Do all Jeeps have heat?
YJ, TJ, JK, and JL models of Jeep Wranglers all have heating systems. So, by years, anything 1987 or newer will have a heating system.
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.
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.
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.

What does it mean when your car heater is not working?
There are two hoses coming to and from the heater core. They both should feel warm or hot to the touch with the engine on. If one of the hoses is hot, and the other one is cold, that is a pretty good indication that the heater core is clogged. If the neither hose has any heat, you may have air in the cooling system, low fluid, or low pressure.
