Cant thank these guys enough. They saved me $1400+. Heater core is just $100ish but due to the labor everyone was asking 1500+. It was scary doing it. Lot of things to remove. After removing it the dash didnt go back. It had to be inserted in a particular way. There are guides on each side and it has to be inserted properly. Highly recommend having someone for this step alone. Others are one person activity.

Excellent job! This video took the intimidation factor out of the job which to me, is 80% of the hurdle to get started. I did mine by myself and it took me about 14 hours. I did not have to remove the steering column or the front seats. In fact, I sat in the driver seat for most of the job. I also did not remove the dash out of the vehicle. I set it in the front seats. I also did not remove the A/C components. After watching your video, I knew what the heater core module looked like so I removed a few screws and yanked it out. It lifts out the opposite way that the dash comes out. The heater core module rocks up facing you and you yank up and angled back toward you. You can ignore that little cracking sound as it comes loose. My final modification was that I did not remove the cables through the firewall. I simply cut them with wire cutters and connected them during reassembly with quick disconnects. Mine is a 2012 and the steering wheel is different than yours. Mine did not have those three clips for the ABS/horn. Mine had two 10mm head bolts; one on left and one on right. One of the most annoying things about this job was that I had to use darned near every tool I own. For torx bolts (T-20) I had to use my Craftsman sockets plus a screwdriver style. If you don't have both of these then go buy them before you start this job. Also go buy the 5-pack interior tools from Harbor Freight for under $10. The auto stores sell the same tools for $15. I wish auto manufacturers would standardize/simplify their screws and bolts. Some on this car are 10mm bolts, others are 7mm/phillips, and others are T-20 torx. Thanks a million for the excellent video. Andrew

Okay... I just did this job on a 2011 Jeep Liberty Sport. This video is a great guide line but definitely doesn't show everything that needs to be done but I am very greatful for this video because it did help allot. I did all my own refrigeration work and from start to finish It took me 13.5 hours with no help, just me. I took the time to inspect my evaporator coil and it was still in great shape so I did not replace it. I did put new O'rings on each side of the expansion device. I also took the time to number and label each part as I removed it and also put every screw, nut, bolt in a sandwich bag and taped it to the parts they were used on. I ended up pulling somewhere around 30ish parts off and every one was numbered, so as I was putting everything back together I was able to start with my high number and work backwards to make sure every part was put back on in the reverse order as they were taken off. I did remove the passenger seat but not the driver's seat. The steering wheel itself does not have to come off but I did remove the steering column with wheel attached, it honestly wasn't too difficult to remove the column and wheel as one piece. Thanks for the video! Not sure I could have figured it out without following this video as I did the job

Wow that was a lot of work. I remember changing one for a Pontiac 6000 and all I had to do was take off the glove compartment door to get to it. Those were the good old days. Great job and video!

Thank You De La Paz for a thorough video with your explanations of what to do... We will be replacing the heater core on my Daughter's 08 Liberty 3.7 in the next few days and I will use your video as my main guide... Again thank you for taking the time. Muchas Gracias !

Great video walk through. I would like to add. You don't have to remove the steering wheel from the column you can disconnect the harness and the interlock cable and remove the four bolts and the intermediate shaft and remove the column in one piece, that is how we did at the dealership.

Very good job. My nephew has taken on this project for his Jeep then calls me mechanic uncle to bail him out... I too did not know the depth of this task. Well time to go to work.

After watching this decided it's best just to drive my Jeep off a cliff.

Excellent work. If in doubt, take it out! You did a proper job there well done. Patients, being super careful not to break stuff and having faith that its going to work is all you need.

I just did this job. You don't have to take the seats out! The center console will come out without that, Also you don't have to disassemble the steering wheel! Remove the pinch bolt and four mount nuts and the thing will practically fall out all in one piece. After unplugging of course. I do a lot of these for local shops and try to find the easiest way. Disassembling the steering wheel and pulling the seats will add an hour, at least...

So wanted to say thank u this helped me so damn much I replaced the heater core yesterday in my 0i libertysport ANF your video was a great step by step visual aid thank u

Uhhhh, I would just buy a plug-in heater if my core went. Good work........master of the universe!

Dude.... thanks 1,000,000. Thanks to you I was able to remove the top dash nook, and complete a project.

Why do they make something that will go out easily so hard to get to

Hey. im doing one right now and you don have to take the ac lines off. just leave them on and swivel the case out just a little bit and you can take the 4 screws out that holds the top of the case on. then you can take it out and disassemble the part the holds the heater core in.

Good job guys I've done quite a few of those Jeeps now it's been about six or eight months since I've done one your video nice mental refresher anybody watching this video the only suggestion is not mess with the steering wheel just take the thing out as one unit remove 2 covers behind the steering well unplug it remove the steering shaft bolt and take it out as one saves a lot of time but again guys for the video

Man! What a great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

thanks for posting this. i have a jeep compass 2008. i have heat, it just won't switch to the floor vents and the defrost. not good for MN winters. never knew it wasn't wanting to do that until i needed it to. of course. this is a good start.

Killer video buddy. My son and I will tackle this project next week. Thank you!

What you guys accomplish is very cool. I have a 2012 jeep liberty and the fuel light is out can you upload the part where you take out the drive side dash board?

Missed a couple bolts in video and hard to hear the audio but this video has been invaluable for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us!!!

Thank you for making this video! It helped me a ton.

Hate my jeep I think I’m going to torch it for insurance 😂

Good video. Very helpful. But why you take the steering wheel so far apart. Just removing the 2 nuts allows the steering wheel to the floor without having to take the shaft signals ignition and wheel off

Dear God, I think I'm going to need this done😲 I'm scared now, when turning on heater, coolant goes low, very low

Does this method work for a 09 grand Cherokee Laredo?

If my AC doesn't get cold due to a freon leak, there's no need to take it to a shop to get the freon refrigerant recycle as there isn't any, is this correct?

Great video just got to blast it through the shop radio to hear you lol

My 2012 Jeep is not blowing any air on floor vents any idea how to repair it, other vents work perfect and A/C and heat work great thank you brother

Jesus, I got a 2012 liberty that needs the heater box replaced. My mechanic told me it would be somewhere in the area of 1500 to get replaced, I can see why now.

Great Video! thanks!

I Paid $1400 to have this done last year. Drove 3 miles down the road and the heat quit on me. Took it back, they tinkered with it over night and the same thing happened. The mechanic told me there's nothing more he could do with it after he charged me $100 to flush it. He said jeep libertys of my year had problems with sand contamination when they cast the engine so I'll always have plugging issues with the heater core. Wish I had the guts to do this myself back then. Would have saved a lot of $$$

What all is holding that control box in we have all the bolts out but something is still holding it in. We got messed up control flaps

I have a 2011 Jeep Liberty. Bought the heater core. Got stuck at removing the center console. I couldn't get it past the E-brake. Last year I was flushing my heater core every 30 to 60 days to get by the winter. Due to the pandemic, I can get away with flushing it once because I work from home now. I guess I'll save up money to pay a mechanic.

Why take apart the steering wheel when all you have to do is drop the steering wheel (4bolts) without even messing around with all that unnecessary work? I changed my heating core without a lot of work that is done on this video

Thanks for the video brother!

Thanks for uploading this. My son's wife's car has this problem. What a cluster ?X#@ design. 3

Video was well done... Good Job....

Great video! 👍🏼

Thanks for the video but it took 12 hours just to get the new heater core in but there are too many bolts

In previous video you didn't confirm thermo stuck open did you? Seems easier than this.

Do you have a shop in the bronx? Love your work?

How the hell did you get the screws on the clqmshell

How much will it cost for some one to do this kind of work on my Jeep? I don’t have the time but maybe I can pay someone to do it for me! Does anyone knows of a good mechanic around the Portland Oregon area?

How do you remove the steering wheel ?

Thanks for the vid, q I installed a new core like you. Got heat but only in defrost. Air blows to each when selecting(floor, towards...) however it is always cold in each vent other than when I change to defrost then I get hot only towards windshield. Any help?

I was watching the video, because I need to replace a Jeep Liberty kk passenger airbag, but this video don't show how to remove the airbag.... if someone has a video on how to replace a passenger airbag, please share.

Hello, my liberty sends very little heat, the coolant intake is hot but the output lukewarm. Does the system have a valve that cuts off the circulation of water? Or the heat core will be covered? Thank you so much for the comments

Please help !!! I got everything off as far as I can tell minus the steering wheel, i did take out the 2 screws underneath that were bolts to the dash on driver side under the steering wheel. I have almost freemotion on passenger side but cannot get the driver side of the dash to come forward no matter what I try, it wiggles but feels like its bolted somewhere almost dead middle behind the steering assembly. What am I missing ? Help !!!

Guys thank you did a great job 👍🏼

Whelp....here we go!!!

I do these in an hour at the dealership without taking the seats out and I remove alot less .

Much obliged

Hey! I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty and the heat only works once I start driving. When its in park when I'm trying to warm it up, the heat is only cool air and once I drive, it gets hot. Would this be the heater core? I'm dreading trying to take this dash off by myself.

currently having this done to my jeep (identical to yours). I'm afraid of what the final bill is going to be.

Can you show 2013? It's PITA

It's unnecessary to remove the steering wheel. You don't need the entire dash out to remove the heat box.

I am shocked my shop only charged me 700 for this and an oil change and were done in a day.

This cost me $1,300 at 114,000 moles on my 2008 Liberty

do I have to let the Freon out when changing the hearter core

the minute he said remove the seats I would have poured gas on it and tossed a match in it and called the insurance company haha this is freakin nuts what they make you go through on cars these days. I guess I'm just an old fart now but I remember the good ol days when I heater core job was about 1 1/2 hours start to finish. damn I was looking to buy one of these jeeps too.

Done 5 hours

Why yo take steering wheel a part 😳🤔

no need to remove steering wheel, the column will come out in 1 piece.

How much is that job?

que joda

Think this can be done without taking the steering wheel off?

Loved it.... GOOD LUCK! Lol

TOTAL BS VIDEO. Do NOT do all what he says, just take the Top dash screws and console screws off and side underneath screws and pull it out and disconnect Air Bag on s wheel

Blower motor not engine

Not like that ok

He doing too much work I can get it out without doing all that stuff there

This people said blower engine? How many cylinders they got, learn first terminology then teach please don’t confuse people stop there

Ohh fuck me

WoW thats a huge time consuming job! My friend just bout a 2008 Jeep Liberty, heat sort of works, heat comes out passenger side vent, air come out the other heats but its barely warm at best. Sound like heater core?
