To replace the heater core in a 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee, first disconnect the battery and drain the coolant. Remove the dashboard and the center console to access the HVAC unit. Disconnect the heater core hoses from the firewall, then remove the screws and clips securing the heater core in the HVAC housing.
