Come along as I have a look at a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has a customer complaint of no A/C. It is a pretty easy diag after gathering a little bit of data and following the facts.
-Enjoy!

hvac is under bcm or a separate control module
👍U Da Man !
I might have missed something but why not just chop the control and feed wires from the module and wire-up an external relay?
I do circuit board repairs for allsorts of electronics but I tend not to touch automotive boards unless it's something critical/irreplaceable because you OWN that board once you tinker with it and EVERY problem the car has thereafter is your problem and where an external relay can work, I'd just do that?
I've used a few Autels – they're decent tools but 1 word of warning…
When the support expires – the device magically becomes slow and clonky in a way it amazingly wasn't before
AND
The support renewal for our 2.5 year-old MS908 is more than it cost new – so erm…
Not surprising I guess but worth knowing – the "Snoretel" monicker largely comes from people using unsupported devices I suspect…
Eric, thanks for another great video! I like to work on small electronics circuits in my spare time. I am local to you and would love to attempt to fix things like this. Let me know if it is something you would be interested in.
autel and topdon definitely got a push on these diag machines , every mechanic vlogger I watch are using them 😆
Ok Eric.. if it's the dealership just being stupid that's one thing but.. if you do find it's something hinky like your gut is telling you and ya need backup just holler.. your Tx boys will ride up and help kick some serious dealer butt… They'll wish they never been born. Don't mess with our brother Eric… Chrysler! Hope you're having a great weekend and take care.. peace out ✌️
I have been using the autel ms906 pro for about 5 months now, I bought the oscilloscope with it and absolutely love it.
Electric car pandemic lol. Great diagnostics Eric. Cheers from Ausrtalia
For discussion purposes…. Silly question. If this was your vehicle, could you simply abandon the faulty PCB relay and "Scab in " an external relay in its place? Your skills as a diagnostician, high level Jedi stuff
