I've read about guys with jeeps that bake them out after a couple minutes and was jealous because mine didn't. My heater blower wasn't putting out any air hardly at all while the YJ was running. However, if I just put the key in and turned it without starting it, it blows very hard.

I used the search feature and couldn't find anything that covered this.

After checking voltages and other things, I pulled my hood vent cover off. It was spotless and had zero debris inside. I noticed that the vent intake door was open. When I started the jeep up it closed with the heater control on defrost/heat/vent. When I shut it off the door re-opened. Both intake vent doors are controlled by the vacuum switch attached to the heater controls. It has three ports and two vacuum tubes connected to it.

It turns out my tubes had been plugged into the wrong ports! So when the jeep was off the intake doors were open and when running the vacuum closed the doors so no air was coming in from the hood vent.

As the proud owner of jeep that no longer requires a hooded sweatswirt to stay warm in, I hope this post might help somebody else out.

Could you please post a picture or a diagram as to which tubes go to which port. All I know is that one is for the vacuum source on the intake manifold, one goes to the door, and the 3rd one is for A/C? Does that mean when you have A/C hooked up it is the one that _closes_ the door to recycle cool air?
Anyway, it would be cool to document this. It is not documented in the FSM or anywhere else as far as I can tell.

Man, you mean I've been freezing my arse off all those years for nothing...

OMG, I think I have the same problem. I guess I know where I'm spending my day off tomorrow.....under the dash of the YJ!!

I've had a draft that just won't quit ever since I replaced the body tub. I've tried everything!; duct tape, masking tape, electrical tape, spray in foam insulation, cloth-you name it. Still, my legs feel a breeze.

Maybe I messed up the tubing placement on that vacuum thingy you speak of.

This may work for me.....I'll try.

I agree, it would be helpful.

I would like to see how it is attached. Mine have been disconnected amny time by accident and I have gone through the attach and check procedure. But no manual (to my knowledge) shows the correct attachments.

Please post a pict, Doug.

Sorry guys, I went out to take a pic, but I got AC, and the air plenum is in the way. I tried to put my digi camera up behind it, but it wouldn't take.

Doug:

Could you give us a diagram of the connections? It may help.

[doug_1994]

I can't even get my camera in there, let alone my fat head!

But if I ever take apart my dash, I'll take a pic.
