Hey XJ’ers,
I have a problem with my Air Conditioning
Here’s my story:
I realized AC didn’t work when I bought my XJ.
Got the Fryon charged. That fixed it temporarily. Blowing Cold Air for a very short time. $70.00 later. It stopped blowing cold air. Next place said, Aluminum tubing down the firewall. Tested. Leaking fryon thru ducting. Replaced. Air conditioning working. $272 dollars. Then 5 miles away. Stopped working. Bump in road, working. Smelling bad odor. Burning. I went to a Jeep dealer. Bad compressor. I went to Pep boys. Put a new compressor in. bad smell again. BAD Compressor. Have another Compressor. Ordered two of them. Drove away with it working and blowing Very cold air so I shut it off. When I was driving the lights went off in the XJ and had to jump start the XJ.
$1200 dollars, 2 compressors, aluminum ducting, a fryon charge later… NO A/C.
After the A/C stopped working, my fog lights stopped working. My windows on the passanger and backseats don’t work. Is there any correlation between these and the A/C?
Are there technical service bulletins (TSB’s) on the 2000 Jeep Cherokee A/C system?
What are some possible problems with my XJ? Do you think it’s electrical?
Thanks for any advice!
