I'm not sure if your issue is the same as mine, but I had a '99 WJ Laredo
that stopped pumping air all together. It turns out that the fresh air/
recirculated air door broke and fell on to the opening to the fan/blower
unit. I was lucky in that I was able just remove the glove bin, drop the
blower motor, and then put in a coathanger to prop up the door in the fresh
air position. Otherwise, the DC service manual said to remove the dash,
drain the AC gas, drain the coolant, disconect the AC and coolant lines
going to the HVAC system, remove the unit and open it up on a bench.

Yes, it is a 2004 not '94 (that's ok it happens to the best of us).

Herb: the fix that I saw on ebay is called "HeaterTreater blend door AC
heater FIX".

http://www.tiny.cc/0UlOn


If this link does not work, go to ebay and do a search for jeep blend door.

I am wondering if anyone has used it and, if it was as easy as they say
it is to do the repair and if it really does the job.
