Dear friends, thank you for your feedback! Please be sure to watch the SECOND part of this video - 3 important updates - ruclips.net/video/UfXn_0_1MXg/видео.html
I'm not sure if this is what I need to do, but every time I turn on the heater, I don't have AC in my car but that's not the issue, every time I turn on the heater the coolant starts disappearing and I have a feeling, thia has something to do with what you replacing, I'm scared 😔
It is possible if you have a heater valve Check out this video ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxJfiHk03S5Y9yQ0Sbg-RQtL0LobXGyVsQ If you have a leaking heater core - when you open this valve - coolant will leak out through the heater core.. the coolant would usually leak on your passenger side floor mat (check for wetness), but can also come out as mist through your vents when you turn on the air. I hope this helps.. 🤷♂️
@@MakeItEasyMechanic no leaks from what I can see, my car heats fine, but within a week all coolant is gone, mine is an 08 dodge nitro, as mentioned my AC is not been working for years now
Oh, so it's the same car basically. Then loss of coolant shouldn't have anything to do with turning on the heat. I would check for leaks (radiator, water pump, hoses etc.)
You literally went step by step. I don't think I've ever seen a tutorial better than this one. I loved how you zeroed in on the screws and clips. Best of all was that the video and the angle shots were clear enough that I could see everything. You did an awesome job!!!
I literally thought what a person has to go through to replace this had to be a April fool's joke. I would attempt at rebuilding the transmission before attempting this. Thanks for the video. I'll be dropping it off at the mechanic for a week apparently.
@@disrael2101 It would not be too terribly difficult to put a securely bolted metal access door in the firewall where the heater core inlet and outlet come through. Heater core access has been an issue since cars were first manufactured. The makers seem to like the idea that they can charge six hours of labor for what should be a 20 minute job. Every time I have had to replace a heater core it is because an inadequately soldered joint has failed where the hose nipples are soldered to the core . Before I install a new heater core I always get out my torch and plumbing solder and beef up the solder joints. I have even repaired a failed joint on an original equipment heater core that was perfectly fine except for poorly made solder joints at the nipples. The joint failed and leaked for lack of solder. The old resoldered core can last for decades. I believe it is a case of planned failure and difficult access so the dealers keep you coming back for a high dollar repair.
I think you’re adding malice where it need not be. Simply it is easier and cheaper to punch two holes for the hoses during the stamping process and call it good than to go the extra mile. These guys only care that it makes it through its projected life cycle. I know Toyota used to engineer the Camry for 250k. That was their goal. Idk what a Jeep Liberty was engineered for but I’d say a heater core replacement was not a factor in their design and assembly strategy. Sure, it could be a big conspiracy, but the automakers don’t get big kickbacks off service work. Most of the time the OE manufacturer of the components or an aftermarket company are the ones making money on part sales. So…idk. I do know that it sucks that no manufacturer considers making this job a tad easier. The easiest I have ever seen done was on an old Silverado where the bottom of the HVAC box could be pulled off and the core removed without removing anything but a black plastic trim panel under the dash. That was nice.
This video was impressive. This may be the best automotive "how-to" video I've seen. The detailed explanations and on-screen circles showing hidden items were both extremely helpful. Please do a video detailing how to swap a cam in a Hellcat. 😂
This is a great video and very well done. Just food for thought. I have done a bunch of these heater core replacements, on average it takes me under 3 hours start to finish. I have never disconnected the AC lines so no need to remove or refill the freon. Simply disassemble everything as you did but leave the AC lines connected. You will have plenty of room to remove the 4 screws ,3 metal clips and the the one plastic snap to separate the heater core housing from the Ac section to replace the heater core.
@@disrael2101 if you are getting antifreeze on the floor inside it's the heater core. They are just a poor design. I change more jeep heater cores then any other vehicle. Check the hose connections first, if they are dry then the only possible way antifreeze can get in the passenger compartment is a leaking heater core.
So I’ve watched this video a couple of times. Getting ready to tackle this project on my Liberty. Thanks so much for the step by step process! I’ll let you know how it goes.
This is a fabulous video for the person needing to tackle this job. I will have to say, on a 1992 C/K series pickups, in 15 minutes you can have the heater core out.
Thank you for making this video. I replaced my daughters heater core this weekend and where ever i was in question about a step I just went to your time stamp for help. Great job.
This is by far the Greatest How To Video I've ever seen! Thank you so much for making this video. Hope I never have to do this to my 2012 Liberty but if I do I'll use this video to do it right!
You are an awesome teacher and your video is amazing. That is a big ass job but because you made such an amazing video it is doable from home. Might be the best DIY mechanic video for a complicated job like this that I have ever seen
Thank you for a good informative video. Your description and process made the job totally easy and successful for me . I like the way you point out every fastener and wire connection. I had to refer back to your video when I was putting the job back together a few times cause I wasn't sure on some fasteners for reassembly. you saved me a lot of headache and money.
I finally made it wasn't easy but I got it, the new situation I have after re-install all electrical connectors, a red lighting bolt signal in the dashboard and it won't go off and the engine does not accelerate. the video was really helpful, thank you
@@Turk_2023 after connecting everything the following day I went back and check every thing again I'd saw one of the plugs wasn't fully making contact. fixed.
Thanks! This was a great video!! I took it step by step and had no major issues (there’s always something with a bolt, tight space, etc). But you helped me a great deal. Thanks again!
Great Video! There is another video on RUclips that shows how to replace the heater core without disconnecting the AC. Jeep Liberty kk heater core without removing steering wheel or a/c - RUclips
Thank you ..thank you ..thank you!!! Just did this on my 2010 Liberty. My heater core was a disaster...and the heater box had the blend doors melted in place.. preventing them from moving...so I replaced the entire unit. I also took the diverter out inside the heater box...the air blowing out is like a hurricane now!! Not that bad of a job..one day to remove..one day to put back together.
Thank you.! Honestly I wouldn’t have an idea where to start on replacing a heater core.! You saved me a lot of money.!! Super easy and simple.!! Thank you for explaining it.!
My heat was only working one one side a last month, I thought I was going to have to replace mine and most mechanics wanted $13-1500. I was about to do it my self. With this video I def know I could of, would of took most of day I'm sure. Then I just had it flushed and my heat is all good now. But if I ever have to it in the future thank you for making this video. I hope I don't have to come back to it, but this def seems like a very common problem with these, that and the clogged heater cores like mine.
Thank you so much for making this video, you went above and beyond the call of duty. Follow this video step by step and you will have much success. Try not to get wrapped up in the time it takes, this is your chance to really clean your car up, especially if your heater core blew out in the driver's side carpet. I would suggest replacing the heater box and the 2 actuator motors while your there, after getting mine out I noticed I had the melted black box syndrome, then had to scramble to the next state to pick one up. The 2 hard parts: Getting dash off and on the driver's side, there's a good size plastic pin that goes into the firewall, so you have to gently wrestle it out, then my tip to reinstall that side is to tape a small flashlight pointed at the pin and hole so you can see what's going on, especially if your solo like me. Then, you really need someone to hold the steering wheel while you slip it back into the joint and put the bolt in. Thanks again, Happy Holidays to all, and lastly......Holy Heat, I could fry eggs on the vent :)
Great video. Super helpful. I would recommend laying the parts down with the cosmetic side UP as to not attract dirt or scratches - especially those A pillar covers that are difficult to clean. Thanks!
by far the best step by step how to video I've seen in a long while good job sir, but this video definitely tells me to go pay a mechanic because the time & I'm lazy.
GREAT VIDEO. It made me realize my Nitro isn't worth this much effort to fix the heat . My core isn't leaking so I will try to flush it again and add suction from shop vac. Maybe it will work this time.
Excellent how to video by far. But I sure as hell hope I never have to change mine out lol. I was searching heater core flushing and came across this and said “ o I’ll watch” and glad I did but wish I didn’t 😅😅😅
holy fuck this is the greatest how to mechanic video i have seen, just showed what was needed not moving around and holy shit pausing and circling the screws for video playback is amazin.
Wow, so much work to remove and replace the heater core! Great video, but this amount of work is above my skill level and I can only imagine how much a dealer would charge to do it! I guess I'll be trading my 09 Liberty next spring/summer when no one can tell heating only works on right side because core is clogged.
This is an incredible video. Clearly a repair most people COULD do given enough time, patience, and focus. But, I would say the amount of work is too much for a novice like myself. I guess the shop’s $1300 fee seems like a bargain unfortunately.
Splendid video friend. I have this job lined up for me tomorrow excited to go about it. Although If the video differs from my actual experience i will be sure to come back and leave a brash comment
f the like button. you my friend make the best diy auto videos ive ever seen, consice no side talk, shows everything. a literal one armed chimp could follow your instruction. bravo by far the best diy videos ive ever seen, and i watch alot of them cause imma cheap bastard with a tool chest.
Absolutely the Best Instructional Video that I have ever seen. If I had 10 thumbs, they would all be pointing Skyward. Excellent Video..................
Saw this video because I know I need to replace an evaporator core on a 07 Jeep Liberty. A/C is a necessity in these Texas summers. Didn't see you point the evaporator core's location or have another video. Still found this useful as it requires taking apart the dashboard.
Once you remove the HVAC housing it'll be a piece of cake to change. The evaporator core is right next to the heater core inside the HVAC housing. you can see the outlet pipes of both cores right next to each other at 15:10-15:16. Good luck!
Thank you for making this video its very detailed and precise, my front windshield is starting to fog up on our 2012 Liberty over the heater core, I will be doing this soon.
This video helped validate why mechanics are paid well...lol... I have a Jeep Liberty 08' and mechanic has had my vehicle twice for heat repair. It's still not warming properly. I decided to research a bit and came across your video. I cannot believe he is taking apart the entire interior each attempt at the fix. He said he cleaned the filter because it was full of gunk. I wonder if he meant the heater core. Can that be clean, rinsed & replaced? And if so, why would a mechanic go thru all of that labor and then not replace with a new part? This is our family mechanic we trust but maybe this is too difficult?? So frustrating and uncomfortable in the midwest winter.
If I had to guess, he cleaned the cabin air filter (it sits behind the glove box). Heres a video about heating issues - ruclips.net/video/te6njeydYC0/видео.html
I did my 2012 Jeep liberty heater core, with out evacuating the AC. Once you the plenum loose just move it away from the fire wall and remove the core. saved $200.00.
I just did this and thank you so much for the amazing video's. The one issue I am having is I cannot get my shifter out of park with key in ign and foot on pedal. I triple checked the cables and re-seated them. still wont move.Never had an issue with it before this project so it is something I did.
Some design ehh! This is an absolute blunder to me. This car has 2 if it comes with the infamous SKYSLIDER. No wonder these models got discontinued rather quickly. Only 2 generations for the Jeep Liberty and 1 for the other guy. As for the video on this task. It's an absolute wonder. Detailed down to the smallest detail. A+.
Steps for dealing with bad heater core in a Jeep Liberty: 1) Sell the Jeep Liberty 2) Buy a vehicle that wasn't designed by a sadist. 3) Laugh out loud at the poor schmuck who bought the Jeep Liberty
Great video! I had an issue with my air distribution box and was able to get it chanced out and put back together with in 5 hours or so. I didn’t drain the system tho. It was very easy and straightforward. Just keep everything organized and take a lot of photos, and a paint marker to label things.
Great video! I often hear about the havc unit breaks too. Wouldn‘t it be smart to replace the whole damn thing once you took apart the whole jeep. Would be a pitty if some short time later something of the ventilation like the venting doors? break. Who much time is this shown work taking for an average mechanic?
Gonna be My first time replacing the heater core on my 04 Liberty. My windows fog easily, when I turn on the defroster I smell a sweet syrup smell & then it smells something funny afterward that gives me a headache. I noticed wetness/trail of water underneath the passenger side of the vehicle so it’s 100% heater core. Wish me luck guys

This video was great. I did this this week and without this video I can't imagine how this would have went. I will follow your videos in any repair.
Great video - You saved me A LOT of time spent in trial and error as I made the same repair on our 2009 Liberty - thanks very much!
You did an excellent job of breaking a huge job down into easily manageable steps. Bravo, Sir!

I need mine replaced, but I've got a 2006. I can bet the rent it would have been far easier to replace it on my 73 Plymouth Satellite.
800 dlls por ese trabajo,creo vale la pena intentarlo
hahaha I made the same decision after watching this lol
When they build a car they start with the heater core and the car is built around it.
😂
Hahahah no way around it seems .. what a surprise to be honest i thought it's a matter of two four screws under the hood and that's all

This tutorial was so good that i let the ads play instead of skipping them as a thank you.
An absolutely astonishing how-to. I had to pay around $1300 to get my heater core replaced at 114,000 miles on my 2008 Libby.

Better idea is to replace the EVAP core while your in it. At least you have time to sell it before it starts leaking too.

I'm going to need getting mine replaced on my 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport. I can bet it was far easier to replace it on my 1973 Plymouth Satellite.
Your a lifesaver! Super comprehensive video! Thanks for the video brother!
GREAT SCOTT. THANK YOU SO MUCH! WELL DONE VIDEO.
Some design ehh!
This is an absolute blunder to me.
This car has 2 if it comes with the infamous SKYSLIDER.
No wonder these models got discontinued rather quickly. Only 2 generations for the Jeep Liberty and 1 for the other guy.
As for the video on this task. It's an absolute wonder. Detailed down to the smallest detail.
A+.
Thank you
It's not just a Jeep thing, most heater core and evaporator cores on vechiles require the completel disassembly of the dashboard
VERY GOOD VIDEO AND VERY HELPFUL. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THIS VIDEO..
Great video.. do you happen to know where the tcm module is located and the dynamic sensor?
Gad Zooks! I didn't know you had to disassemble the whole vehicle just to get to the heater core. Lol. No wonder we are getting screwed on repairs.
Oh my god. The dealership wants to hit me with 3k to do this….I think I’m better off buying all the tools and doing it myself.
Man. Looks like a lot of work but it will save myself a lot of money.
thanks for making this tutorial, helped me a ton.
You are really good at this type of video.
Saved so much time Thanks for the video.
Steps for dealing with bad heater core in a Jeep Liberty:
1) Sell the Jeep Liberty
2) Buy a vehicle that wasn't designed by a sadist.
3) Laugh out loud at the poor schmuck who bought the Jeep Liberty
Great video! I had an issue with my air distribution box and was able to get it chanced out and put back together with in 5 hours or so. I didn’t drain the system tho. It was very easy and straightforward. Just keep everything organized and take a lot of photos, and a paint marker to label things.
Great video! I often hear about the havc unit breaks too. Wouldn‘t it be smart to replace the whole damn thing once you took apart the whole jeep. Would be a pitty if some short time later something of the ventilation like the venting doors? break. Who much time is this shown work taking for an average mechanic?
Yep, I replaced A/C EVAP at the same time. Don't want to do this again!
Gonna be My first time replacing the heater core on my 04 Liberty. My windows fog easily, when I turn on the defroster I smell a sweet syrup smell & then it smells something funny afterward that gives me a headache. I noticed wetness/trail of water underneath the passenger side of the vehicle so it’s 100% heater core. Wish me luck guys
Do these tools and metrics apply to a 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport? I believe the Jeep shown in this video barely missed the 2002-2007 generation.
I've done one of those and I think it took me about 14hr to do the job.... never again... LOL!!
Yes if you are a mechanic the more of those replacements you do the faster you can do this job ..
You're crazy for even trying it after seeing what it requires.. respect anyways
Thank you. This is a great video.
I started crying half way through this video 😢
Excellent video. Good detail and explanations.
Thanks for the video,they help me alot !!
