thank you for this, I am a pro mechanic but had never done one before, you saved me a lot of time and it is working great

Thanks for sharing this, it was a lifesaver! Especially since the dealership wanted over $400 to replace it. Took me less than an hour thanks to your video.

Perfect mix of on-target information and visuals, without a lot of needless blather and self-promotion. Heater is now working - thanks!

EXACTLY!

(2014 Jeep Wrangler JK) I actually just fixed it w/out having to take anything apart...The plastic arm was just jammed in the spline shaft. I laid my head underneath, awkwardly, and shined a flashlight on the white arm and pushed on it till it moved. I turned the Jeep on and switched from cold to hot and it worked on its own. 😊 Thanks for the video!

2014 Wrangler JK, no heat. Moved the plastic arm up the spline shaft. Heat is working. Of course, I had it mostly torn apart before I realized I could see the actuator arm from underneath the dash. Very awkward node positioning, but know I know that is indeed a quick fix. Thank you for the video and this comment! 🤙

Thank you for this comment! You’re a lifesaver. This comment and video combination are top tier!

THANK YOU!!!!!! My heater quit working about 2 weeks ago and we’ve had the coldest winter that I can remember in FL, I flushed the heater core over the weekend still no heat, very frustrating. Came across your video and thought I’d try it, looks simple enough. Fixed my heat!!!

God sent god sent ! You are a blessing. O’Reilys had door actuator for $25 and my oldest son (13) put it in. I held the flash light and screws 🔧. I went 1.5 years shivering before seeing the right video and working on the JKU to fix the problem. Thanks again. Lessons learned.sooo glad the $tealership didn’t get my 💵 fixing this part!

The quick fix was exactly what I needed. Been driving in 25 degrees. What a treat to have heat again! Lol

Thank you for being quick and to the point and not just talking to hear yourself talk like a lot of the KZreadrs You definitely helped me with my problem thank you have a great day

Wow, thank you!! Great freaking video!! I’m in the process of learning more and more about fixing my Jeep Wrangler 2013 JK. I recently had bad clicking in my dash and my steering controls weren’t working on right side. I replaced the actuator but blindly not realizing the air duct was so easy to remove (being novice). Thus creating my AC/heating system to stay in the “heating” position. It’s looking like based off this video I set the arm in the wrong position. Wish I found this video when I first replaced my actuator 🤪 thanks again dude for great audio, video, and explanation 🤘

OMG! Thank you thank you. Concise, no silly music - just the facts. I’m a 75 year old retired Hospice nurse and living on SS. I narrowed down this topic to this NoNonsenseKnowHow. I was going to try myself but son came over and did it! Heat - yay!

Thumbs up and thanks for making this video! This will be helpful for years to come with so many JK Wranglers on the road. The info, camera shots, and pace was perfect for the DIY crowd. Thank you again!

This was exactly my problem and this video was a big help. I saved 2 hours of shop labour (about 300$ these days) Thanks so much.

Fast and to the point, very helpful!

Thanks for this video. I too was able to give the linkage a push and got things working. Love the short and to the point repair videos

2017 Wrangler: No heat. Hot water to heater core. Actuator not working. Took it apart and tested actuator motor and it worked. Put it back together thinking it was some other issue and it worked. Must have been a bad connection. Thanks for the super simple quick instructions. ++++++++++

Oh man!! I just finished replacing my heater core shedding serious blood sweat and tears, and of course I still have no heat! Ughhhhhh!! This is my next endeavor! Thank you so much! I can’t think of what else it could be! I swear I hear my actuator working, but maybe it’s something else! Back to the grind! 😂 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Great video. One helpful tip: i believe in most JK's that airduct is actually split lenghwise ("two halves"), so if you press on the sides it will pop open and then it is very easy to remove and reinstall WITHOUT having to unbolt that module in the back. Will save you some extra tinkering and bolt dropping ;)

Great video - the actuator had died on my 2014 JKU. I followed your steps and now I have heat! Awesome … thank you very much for the tips 😉

Instructions are so precise that I automatically subscribed to your channel! Short and sweet, just like it needs to be.

Awesome vid Bro. Completely thorough yet shorter than many other vids that only cover half of the info ... Thanks! Getting the lower duct off was my issue. You covered that!

Thank you for this information. My mechanic's est. for the blend door actuator is $157 + labor $155. I appreciate you.

That was the best video ive seen ,you did the fast version,i just needed to see what i will be needing to take off, already did the one behind glove box , 2013 jku ,thanks from huntsville alabama

Great video !!!! I had to replace my actuator today and your video helped me out. Thank you.

Thanks! My jeep just went out of heat but my service appt in 2 weeks away but we just got snow in Denver! Your video showed that the replacement is cheaper than my warranties deductible so I’ll do it myself! Thanks so much EDIT: wasn’t my issue. The engine hoses were hot and the dial of heater was communicating with the actuator. I saw the actuator move as it should as I turned the dial. SMH

Awesome video. Thorough and quick, no nonsense or dumb music, great camera work and lighting. My wife lost heat in her '14 JKU just today, so tmrw I'll be looking into this. Thanks very much!

Very helpful today. Turns out my actuator was only "stuck" once I shoved it manually it went back to correct operation (no replacement required...yet!) Thanks for showing exactly what to look for.

Great video; however my air duct's removal was the most difficult part of the job. I highly recommend splitting the air duct prior to attempting to removing, it made it much easier. The same can be said as to the reinstallment of the air duct, install the part that clips to the vehilce first, followed by the end that snaps to the air duct.

After flushing the heater core, changing the thermostat, it was that part. Thank you!!

Thank u...u just saved my day my heat wasn't working..I just lifted the liver up

Thank you for this great video.

Excellent. Exactly what I needed to know!

In my case (2011 JK), the pivoting arm was just jammed in the cold position. Without taking anything apart and laying on my back in the footwell, I took a look upwards directly above the gas pedal area and with a flashlight had a pretty clear view of the mechanism. With the key on I rotated the dial and nothing was moving. I used a piece of wood dowel to poke and prod the part around a bit, heard a click sound, and it came back to life. I sprayed some white lithium grease on it and it seems good to go. I'm still going to buy a new part though and replace it in the very near future. Thanks for the video!

Yes from the $tealership

I'm having the same problem (not blowing warm) and am doing the research to help me troubleshoot it. I have read that if you've narrowed it down to a dead blend door actuator, no movement out of the arm, etc, before you go to the trouble of removing and replacing the actuator, try unplugging the actuator, plug it back in, and see if the actuator now moves. Some people have reported this "reboot" got their actuator functioning again. It may or may not work for you, but it's worth a quick try before replacing it.

Great video! I've got the opposite issue, heat stays on, I'll give this a try!

Thanks for the video. Followed it step by step. Once I took the front bracket off after the panel, I was able to see the actuator. It did not turn when I moved the dial. With a couple pokes at it with a screw driver, it began to move. Saved me some $$$. Thanks again.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY FANTASTIC 💯 VIDEO !! been working on cars , bikes really everything for about 40 years so i went straight to the thermostat , figured it was common and cheap but after quickly swapping it i still had no heat . I then search KZread and after a few found yours , immediately checked it and that was it so I replaced it then can't straight back to you hit subscribe & like !!! To the point no thrills & fills and I like it that way so THANK YOU !! will definitely keep supporting you bud !!

Hey bro! Thanks. Went really smooth. Mine didn’t even need replacing, the plug was just disconnected. However I have a problem now. Check engine went on. What did I mess up? Lol

Back in February, I took my 2014 Jeep, same as in the video, to get the heater fixed, he charged me $126 for the actuator, and $95 to replace it. I figured I was being overcharged, but, if it works, I'll take the hit since I have very little mechanical experience. In other words, like most people, I'm at their mercy. When I picked up my Jeep, I turned on the heater and hot air blew out. So I paid and off I went. I live in Southern California so I haven't had much need for the heater. Fast forward to November, I turn on the heater, and no hot air. I did like the video says and checked the hoses while running, and they were warm, so it's the actuator that I paid over $200 to replace. I'm pissed off. I'm going in tomorrow to see if the guy will correct his shoddy work. today, when I get home, I'm going to look inside by removing the plate and see if I can check on the little door lever and see if it's stuck. Thank you for the video.

This was a great video, but I would recommend you tell folks to remove the bracket that is next to the floor vent and held on by two 8 mm bolts, this provides enough room to actually get your hands in there. ALSO, I would strongly recommend you tell folks to REMOVE the driver's seat (a pretty simple task) to allow room to work. I notice in your video there are two bolts laying on the floorboard that appear to match the front seat retaining bolts. BTW the floor vent was really hard to pull out.. :)
