The reason that happens when you put too many napkins in the glove box and you open the door the suction of the blower motor sucking air through will actually suck the napkins right out of the glove box so it's kind of a bit of a design flaw
The customer may have been wondering if the spouse or kids were removing all the napkins they left in the glove box. Bad design when the glove box closes exposes the contents to the recir door.

Owner must have been trying to relive the 80’s and had the non-OEM McDLT aftermarket kit added. For those that remember the “keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool” from McDonalds.
I can just see the conversation...He: "I could've sworn we had some napkins in the glove box. How are we going through them so much?" She: "Don't blame me!"
This happened to my 2008 Ram 1500 - hot driver's side and cold passenger side. Both my mechanic and myself believed it be the blend door. I mean, the blend door is a known issue with these Dodge trucks. Well, come to find out, and after $800 of pulling the dash, the compressor was on its last leg. Replaced compressor and a/c works great. The one side and the other cooling was intermittent. I will not be surprised if that Jeep comes back for a/c work.
Your closing comment, "End Of Transmission" has always been clear to me what it was...never thought it was referring to a vehicle transmission. Maybe just the way mind processes it. No need to change on my account. Thanks for another great video. Loved the napkin collection! LOL
Ray, after watching one of your videos a long time ago I decided to buy a good scan tool, an oscilloscope, and eventually a crap ton of various others tools and equipment and learn to correctly diagnose. I had already been doing my own repairs and helping others for nearly 5 decades but just haven't worked as a mechanic since I was 17 years old. There is great sense of satisfaction that comes from being able to tell someone what is ACTUALLY wrong with their vehicle - especially after they've previously taken it to several other people/shops for diagnostics. I do all of that for free... just kidding! I do it very reasonably and always try to help and be extremely reasonable for those who truly can't afford healthcare for their vehicles such as single moms. Thanks Ray!
People like these are keeping you in business. I drove nearly 50 years, never had to take the car to a mechanic (ok, some oil change when I didn’t myself). Good for you!
*Ray:* I'm gonna check the half-moon recirculation door, and see if it's working, or see if it's broken. *Ray Finds Napkins Blocking Recirculation Vent* *Eric O., SMA:* Well, there's your problem, lady!
@billmilosz that would work, or just a few. I seriously don't know why he cleaned out the car... I would have left them on the floorboard and advised the owner.
@@defresurrection yeah, never know there could be something scribbled on one, or that ziploc might have something in it they thought they lost or whatever. But off camera they might have been put in box or bag and left back in jeep
Good deduction and good find. We used to get state inspectors for our inspection where they stuffed the air cleaner full of shop towels on almost new cars and acted like they were in a hurry to get a pass and their sticker, foregoing the complete time and procedures to "get to an appointment". The boss would offer to drive them there while the car was completed correctly. The tech could have lost his license and been fined if we gave in. Good thing he busted them at it. The govt. should actually try lots of shops without trying to trick a man out of his career. They might find the places who fudge it. Clean air was critical in that region of the mid west. In this car, somebodys saving the napkins and putting them in and shutting the glovebox during trips thru the drivethru.
Ray, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. My wife unit is always collecting napkins to keep in her glove compartment, and while she hasn't had this problem, I just had to show it to her. End of transmission.
This isn't about the video but I just want to say your "channel" is THE best one of all the auto repair ones. I get the DT's when you don't put one up!! Keep these coming.
The "unlimited" just means 4 door. The cabin air filter only came on some models from the factory, the ones with the auto climate control, you can indeed add them to the 2012-2018 . It takes the Fram CF11777 ita actually 2 separate filters.
This is a very common problem. Had one kid who put his change in his ashtray never took it out just kept adding. We had installed a alpine cd player under the dash, it was one of the older cars with a small square radio you could not change, guy comes in after about 2 years his cd player stopped working and his dash rattled everytime he hit a bump. I pulled the cd player 87 cents in change came out it shorted and blew a car fuse, but i also pulled 67.57 cents worth of change from behind the dash i had a big hump on the passengers floor board of pennies nickels dimes and quarters. All his problem was take out related. But he never took it out. If you stuff your glovebox with napkins the cars not going to eat them and no putting change in the ash try won't give you more gas milage funny when cd players came out small children decided they were piggy banks ive pulled plenty of change out of them. Got a 20 dollar bill once. Nope they don't give quarters as change. Thats not the biggest find i had in a car one car had a 400 dollar wad of cash, i gave it back to the owner. Apparently one of his passengers in the back seat lost it.
My wife is a "paper towel collector." Whenever we eat at a takeout, she takes the left-over paper towels and stuffs them in the glove box. I periodically go in and remove a large number of towels. I will keep this in mind if we have a problem with the AC flow in our Jeep.
OMG - I laughed for 5 minutes after seeing all of those napkins. My wife is always putting extra napkins in all of our cars "just in case". I actually went to the garage and checked our cars, while discarding a pile of them. This video was great.
There is a cabin air filter that comes in two parts. It installs behind the screen and napkins under the air recirculation vent door. For some reason, Chrysler only installs the filters in about 10% of new Wrangler vehicles . Funny, I had the exact same napkin issue with my Wife’s 2012 Wrangler Sport Unlimited. Currently, I’m getting ready to install a repaired actuator for that recirc vent door to eliminate a disturbing knocking noise emanating from behind the glove box door. A real PITA job due to access difficulties. I’ve had to deal with every “known “ issue with Wranglers,including the mystery 302 misfire code for cylinder 2 that is part of a recall the dealerships don’t seem to know anything about.
Cabin air filtration provided by, Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Taco Time and more. Customer solution to avoid the cost of filter elements? Perfect! LOL 😳
My '16 Rubicon has two filters in back of the glove compartment. They are the cabin air filters. The glove compartment is aggravatingly undersized. You can't fit the manual in without flexing it.
Back in the day, when computers were very expensive, my 5 year old put change into the floppy drives on our computer. Myself as a toddler back in early 60's used to put change into the air return vent of our house heater. I used to love hearing the tick, tank, clonk of it bouncing around the ductwork. Then my dad found out.........
A guy I worked with had twins that loved putting Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches in the VCR. I wonder how many VCR's Mark went through before his kids were cured of that habit.

Watched this video yesterday, got inspired, and took my 2014 Wrangler glove box out. Found envelope with registration & proof of insurance, which I had presumed were gone forever. BTW, if it was a base model, the cabin air filters were optional.
I guess a Minimum service chg. would be expected. When Vehicles were less complicated, I use to tell people all the time how to fix their problems--I was just a Backyard Mechanic but was Raised around Used cars as my best friends dad had a used car lot and we were always replacing clutches, water pumps, alternators and problems like these...
I had same problem . I ended up flushing the heater core by disconnecting both hoses at firewall in engine bay , hooking water hose to one and the other to a bucket . Got two handfuls of rust out of it . Immediate fix ! Why it was cold on one side and hot on the other , I have no idea .
Ray- when you were putting the coolant hoses back on that engine- you did not put the hose clamps back in place. @45:26 mark of the 1:18:52 video you made on this Jeep. Maybe you did it off camera? I’m sure you’ve said as have others, how easy it is to forget to come back on bolts, hoses, connectors once you start on other stuff (PCV pipe in this case). That Jeep has probably been shipped down the road long ago. Great job overall Ray!!!!
I caught that too but if you go back and watch the last video for the final fluid fill up and restart he caught it and made it a point that "that's why you always do a once over follow up to catch things like that" He also forgot to tighten the air intake tube to the throttle body which he also rectified.
I have a question maybe you or someone here can answer. My wife has a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland while using the heater I'm getting colder air on the driver's side and hot air on the passenger side it's a dual climate control. Fluids are good, thanks for all responses.
Especially in used cars, check behind the glove box. No telling what you may find. I had a rattle under the dash on a car I bought. It was cassette tapes, and get this, of Russian music!
Dealer would have replaced the compressor.
Or just wiped the dirt of of the old one and say they replaced it.
....and charge the owner $2000

Jeeps don't have design flaws.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
should only keep gloves in a glove box, not napkins
The fan motors keeping the glove compartment clean . By sucking those napkins out.
I think that's the first time Ray is speechless when he saw the napkins I love the pause and the double take
The customer may have been wondering if the spouse or kids were removing all the napkins they left in the glove box. Bad design when the glove box closes exposes the contents to the recir door.
Have a Grand Cherokee with dual zone. Passenger side won't blow heat. I'm coming after those napkins
"Always fix FIRST what you KNOW is bad". Bet the service manual troubleshooting chart doesn't reference napkin interference.
"We now return control of your television set to you, until next week at this same time, when the Control Voice will take you to... The Outer Limits"....I mean Rainman Repairs....😆
Bet owner wondered why he was always out of napkins
Owner must have been trying to relive the 80’s and had the non-OEM McDLT aftermarket kit added. For those that remember the “keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool” from McDonalds.
Finding all of those napkins is similar to finding the air cleaner packed with acorns. Both are blocking air flow.
2007 Toyota - Pecan bits, paper, etc. We were barely getting any air through the filter! Still wonder how the critter got in there.
I can just see the conversation...He: "I could've sworn we had some napkins in the glove box. How are we going through them so much?" She: "Don't blame me!"
That prompted a Jamie Hyneman "well there's your problem" moment. Good find.

Cabin filters are only factory installed on auto climate systems, though can be added by those of us without same. Blend door issues are well known.
Ray, the napkins and paper towels are the cabin air filter!🤣

Unbelievable fix. Who would of thought something like that in today's vehicles! Hope that teaches all of us a lesson in hoarding! Thanks Ray!
I only like the limited versions. Unlimited ones scare me. Because with them... everything is possible.

That glove box will hold 5000 napkins. Thanks to the expanded storage optional feature.
My 2015 Jeep also eats things from that compartment I have found mail and other items inside that fall out of that compartment
"Well... there's yer problem..."
There's two cabin air filters that were missing in there! Just glad those were paper napkins!!!
reminds me of the bus ticket in a gas tank the car keept stalling and took the garage 2/3 mounths to sort out. true story
Wished my Envoy had easy to reach the actuators like this Jeep has.
You know why the window switches are in the center console? So you can lower the windows when the doors are off😂

Unwavering dedication and humility make you a standout. Congrats!
What is fun is when they drop a pen or pencil in the duct and it sticks in the blend air door
Funny thing, clogged Cabin filters do the same thing.
Block air so it doesnt get cold, change them every or 2 oil changes
You bought the automatic glovebox cleaning option. Now you want the vents to work too? You can't have both. It's either options package 12A or 32B.

You can never have too many napkins in a vehicle, just be careful how and where you store them.

Those napkins were his air filter for the in car recirculation.
When you're in the middle of nowhere, and you have to go. It's better then using leaves.
And they didn’t wonder where all the napkins were going in their glove compartment dunce.
The Jeep did have an air filter, a NAPPT model (napkin paper towel).
This concludes our broadcast day. Such a long way to say end of transmision.
You should have put all those napkins in a bag and put them on the passenger’s seat with a little note.
There should be two cabin air filters behind the door.
