So, after digging around in pursuit of getting air to flow to the floor, I find in fact that the 'floor door actuator" has a leak in it, and I need a new one. I need a new one like ASPA!
I've called all the auto box stores and NO LUCK! Dealer says it'll take 5-7 business days getting one.
Parts are all over the place and I hate to have to run around with a half assembled dash, etc…

SO… anyone know how and from where I can get this "floor door actuator" in a hurry?! It's for my 2001 Sport. Shows the part # to be 4864995

Let e know please. Thanks!

 

Have you called any Pick and Pulls in your area? (car Junk yard)

 

Not any around my area with salvageable Cherokee's, unfortunately.

 

Rock Auto has them. You could pay more in shipping to get it faster.

Oh man did I pay more! Not from your source though, but thanks!
I finally found one about 93 miles from me at a Chrysler Jeep dealer; they shipped it today and it cost me $47.xx! Ok, I needed it , so what ever.

I take the part to my mechanic, a really great mechanic btw. He also installed my Bilstein shocks and new leaf springs too. It was a bit of sticker shock for me though. It went like this… LABOR ONLY PRICES, as I provided all the parts.

remove front 2" spacer - $158.00 (the spacers were cut out; he did not remove the springs to remove the spacers.
Install two front shocks - $84.00
Remove rear leaf springs and install new - $210.00
Remove and install new rear shocks $73.50
Now here's the one that got me… remove and install new floor vent actuator - $210.00! I told him what was wrong, where it was located and how to replace it (even gave him the diagrams I received from this forum)! I even ran down the part and had it shipped to his door front by the next day, so he could get things done in a timely manner.
Total bill - $816.00 - LABOR ONLY!

MAN! I knew I should have done it all my self. Why didn't I??? Because I need it done, I was very busy and am recovering from a knee injury and I would have never guessed it would have cost me sooooo much, just in LABOR.

So Im venting. We just got 4-6 " of snow, our first too.

I like my mechanic, he's friendly, courteous, doesn't smoke or use foul language, and he's neat and clean, very thorough. I guess I just hand't realized that shocks cost so much to do, that removing spacers cost so much to do, and that install an HVAC actuator cost so much to do, way too much for that for sure!

Oh well, as my wife reminded me, "you get what you pay for". Is that right?

Ok, I will say that I'm glad I didn't have to do it all, it this weather especially. I guess I thought it was going to be no more than $600.00. In all fairness $51.60 was tax. I guess I'm just shocked about the actuator labor cost, thats pretty much it. I really should have done that one myself for sure.
