morning

[@victordiprampero1652]

Thank you so much! Mine was stuck on hot.

[@evincent38]

Great video!!! Thank you.

[@jamesschwamberger7958]

Thank you so much.

[@thelordscity]

Did the cold air work and the heat did not work, or both were not working? Thank you!

[@amandadasilva675]

My blower doesn’t work & my fans are actually falling apart too 😫 i can get some heat but it’s really low and happens mainly when i am driving so the minimal heat is coming from the engine. How can i fix the blower ? & can i get A/C for this type of car? My dad said this car doesn’t come with any. It’s not manufactured w A/C

[@beccadobe]

Thank you!

[@timothycox1995]

Thanks for the detail!

[@boysplaysports]

i have a 2008 4dr jeep wrangler sahara. i have had no heat on driver side for a cpl yrs. it is slowly happening on passenger side. i was first told a door that allows heat in & out had melted and that it was common with jeeps and it would cost too much to fix. it was -40degrees in canada today - i desperately need heat. do you think it could be fixed also?

[@rabzn5378]

I have the opposite way. I have 2012 Jeep grand Cherokee blowing hot air and only hit air nothing else, even though if you lower the temperature down to 14 degrees still blowing a hot air. Any help please much appreciated.

[@joerobinson7141]

Great video, thanks for posting!!!

[@Lidond]

How do i change the orientation of the new one if its in the middle

[@scottkinderdine3317]

What happens if the wires are cut that control the control slide to be either hot or cold? How do you fix it?

[@claystone7729]

Thank you

[@alphagrendel]

This saves me a ton of time!!!! Thank you!!! Do you have a patreon or paypal where I could throw you a couple bucks?

[@SuperTruckerdan]

I'm glad it helped Thanks for Watching

[@southwest7977]

JK’s have the same issue but harder to get to.

[@troyadamsjr5740]

Does you heat work on you peterbilt?

[@scottfree3089]

How much was the part? An after you installed the part once you turned from cold to hot did it make a sound you were able to hear when it switched?

[@Raxus65]

First thing that came to my mind was thermostat Dan

[@universalpenman]

I was looking for this kind of vid, because I akready changed the thermostat and still the same problem, I hope as soon as I change the vent motor I get hot air bowl

[@MrHubbmuscle]

TY so much!!!!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Glad it helped Thanks for watching

[@noearias2006]

Excelente video. Thank you

[@Cryptonymicus]

What? They put heaters in Jeeps? When did that happen?

[@a.ca.c9809]

How much was the part?

[@d-wadetransportation7526]

Nice Pete!

[@allanperdomo5767]

thank you for the video!!

[@im4our312]

Also check out your thermostat spring tension, they do get weak . If you have been on the road for a long time you should be chasing the wife around the kitchen you goof ball. Good video though.

[@Greenlife902]
