Broken Jeep heater and unhappy wife!
I received this from a friend, but I've never owned a Jeep Cherokee (I own a
CJ and YJ, My Cherokee is a Piper). Anyone know how to fix this?
Hi all,
My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee has developed a "glitch" and I need advice! The
passenger dash vents and floor vents are all blowing air but it is COLD even
when the switches are set for hot. (It blows hot on the driver's side.) OF
course, it is out of warranty and the estimate is 1,200 to go into the dash
and replace a "flapper". That's a LOT of avgas... And user fees! ;) The
question is does anyone know how difficult it is to go in, extricate the
part and swap it or fix it myself? If anyone happens to know of a website
with "how-to remove the dash", that would be a help. OR, should I just let
the dealer do it?
Thanks in advance,
Ralph
PS To give you an idea of what I can take on, I recently, skinned the
passenger seat, found a broken wire in the seat heater and soldered it back.
Even managed to reassemble the seat and put it back in the Jeep! :)

Maybe he will feel better if you call it a "blend door" instead of a
"flapper". ;^)

Re: Broken Jeep heater and unhappy wife!
It appears he has a Limited or Overland with its failure prone Automatic
Zone Controls.
If he is handy mechanically the parts to fix everything run about $350. The
expensive part is labor as you have to remove the entire dash. Quite often
it is recommended to replace the heater core and AC coils while you are in
there.
If everything is being replaced then $1200 is a fair price.
