Where do the heater hoses go?
Heater hoses are smaller hoses that are attached to the heater core, which is located under the dashboard, to supply warmth to passengers in the cabin.
What to do if your Jeep Wrangler heater is not working?
So it may be beneficial for those with newer Jeeps to take a spin to the dealership, or trusted mechanic, for a diagnosis. This is the guy in charge of blowing air across the hot heater core, through the Jeep’s ventilation system, and into the cabin.
Why does my Jeep Wrangler have no coolant?
However, even if there is no coolant smell, but an issue with the heater, it is a good idea to check these hoses for heat. If the engine is warm, then you should feel heat from the hoses as well. If not, then the coolant is not circulating properly and you could have air in the lines or a clogged heater core that needs a flush.
Where does the heat come from in a Jeep Wrangler?
And it comes, basically, from heat generated by the engine. When your Jeep reaches its optimal temperature, its thermostat opens and allows that coolant from the cooling system to flow through the engine, removing heat and sending it into the radiator, then into the heater core which, ultimately, distributes it into the Jeep.
Why does my Jeep Wrangler heater smell bad?
A defective hose, whether it is a connection issue, rot, or they are torn in some way, can cause coolant to leak and you’ll should smell coolant in the engine bay. If that coolant splashes onto the heater core, then the smell probably will intrude into the cabin.
