I had the same thing happen to me last night. My lo beams would not come on so I had to drive with my hi beams on. When I got home I turned the light swirth on an off and on and off and on again. As luck would have it I lifted the steering wheel (tilt colum) and my lights came on. I now lowered...

Just went through that on my 95. Turned out to be a 15 amp fuse in the Power Distribution Block under the hood. It is the third fuse from the left in the row closest to the passenger side fender.I think it was Fuse Number 15. Fuse Number 11 is for the Fog Lights!

You should be more specific as to your question. I don't see any missing fuses. Most likely cause for your AC not working is that it is low on freon. May also be a bad AC relay which is located under the hood on the passenger side in the Power Distribution Block. You will also find a fuse for...

2WD and 4WD rotors are not interchangeable. They are totally different.

I've replaced rockers on my old 87 (RIP) It wasn't that difficult. it just takes some time. I bought my new rockers from the Chrysler dealer and paid $53 Canadian for each. They fit perfectly and looked great. They outlasted the vehicle. It's worth the time and effort. Lots of drilling out spot...

Drill the head of with a 1/4 inch drill. Drill just enough for the head to pop off and then grab what's left with a pair of vice grips and turn it out.

Do yourself a favor and check the Torque Converter bolts before you get into it to deep!

Where I live none of the dealers have the equipment to scan the Renix System. The only one who had it was an old AMC Jeep dealer who no longer exists. The Chrysler dealers didn't see it fit to buy the Scan equipment so now we are on our own around here!

I have had this type of noise on an old 87 of mine. It turned out to be loose bolts on the torque converter. It's an easy fix once you get under the truck. The noise from the back could be a worn shock bushing, that's another one of my little annoyances that I have run into!

If you can pull the codes on my 89 you're a better man than I.

Where are you from Canadianwheeler. Please don't say Canada :(

I have an 89 that has 150k miles on it that runs like crap. Tempermental as can be. Have a 95 that has 218k miles and runs like a dream. My 2000 has 95k miles on it and runs like the day it was purchased. All in all I prefer the later XJ's over the old Renix machines. I have had my share of...

Where is this sensor located?

Some years back now, I don't remember how many I purchased a cupholder online. This is the one that sits on the console on top of the e-brake. Well it's in its 4th XJ now and still works like the day I bought it :) . Now that's getting a bang for your buck!

The trick to welding in sheet metal is to tack weld it in place at regular intervals and then go back and fill in the voids. You do not have to weld the entire seam. If you do weld the entire seam I would do it in short bursts. This will keep the weld from blowing thru the metal. I did not weld...

Not relevant to your inquiry but I just replaced both sides on my XJ. I used 18 gauge flat steel. Shaped the panels in a vice and cut to fit with a hand grinder with a cutting blade. Mig welded everything back into place and sealed the seams with a seam sealer then undercaoted it. It took a...

Just picked up a used handle at a pick your own wrecker for $2

Run a wire from the battery directly to the motor. If the motor runs your problem lies elsewhere. Did you have all three speeds on the motor prior to it quitting? If not your problem likely lies in the resistor pack which is located on the passenger side on the ducting for the heater. It takes a...

Have you checked the inline fuse for the TCU. It is located on the passenger side under the dash. It's easily identified by the heavy gauge bright yellow wire!

I have had a number of XJ's in my time and have had nothing but praise for them in the snow. I normally run Michelin LTX's. On my 89 I have Kelly AWR 32x11.5's and it handles and drives like crap in the snow. I would say your tires are your problem with the XJ.
