Interesting Heating Issue
I think I have an idea of the issue (blend door, maybe), but want to run the situation by y'all for input.
I recently flushed the entire cooling system to include a good flushing of the heater core. I've got a nice new radiator leak since there isn't any crapola to plug the hole. Replaced the water outlet housing, t-stat and temp sensor and voila, I have heat. The kicker is that it is only on one side or the other for the vents or defrost (vent: driver side gets heat. defrost: pass side gets heat), but the floor heat works great on both sides.
What gives??

Was just reading the thread cuz i have a heating/ac issue myself.... saw the diagram posted and was curious....what years covered is that diagram? I ask because there is nothing behind my bumper at all. I have what i believe to be a vacuum canister on my firewall passenger side. But honestly i didnt know if it was for the heater/ac or if it had some function with the 4wd. My xj is a 97 if it matters.

[QUOTE=Jooman07;3056264]Do you have an aftermarket bumper on yours?[E]
No...its a stock bumper. Only thing ive modified is the suspension. Everything else i thought was totally stock....or arleast i bought it that way.
