I have a 2011 Dodge nitro which is basically the same thing. I have looked through dozens of videos trying to see if someone would identify the door that goes from hot to cold you just did it thank you very much!
6:59 that axle is just for the cold door there is another axle somewhere at 5 o'clock which is the hot door. a single actuator at the opposite side is connected to gears controlling both axles simultaneously. thanks for the video thought, this was the one I watched before I dove deeper into the subject.
Thanks for the video my transition valve from cold to heat was stuck in the cold position but i did not know where it was. Thanks to your video i found it an was able to free it up with a screw driver.
I don’t know if you read comments but I’m stuck, no ac or heat but they blow air I used a garden house to check and see if the heater core was clogged it was not. I’m not sure what the issue is.
Great video! Our AC/Heat is working and adjustable. I can hear the blend doors moving when I switch from dash to defrost. However nothing comes out of the dash vents and I hear a hissing noise from behind the dash. Do you know the location of the vacuum lines? Dash was pulled a few years ago for heater core.
@@jeffmcclenahan7914some of these jeeps don't have a cabin air filter. Mine doesn't. 08 jeep lib trail edition. I have little to no air coming out front vents.
My daughters '11 is having heat issues, very little heat only on farthest right vent the rest is cold including defrosters. I ran thru what you showed and it seems to me that everything is operating as it should as far as actuators. I'm leaning towards bad heater core or broken blender box inside. I will first try a reverse flush on the heater core since I want to replace the coolant anyway. Any other suggestions on diagnosis? AC seems to work good on all vents, so I'm leaning towards broken blender door inside the hvac housing. Any suggestions appreciated.
When engine is up to operating temperature, Feel both heater core hoses located on passenger side coming from the fire wall (under the engine hood of coarse).. if both rubber hoses are hot then your heater core is NOT the issue.
my controls werent working the only place i was getting air was from the defrost no matter what position i set the dial to. I had a school bus mechanic look at it, and he took apart the gears under the Drivers side!!! and now he cant figure out how to put the gears back on and he says the gear sets are stripped!! can you post a picture of what this is supposed to look like under the drivers side.. also what is that box called with all the gears on it. because i think im gonna have to get it replaced along with the mode door which is what i think the original problem was..
Nice job going through the controls. It really helped me troubleshoot the issue with my 2012 Jeep Liberty. My air only comes out of the defroster. Using your guide, I can see that the actuator for the mode control is moving, but the gears on the passenger side aren't turning. It looks like there must something broken between the actuator and gears.
same issue in my 2012. gears and motor working on driver side under dash (by right knee) but the gears inside the white piece @3:56 do not spin. Is there apassenger side motor for that one? I know what the problem is bus don't know what to fix?? @@LILSINO13
My wife's 2011 Liberty has had limited air flow from vents for a long time, limited heat and limited AC, it feels hot and cold. The airflow seems like it never comes off low setting even though the blower is spinning faster by the sound of it.
@@alfenner3309 actually, realized the cabin air filter behind the glove box was super clogged. Remove the air filter and see if it helps, and replace it.
Yo tengo el problema en mi liberty 2012, cuando pongo la calefacción solo sale aire caliente del lado del copiloto y del lado del conductor sale aire frio que podra ser, podran ayudarme por favor ya que se avecinan las nevadas. saludos
Do you know if the drivers side actuators locations for the hot/cold and the control for defrost/front vents/dash? There are two a actuators on drivers side under the dash. One one top and the other is lower on the unit. I have the flapper not allowing air through the front vents. Thanks.
I have a question so my 2008 Jeep Liberty has low air flow except by the floor defrost vent on the passenger side. The air is strong only there. Do you know which component that is specifically?
So If you take apart the plastic gears on the driver's side under the stealing wheel that's most likely your problem I fixed mine but the gears keep coming out of place
OK...So I can see that the actuator is turning...and appears to be turning all the way, but it's clicking like it's sticking. And the air is not getting warm.
What the heck, you might as well replace the AC vent filters while your there ... there'z 2 of them, and their behind that flat plastic piece hanging horizontally, below the honeycomb piece of plastic. Gotta luv Moparts.
Does it quit blowing? Or quit blowing cold air? If it quits blowing cold air but the speed of the fan hasn’t changed, sounds like you have low refrigerant charge.

If you got any info on the hot/cold actuator, that would be amazing!
Really like all the detail in this video. Will definitely help me diagnose my heating issue! Thank you.

Man thank you for sharing.! You just saved me $300 . Thanks again.!

Well this makes my life soooo much easier. Mad props bro....

Could just be the cabin air filter needs to be replaced. Should be located behind glove box.

Where is the actuator for the hot and cold?? Mine is getting stuck
we have a 2011 Liberty limited, getting no heat from floor.. all others work fine... any idea which acuator would need to be replaced?

Thanks nice video. You helped a lot to solve a issue on my Liberty 2012 today.
Hello. What could be a problem with ac ? Liberty 2012 ac blowing only feet and defrost. Not face. Appreciate your answers!🙏
Did you ever figure this issue out? I'm having the same
@@alfenner3309 same here! Any help PLEASE
my controls werent working the only place i was getting air was from the defrost no matter what position i set the dial to.

Ok so I have no floor air. When I put the dial to floor the airflow defaults to defrost. Do I need to access the blend door from the driver side?
Same problem here.

Reid, I have exact same problem. What did you do?
Did you find out the real issue same thing I have on mine
same issue in my 2012. gears and motor working on driver side under dash (by right knee) but the gears inside the white piece @3:56 do not spin. Is there apassenger side motor for that one? I know what the problem is bus don't know what to fix??

How did you fix it? I have currently very low airflow to front vents.
Thanks.
@@alfenner3309 actually, realized the cabin air filter behind the glove box was super clogged. Remove the air filter and see if it helps, and replace it.
@@Rob-wi3ir mine doesn't have one. Some models didn't have it. Not sure where to look for this issue. I have tried everything but tear the dash apart.

How would I replace the vent control gear that is stripped inside the dash? If it’s even possible
Request a new part from the dealer.
Do you know if the drivers side actuators locations for the hot/cold and the control for defrost/front vents/dash? There are two a actuators on drivers side under the dash. One one top and the other is lower on the unit.
I have the flapper not allowing air through the front vents.
Thanks.
lower actuator is for Hot/cold only. The upper controls all the other movements of the blender box and vent direction from what I understand.
I have a question so my 2008 Jeep Liberty has low air flow except by the floor defrost vent on the passenger side. The air is strong only there. Do you know which component that is specifically?
Did you find it?
Same
I have the same problem! I pulled the fan to use the shop vac to see if there was something inside the vent that was blocking air flow. No dice.
So If you take apart the plastic gears on the driver's side under the stealing wheel that's most likely your problem I fixed mine but the gears keep coming out of place
@@nathanielpryor8275 mine move properly, just greatly reduced air flow.
Thank you a million times over
Do you know the part number of the air recirculation fan actuator bro?
OK...So I can see that the actuator is turning...and appears to be turning all the way, but it's clicking like it's sticking. And the air is not getting warm.
Problems with Hot/Cold settings is the BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR. Probably the same part number, but different location.
chewed actuator gear . it's jumping teeth
My blower motor doesn’t shut down even when I turn it off it blows even faster
This is the video that i an looking... my air recirculation fan is not working. And air is stuck in the vent position..
Did y'all find out what it was?
@Kevin Acosta did you go thru the driver side or passenger side??
What did you use to turn them?
@Kevin Acosta thanks!!
Hopefully this is the actuator driving me nuts. Looks like it’s in the same position that clicking sound is coming from…
What the heck, you might as well replace the AC vent filters while your there ... there'z 2 of them, and their behind that flat plastic piece hanging horizontally, below the honeycomb piece of plastic. Gotta luv Moparts.
What about the on under the driver side the one to move temp?
My AC wont stay on. It cuts out every 45secs and cuts back on every 2mins or so. Any ideas?
Does it quit blowing? Or quit blowing cold air? If it quits blowing cold air but the speed of the fan hasn’t changed, sounds like you have low refrigerant charge.
Where do the little metal spring clip things go?
Did you ever find an answer for this ?
If jeep liberty's have this many problems with the heat, they should have had a recall on them to be fixed!!
2012 jeep pattiot latitude click on right side.
2013 i mean! Dealer want to replace full housing! $470 they dont do actuators!
Ridiculous!
