2004 wj GC a/c NOT grand

If the '94 is anything like the '93 (and I think it is the same) there is no difference in the mechanical aspects of the system between the manual and automatic systems. Both systems operate the Temperature/BlendAir Door with the same air door motor electronically. If the problem is in the motor, it can be removed from under the dash. If the problem is in the blend air door sticking, etc., you are looking at a major repair job, including the removal of the dash and the heater-A/C unit from the vehicle. Electronics between the two systems are of course very different.

Curious as to what the fix from Ebay is.

That may be but the OP is talking about the '04.

I'm not sure if your issue is the same as mine, but I had a '99 WJ Laredo that stopped pumping air all together. It turns out that the fresh air/ recirculated air door broke and fell on to the opening to the fan/blower unit. I was lucky in that I was able just remove the glove bin, drop the blower motor, and then put in a coathanger to prop up the door in the fresh air position. Otherwise, the DC service manual said to remove the dash, drain the AC gas, drain the coolant, disconect the AC and coolant lines going to the HVAC system, remove the unit and open it up on a bench.

Good point Herb. I could have sworn it said 1994.

Yes, it is a 2004 not '94 (that's ok it happens to the best of us).

Herb: the fix that I saw on ebay is called "HeaterTreater blend door AC heater FIX".

If this link does not work, go to ebay and do a search for jeep blend door.

I am wondering if anyone has used it and, if it was as easy as they say it is to do the repair and if it really does the job.

It sure looks like it would be worth a try. One thing I noticed on the Ebay posting is the procedure to tell if you need a new blend door before you purchase a repair kit.

I would rather it had the 2nd set of gears and not have the doors locked together, tho.
