Jeep: Question about 2000 JGC A/C vents??

My a/c seems to work fine, and blows pretty cold air through the center
vents, above the area where the digital controls are located.

The vents to the far left and right, blow "cool" air, but definitely not
cold air, as I get from the center vents.

This model has the dual air controls, and both controls are on the lowest
setting. The vent control that tells the air where to go is set to
direct air only to these upper vents. So, the air is not being "split"
to various vents. (or else it is set not to split, it is set to go to the
upper body vents).


Anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what is the cure ?? I
doubt that I could fix it, but it would give me something to speak to my
mechanic about.


Thanks !!

There is a TSB on this. This is a known problem for SEVERAL years 1998 thru
2004.
Jeep should have recalled every one of them and fixed their poor design.
(Yea right).
Expect to pay the stealership around $900 for this fix. 8 hrs labor and
about 150 parts.
The dash comes out.

been there done that
