Today on Workshop Quick Takes (wqt): Wonky HVAC controls -- can they be saved? It may be tempting to chuck a misbehaving control cluster and go shopping for another, but on older vehicles, HVAC controls tend to be analog and may just need a good cleaning.
Join us in our 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ as we demonstrate how to remove the stock HVAC control cluster, thouroughly inspect and clean the unit, and restore it to like-new operation with a very low materials cost.

Looks like white lithium grease for the vacuum pod?

That was probably the OE spec, yes. I used a very light, thin coating of Sil-Glyde.

You need to slow down a bit so we can digest some of your good information.. (you talk to fast!)

Unfortunately, analytics data shows the majority of online video content is watched with the audio feed muted. So, it needs to be fast-paced to keep the viewers engaged. But an upside to using KZfaq is that the user can pause or replay anything an unlimited number of times. Also, the video stream can be played faster or slower using the "settings" button at lower right in the video screen. There are also automatic closed-captions generated by KZfaq.
