2000 jeep grand cherokee air conditioning

I was driving home in my 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited and all of a sudden my ac started blowing warm air. when i got home and looked under the hood the main belt was smoking where it was touching what i believe is the air conditioning unit. now the ac won't blow cold air and there's a faint burnt rubber/plastic smell. does my a/c just need recharged? please help!

    is it safe to drive my vehicle at this point as long as i don't use my a/c? where would you recommend me taking the a/c to get fixed?

    i wouldnt drive it to far the pulley could lock up and the belt would be ruined and it might also throw the belt,which means you would lose your power steering,charging system,cooling system,take it to a local shop with a good reputation,hope this helps

How do i replace/install a heater core for a 1999 limited edition jeep cherokee 4.0 liter 6cyclinder

I would make sure the core is the problem. You may have a heater control valve that cuts off flow to the core by vac. or a blend door that cuts off air flow thru the core.
You will need a shop manual to replace the core. The dash and console have to come out, along with discharging the ac.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo ac not cooling

My 1999 limited does this. When i bought it off the guy he said that its because of some flap down by the passengers left foot. In mine the passenger air barely even blows because of this.

2000 grand cherokee overheating heater blowing out cold air

Generally this condition is the result of coolant loss, or failed thermostat. If coolant goes below cylinder head level, or thermostat remains closed,heat will stop working. Do not drive with this condition as excessive heat buildup in cylinder head can and will do serious damage to heads and or head gasket.
Find out where leak is and correct it. Change thermostat as it may also be damaged. Check for excessive steam from tailpipe or miss in engine, as these symptoms indicate a cylinder head problem.
