I'm having heater or problems with my 96 cherokee. The heat isn't really
warm ever even though I have flushed the heater core and wired the control valve open also when I put the blower on full blast it doesn't really blow much air out of the vents or defroster or on the floor it just shoots colder air from somewhere down on the floor but not the floor vents anyone know what I should check

Patience man! There are plenty of extremely knowledgable guys on this forum... 6 different threads asking the same question won't help you any more than one with some basic info about your jeep/problem.

Check blend door adjustment(thank cruiser54 for the pic)

You also might want to check your vacuum lines, particularly the reservoir ball behind the front bumper (if stock)

somehow I feel compelled to reply yet again....

as I replied in your 'number' or 'code' thread....

do you even have a thermostat???

as anxious as you are bombarding the forum with threads I highly doubt you have checked....

if you don't have a thermostat you simply will not get heat, period... take a deep breath and start with the basics...
