Hello all, this is my first post and first XJ.
I have wanted an XJ for years and finally picked up a white 99 limited with 114K. Ironically I was at Advanced Auto Parts dropping off a coil compressor for the 3" Rough Country lift I just put on. I left the car running (My girl was with me) and ran inside to drop off the coil compressor. I was in there for about 15 minutes and as soon as I backed out of the parking spot I stalled out. My XJ would not start after and all the gauges went dead. I immediately hopped on the internet to find a ton of information about the subject. I have done almost everything suggested to fix the problem with no luck and its snowing in MD today. The first thing I did was check all fuses and relays, replaced the CPS with a dealer part, refreshed all the grounds with my Dremel, cleaned all my electrical connections with electrical cleaner and high pressure air, reseated the instrument cluster with dielectric grease, and even replaced the PCM/ECM!!!. All my electrical connections in the cabin and in the engine bay where spotless and had no corrosion anywhere. I did buy the replacement electrical connector for the gauge cluster but did not put it on due to the fact it was in excellent condition. What am I missing? This is my daily driver and I have no wheels
Please help!!!
