1990 with 261,678 still going and going and going

After MUCH searching and looking and tracing and ... I think I found the problem. Starter solenoid sticking. Had every thing disconnected from the starter relay. Only the starter hooked to the battery. I decided to see if the old girl would turn over, so I jumped the solenoid. To my...

Well I can see this is going to be real bear to find. I’m thinking of going with an easy replacement, like an in line fuse, until I find the problem. I need to know what the amperage of the fuse link is, in order to put an inline fuse in. Putting an inline with a lot of replacements fuses...

Well I got dome lights, so it must be the the 18 ga (split) that feeds the Ignition switch, ECM, etc. Now that has me really confused. If that burnt while the engine was running, I would think that it would kill the engine right then and there. Is there something running after I turn off the...

Fuse links are on the passanger side right behind the battery under that cover. They are just in front of the 4 relays. They are green, ornge, blue etc and they connect to the bigger red wires. They appear to be tied to a post that the positive battery cable goes to. Don't know where any...

Ok: Something’s frying a fuse link. Here is the problem. 90, 4.0 L, with A/C Week ago alternator froze up and popped the serpentine belt. Replaced Alt. Ran fine, charges battery at 14 volts. 2 days latter wife takes it to work, goes to come home, Nothing, after some...

OK did a search. Just what are the symptoms of a failed TQ, Noises etc, Here is what I got 90 xj, 4L, with 249000 miles, stock,( no lift or any thing) Think this problem started with a "Bump" when shifting in to rev. at startup. (thought it was the drum brakes releasing "obviously bad...

Well found what might be the problem. The yoke on the differential has a broken tab (or ear) that holds the bearing cup in place. Took a wire brush and looked it over real good. Next question. What do I have to watch for when I get another one (for instance are there different lengths, etc?)...

Nope no lift, everything is stock as far as I know. 4.0 L / automatic. I don't think I got an SYE eather since I don't know what that is. Good question thou about long enough. I'll have to check that out. On another thread someone said that a Dana 35 D/S is 5/8" longer. But I would think...

Today was the third time that I've thrown a drive shaft in the last five months. Rear U-joints are starting to become expensive. 90 xj with 245000 miles. This is my DD so any advice or ideas would be helpful. No I am not using u-bolts I'm using those little tab thingies. Luckily, I have a...

So that's what they look like under all that grunge.

Ok! This was just a learning experance for me. Had the wife drive the XJ to work yesterday morning. Got a call about 45 min. after she left, here she was at work with the XJ settting along side the freeway. Some nice policeman took her to work. Reason I'm telling you all this is becuse my...

90 with 248K and still going strong. Wouldn't be afraid to go another 50k, which reminds me I better change the oil.

Sounds like the same prob. I had with mine. Took it to the dealer, he scanned it, bad O2 sensor humm!! who would have thought? Good luck
