@@kevinp2820 nothing just yet sir…I haven’t reached out to John Carrillo yet…back home from end of year trip and back to work the next day. Left out from home and back to the oilfield. Make another 💴 for the next adventure. But I will find out for sure.
I have a JK Sport. This video is helpful even though a Sahara is different than a Sport, but anything I can learn about any Jeep JK is something well learned! Thanks for the video...
Your VERY welcome. We learn something new everyday. I try and pass as much of that along as we can. Thank you for the kind words….We appreciate you watching.
Thanks for the video! Helped me take apart the dash, previous owner or someone who had worked on it put the plug for my hazard lights and traction control in the wrong socket and your video helped a lot as far as where they all connect
Those modules do have a fairly high failure rate. I've replaced about a half a dozen over the years and just had to replace the one in my 2011 about 2 years ago. Nice job on documenting the replacement procedure. Mike
To be truthful…..I have never looked to see if you can access it from there….or if there is additional items/bracing in the way….I have only ever accessed it from under steering column as it is right there once the HVAC duct is removed….would be curious to see if that would work.
Does this fix the … drivers side heat is not as hot and passenger side is hotter … my recirc and other actuators are constantly moving with the car off ..? My only complaint is the driver side heat is like 30 degrees cooler than the pass side heat
I just stumbled across this video and I have a jk doing the same issue. However it could be 10-30minutes before the fan kicks on. Blower motor, resistor, and control module have been replaced. Same problem still
Any answers yet? Im getting ready to replace my HVAC control module after changing the resistor and the blower motor in my 2012. Dread it not working and winter is knocking on the door.
@@leetsy5948 the issue I had was a problem with the resistor. Custom had replaced it but it was a cheap after market part. I swapped it with an oem resister and ac worked as it should. If you do replace resistor I recommend oem. Wranglers are very very picky with cheap aftermarket parts.
Changed the module on my 2014 and the light still flashes, fan doesn't come on and i can hear the blend door moving around until the fan comes on. No change with the new module. Any ideas? Thanks!
Thank you for this. My 2015 JK Sahara without auto climate control only has full cold or full heat. All other positions on the middle knob make no response to the blend actuator. Only when turned fully cold or fully hot will the blend actuator move. Have replaced the blend actuator with a genuine Mopar and it made no difference. I'm assuming the HVAC module will be the next step, but it's pricey and I was hoping someone with a similar issue could tell what fixed theirs.
@@keftel ok…..here’s the truth on that subject….I have NO clue !!!….LOL….I have never read or heard otherwise about anyone doing that. I guess if the flash program was available….maybe….but then I’m not sure how you would even access it…..maybe through J-Scan somehow….
@@ALongLongWaytoGO ha ..thanks .. so I used to have a similar issue with an old Rover .. memory would get jammed up and my mechanic at the time had a way of “erasing the memory” . It would often take up to a minute for AC to start blowing .. The way I remember him explaining was that there were too many functions it had to perform to get to the AC… meaning it had a lot of stored codes that had to be cleared. After he cleared then he the AC would come on quickly. Made sense at the time . Plus it worked .
@@keftel Awesome…..I wish we could figure that out !!!…..Soooo many of these Wranglers all have the same issue….Kind of like….Chrysler / FIAT knows they have a problem.
So far my JKU has lost the blower, recirc actuator, heater core and now the control module. Fun stuff from a quality product! And it's only 10 years old with 100K miles. Good fast write up. Only addition to viewers...put the shifter in 1st gear and get it out of the way to help with getting connectors off of HVAC control.
That may be your actual blend door actuator….it is what switches between heat and cool and everything in between….It is the one located just to the right of steering column under dash.
@@blatham59 Hmmmm……I just had a retraction of my own thought….like you said..its not that it doesn’t have heat…just full blown DEATH Valley hot….or no hot. So we know the actuator is moving, just whatever signal it is receiving is either full hot or full cool.. so now I may be back to what is sending the command….HVAC module….but that’s not a guarantee……this isn’t much help to you….LOL…Sorry
My 2015 Sahara is the same, actuator only reacts when the dial is full cold or full heat, I have no in between. Blend actuator is good, I even replaced it with a genuine Mopar actuator and other than operating quieter it made no difference. Did you find a fix?
@@rlippincott-zl6qp I have heard this happening alot. All troubleshooting and diagnostic checks leads to faulty module but when replaced, same issues. If it’s checked again….all checks still lead to module being bad. Haven’t really had anyone explain a clear explanation of how to fix. Mixed opinions of “ oh it’s an actuator “….but none are bad…..Would be great if someone could actually come up with the issue.
2013…I think I got it from Morris 4x4….I had to search the PN# quite a bit…so many updates for PN#….They did have to send me two different ones…first was wrong…Mine has heated mirrors…automatic climate control…and the temp numbers around dial….they sent one that just had blue to red scale around dial. It was for a later model that did not have automatic climate control.
I have a 2012 with the red/ blue dial, I also have heated mirrors that havent worked (I bought mine used) is it possible I dont have the correct module?
Any ideas the AC worked on the way home and was on in the off position, turned it off now nothing works or lights up any ideas it’s been drying out for 4/5 days already
I am definitely no expert on these things for sure……but I know this module controls everything for the HVAC system. If there’s any moisture or water in there….I’m sure crazy things could happen. Where are you located? We were at Surfside Beach TX event.
This guy really knows how to make a video. All of the important info and well edited and to the point.
Thank you sir. I appreciate it….My editing is definitely not on with the Big Dogs progressional stuff ya know !!!! LOL
Very good video, thank you from Michigan
@@boblefebvre3383 Than you for watching. Have Michigan on the bucket list of must visit. Heard it’s beautiful up there.
Come on, there's no way this was so easy. Lol. Great tutorial . I'm always learning stuff watching your videos. Keep'em comin'!

What did you find out on the hydro hot cap?

That did seem way too easy… lol. Glad you finally got it fixed bc texas heat is no joke 🥵 also Riley is the bestest helper
For once…..an easy job. Couldn’t ask for a more involved inspector. LOL
Jeep - a lot to look forward to thank goodness for UTube to learn how to fix everything that goes wrong
LOL…..for sure. Without our UA-cam Certified Mechanic Patch we would die !!!!!

Thank you sir !!!
Helpful videos i replaced the module and the actuator just warching your videos thank you.
Thank you for watching. Means the world to us !!!
Excellent video!
Thank you….My videography is definitely not on with the professionals…. Just try for plain and simple as possible.
would it be easier to go thru that way to get to the blend door actuator behind that??

But I’ve also seen if your hvac control unit blinks then it’s indicating a internal fault
@@CobHes I've replaced the resistor twice, both times the blower started working, but within 24 hrs stopped again
Great video

What year is your jeep .. my jeep is exactly the same as yours but 2014 and I can't find that part

Mine has no lights and want do anything could this be my issue
THANKS
I went to topless 2023 got rained on (drenched) no top cleaned jeep rinsed it all out now module won’t do anything
Any ideas the AC worked on the way home and was on in the off position, turned it off now nothing works or lights up any ideas it’s been drying out for 4/5 days already

Another way to get at the click click Actuator
The “Dashboard Gremlin” as it has been called to us by another viewer!!!! I give all the credit for that term to a 10yo who heard it!!!
They closed and took my money and i never got my module waited 4 months
Sounds about right nowadays!!!!
