Where is the jiggle valve on a Jeep Cherokee?
The jiggle valve's a small hole on the thermostat itself (not a separate part). It's merely there to help free the system of trapped air. Follow the hose from the top of the radiator to the motor and you should find the thermostat housing. Removing the housing will reveal the thermostat and at the top of the Tstat should be a small hole -- that would be the jiggle valve (if your thermostat actually has one).

Most thermostats have a Jiggle pin. Its function is to allow trapped air past a closed thermostat as a build up of air in front of the wax capsule could cause engine damage.

If air was surrounding the capsule and the engine was at operating temperature, the stat would remain closed and cause the engine to overheat.

What is a thermostat jiggle pin?
The Jiggle pin allowes any trapped air behind the thermostat to pass through. Without this the engine could overheat. The thermostat uses engin coolant to melt a wax capsule and allow coolant to pass. The engin could be at operating temp and the thermostat would not open due to air being in contact with the capsule instead of the actual coolent. This would most likely lead to an overheating engin, and damage.
