    My TJ’s heat started blowing cold suddenly, so I figured it was something electrical, as opposed to heater core clogs, etc. I reseated the electrical plug/connector for that gadget tonight and all is well now. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you so much for for making this video!!! You have no idea how much you saved me. I'm homeless living in my Jeep Wrangler trying to work a double save money I just don't make enough to really save. Most of my money usually goes to gas cause I have to run the Jeep all night to stay warm.. it was my lifeline.. so now it started blowing cold air. And if I don't fix it I'm screwed cause it gets down to below 0° sometimes. Anyway thank you for making this.

    YOU R THE MAN a Jeep owner LOL.. Good fix job too. I have a 1997 XJ Cherokee Sport HD 4.0 4 speed auto. I love my Jeep! Right now I have to charge my AC once a year and my defrosters don't work, but other than that everything else works. I only have 86,000 miles on it and it's cheery. Sits up on Reading Springs and double leafs in the back because I plow and tow with it, can pull 5, 800 easily as it's geared lower then the standard duty, has oil coolers on the tranny and motor. I have to get on youtube to see how to fix the defrost, but I think in my case it's not wired correctly. My center dash looks just like yours, same radio and all. Any one have cassettes , LOL?

But this video was a good information tool. Any other ideas on my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a Blessed Day.

    Yes it can be turned manually to full "hot". The door should turn easily with your fingers with that actuator removed. My problem is that door/gate is not moving easily (by hand).
