Thanks for the input, i really appreciate it. All other functions of the hvac control work normally. Inside/outside air and directional control through the floor vents, dash vents, and defrost all work like they should. Just the temperature control doen't work properly. Like i said in the...

I don't think is a vacuum issue as the blend door itself won't physically move all the way. Looking at the drawing in the FSM, it looks like there are two blend doors controlled by the electric actuator and they look like they are connected by linkage, but it's hard to tell for sure. Anybody...

I've researched this and found quite a few posts on the blend door actuator and how to replace it, but does anyone know how to repair or replace the blend door itself? Can it be done without disconnecting the AC? I got the dash pulled out far enough to remove the blend door actuator and had a...

Well, turned out that i didn't have the airbag connector locked and it wasn't making a good connection. I had to take the dash back apart to replace the blend door actuator which turns out was not bad. The blend door itself is, but that's another topic and another post. Anyway, got the...

Front end components on the Liberty are pretty easy to isolate and inspect for condition. I would check it out sooner than later though. I had a front lower ball joint break and thankfully i was going pretty slow when it happened. Could have been a whole lot more serious ending if it had been...

Troubleshooting failed blend door actuator

2003 Jeep Liberty Sport

I appreciate the information, but i haven't taken that apart yet as i was just troubleshooting and don't have the actuator yet to replace. I'll definitely check those out though and try the reset suggested earlier. Thanks again for the help! Tracy

I did disconnect the battery for about an hour and held the terminals together for a short time. I guess i should have taped them together for a while. I will try resetting it that way and see if it works. I still have to tear the dash apart again to replace the blend door actuator when the new...

Is there any easy way to reset the airbag light on the dash? The system has no problems other than being disconnected for work on the blend door actuator. I disconnected the battery and left it disconnected for about an hour before removing the airbag and reconnected it with the battery...

Thanks for the info. I got the oil in it and everything else put back together finally. Fired her up last night with no problems at all. Runs great! Now the next question is what is the best break-in method for this engine. I have searched the forum and tried to find any information on how to...

What is the best break in oil to use after the rebuild on my Jeep 3.7 after a complete rebuild? She is still on the engine stand, but I will probably put it in in the next few weekends. Also, I am going to go back with the HOAT antifreeze like it should have had in it. Is a flush of the...

I am trying to find out who makes the best quality engine rebuild kits for the 3.7 engine. Mine is a 2003. I don't want to have to worry about cheap quality parts failing. Also any recommendations on mods or anything else to do to this engine while I have it apart. Any suggestions would be...

re: Low oil pressure and engine rattle Wow. Sorry to hear about all of your problems with it. I have really had to do nothing on mine until this started and I have had it for almost 10 years. Been a great rig, I just didn't expect to have to pull the engine with this few miles on it. I have it...
