Your video was extremely on point! The control arm on the passenger side of my Grand Cherokee was broken,(already had the parts). I had a new one installed/reset in 15 minutes. Your video saved me an expensive bill at the dealership!
One of the unknow quantities here, is if your actuator is not the cause of the problem, this may not be your solution. It's good to have a scanner of some sort, you may find some hidden codes that don't trigger a mil light, like the blend door actuator circuit open, or something similar. You could have a bad ground, short to ground somewhere, broken wire, etc. I highly recommend checking into it before going through all the effort of changing the part.
Maybe so. I wasn't aware that blend door issues would throw a code. Either way, it's not too difficult to remove the glove box and listen for or feel if the actuator is operating.
I think the supplied drill bit is a hair too small. It was so tight screwing in, it broke the new repair actuator. I even ran the bit through the hole a few times to make sure the hole was clean.
@@fuyo1563 unfortunately no, i drilled hole on the side of the airbox and tried to life the divider manual with a screwdriver but that didn't work, let me know if you figure it out i live in Alasks i really don't need it on cold not even in the summer
If you have the control knobs like mine, I would expect the same blend door motors. If you're having trouble with the passenger side temperature, that motor should be on the glove compartment side.
It might help. But, I would guess the blend door is not your issue. When mine was broken, it was stuck on full cold. Gravity pulls the door to the extreme cold position. If yours is broke like mine was, then you should have no problems with cooling. If however, there's something wrong with the calibration of the blend door motor, then it might not be moving the door all the way to the closed position. You may need to do some googling on blend door calibration and see if that helps. But, my guess is you're low on freon... which means it's leaking somewhere.
@@aviator978someone else have this video but his blender actuator knob just slides right off and could be easily replaced w a new knob no drill bits needed 🤔 I ordered this part today from Amazon $9 but I’m checking my 07 jgc laredo tom first thing in the morning if exactly what kind I have or which is broken I hope mine is the easy knob that slides right off 🤞🏽im praying 🙏🏽🫣 I have a single heat zone n it was clicking forever but now clicking is gone and heat adjustments all went away as well
What do you mean? Did the shaft for the blend door break? Are you able to open and close the blend door manually? Or is the shaft broken so bad that the blend door is stuck down (by gravity)?
What about the flapper that controls the air flow. My jeep 08 liberty doesn't blow air out the front vents. I hit a bump one day and since, no air flow to the vents. The floor and defrost work fine. I have tried manually moving the part you are working on that controls the flapper, it still won't open the front air vents. (Actuators are good and function) I think the flapper might be stuck possibly, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get to it to check it. Any help would be appreciated.
This video is specifically for the flapper that regulates temperature. There's another actuator and flapper that controls which vent the air goes through. I'm not sure where to find it on the liberty though. Sorry.
Probably. Until you get it apart, it's hard to say what's causing the problem. It could be the blend motor is broken. That's an easier fix. Can you hear the blend motor operating when you adjust the passenger temperature? If so, then the gear is probably broken, just like mine.

Great video, simple, fast, to the point...

Same thing happened to my 05 when i tried drilling the white piece it went inside 😢 i really need it to be on hot
Same happening to me.Did you find a way to fix it ?

Hi Mike u think my 07 jgc laredo blend door knob will be similar to yours on glove comp side?

@@aviator978cool I’ll be checking on that later today I’ll give u an update ty for the reply sir 👍🏽
Maybe I missed it but where did you get the replacement part from?

My 05 gjc doesnt leak any water into the cabin, but would this method help my AC blow colder? It is ok at the moment nut not great.
It might help. But, I would guess the blend door is not your issue. When mine was broken, it was stuck on full cold. Gravity pulls the door to the extreme cold position.

@@aviator978 it's not Freon, it's r134a refridgerent
@@wkjeeping9053 r134a is a type of freon.
is this just for hot air on the passenger side or both heat and ac?
Both. If for some reason your blend door won’t move, it’ll either be stuck on cold or stuck on hot.

What do I do if the entire inside broke though?

Have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2008 Hemi. Passenger side heat not working. This will cure it?
