How to find the bypass hose on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited?

Answer 1

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00

The heater core is embedded in the HVAC plenum box and the dash and box have to be removed to replace the heater core. This is an involved process and will take a lot of time. Check www.wjjeeps.com for pictures of the process.

If the heater core is leaking, it will need to be replaced. You may be able to seal the leaks with some of the radiator stop leak products. If there are no signs of leakage(no puddle under the passenger dash), the problem is most likely with the blend door. Check the HeaterTreater eBay listing for the 95 GC for diagnostic information and pictures.

Answer 2

I have a leaking hose that goes from the Air Compressor to the Condenser on my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is the rubber part that is leaking. I was considering taking a dremel tool and carefully cutting the metal that holds the rubber onto the metal fittings and then replacing the failed rubber hose and securing it using a number of small hose clamps. This method worked with a failed transmission cooling hose and I do not see any reason it could not work with air conditioning hose. The air conditioning hose is available in bulk and some auto stores, NAPA for example, carries bulk hose of various kinds. I will probably remove the hose from the air compressor before I start to cut the metal crimp as it is very close to the other hose coming out of the compressor.

Another option would be to remove the hose and take it to a place that specializes in creating hoses of various sorts. They could replace the rubber part and re-crimp it with the correct metal crimp.

Answer 3

Just undo the clamps on either end & remove. A parts counter can look it up in the book & provide the right one. they just need to know if it's upper or lower. You may lose a little water, just top off when done. Clamps only need to be snug. there is no torque value.

On a V8 it is under the bracket the ac compressor bolts down to. The I6 does not have one.
