- Watch an amateur mechanic for the first time pull back a dashboard to remove and replace an AC evaporator and heater core in a 1988 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer. Labor time was about 10 hours.
This is by far the best, simplest video description. Wish I woulda found it first!
I had to order the ac core 3 times until i finally got one that matched the factory exactly. The one I finally got also had the copper tubes. My current issue is the attachment point on the hvac for the cable that comes from the dash control box has broken off. Also the air only comes out of the defrost vents.
i wish i had known about the bolts in the engine bay ! i ripped mine appart... Great video
Great video very helpful
Thank you brother
Great video ! Helped me out a lot 👍
Good job I tackled this last weekend!
Merci pour ta vidéo. Grâce à toi j'ai pu faire la même chose facilement
Great video! I’m planning on tackling this soon. What the best way to disconnect the AC lines without taking all the coolant in the face? And could you have charged the AC back up with the cans off the shelf? Thanks for the help!
It's best to have a shop remove the ac freon, because it's bad for the environment. However, it will not hurt you to slowly loosen an ac line. Wear safety glasses for safety. It is sort of like slowly opening a bottle of coke. The pressure subsides shortly. The cans from the shelf can be used, but someone mentioned to me the importance of vacuuming out any moisture from inside of the system prior to charging. Also, I was told the guages on those cans are not very accurate. This can result in overfilling the ac system and causing damage.
I think cutting out the hvac plastic is a bad idea as it needs to be enclosed to keep air flow! else all the air escapes through the hole you made. It looks like it from the video
WOW! You didn't have to drop the steering column!
Did you find it necessary to remove the center console, or just nice to do?
Really? Edit: I think you mean console there. czcams.com/video/zyPzWv_BGuU/video.htmlsi=5FnvVJQX5DMw8EEV&t=1645@@DakotaTPatterson
Steering column only needs to be lowered. Console must be removed.
Did the temperature sensor wire part work? I had the same exact problem
I had no wiring issues.
@@DakotaTPatterson thanks I’ll delete that wire that goes into the hole too
@@abrahambarkhordar5572do not cut it. Bend it upwards.
Did you change out the ac hoses and connectors? Mine are all rusted but they are pricey. If you did where did you order from
No. Mine were fine.
I thought I was the only person that unloosens things.
Why did your mechanic condemn the evaporator? I have been doing A/C work since the early 1970s and have rarely found the evaporator at fault when the A/C didn't work.
Perhaps process of elimination? I don't know, but he wanted +$1,000 to change it. Funny enough, afterwards it still wasn't blowing cold. I paid him to change the condensor and that got it blowing cold.
Liked your video BTW. Just an FYI, even though you were using HCFC (R134a) it is still a violation of Federal law to release refrigerant into the atmosphere. I see you didn't do that but others have asked.
@@DakotaTPatterson Which is why I asked. I doubted that the evaporator was the problem. Unless a drier desiccant bag came apart (your Jeep doesn't have one) and plugged it or it had a hole in it. It won't fail. You do have to keep the external clean and the cabin air filter serviced. Great video!
@@jimmyraythomason1 Thanks and yes, the system was totally empty prior to any dissasembly. The mechanic made sure.
Thanks, this is on my list. Hopefully it goes this easy...
Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Thanks bro.
@@DakotaTPatterson done.
good content and great speaking skills. This is something I might be doing in the future for my 92 Jeep Limited XJ... one comment... I realize everyone is from different parts of the world and the US, I'm no prude or anything like that, but, it is so annoying that the middle finger is CONSTANTLY used to point. I get it a couple of times, but, nearly every time.. LOL.. its like you're flipping off the viewer every time.
Thank you for the feedback. Sorry about the middle finger. I never thought about it as being offensive. LOL
@@DakotaTPatterson lol.. no worries. I loved your presentation, u spoke VRY well and the need info was geat.. lol.. i was like over and over lololol middle finger... i just had to ask.. reminded me of a Seinfeld episode when the waitress would point using her middle finger when talking to George
your glove box lock has 2 tabs on the sides,, are those are springy tabs or fixed tabs,, i having problems with my glovebox lock,,are those tabs suppost to be pushed to open the glove box?
It's like a plastic string. Each end snaps on easily. Opening the glove box requires pinching the handle on the door. A little black square. You pinch each side together and pull it open.
@@DakotaTPatterson the spring is behin the metal tabs or behind the black tabs(square)
@@DakotaTPatterson cann you name the spring to look it on google?
@@serchmarc sorry I do not know. Look for old jeeps in. Junkyards
