So, many years ago, I had a 1989 XJ, which I had for a few years. I gave it to my girlfriend, we broke up, that was about seven years ago..... Her son calls me up and says- " Hey, do you want to buy a Jeep for $1000?" I say sure......
So I picked it up today, and it brings back a bunch of memories.... I have had a few XJ's in the past, and still have my WJ and WK2.
So, this one has the typical issues, need to fix headliner, flush coolant, etc....
Besides some other minor issue, I need to address a few things that I have not done before, so maybe you can point me in the right direction....
1. AC was working years ago.....but now the AC is not coming on, and the electric fan does not come on when I hit AC, so thinking it's relay or pressure issue? Any good links to what to check? Could it just be relay?
2.The ignition key cylinder starts the car with or without the key. I got one key from him, so not sure if its the right one or not. I does unlock the front door. I thought these things had a round key for the door, and square key for the ignition, but I am older now, so maybe I am wrong? Either way, how do I replace the key cylinder with a real key?
3.Stupid clock light not working, is it a fuse or does the bulb go bad? I think I remember changing a bulb in those years ago.....
Anyway, any advice would be appreciated, and I am sure I will have more questions, Still, a old xj with 170K miles seems like another project, not sure what I am going to do with it, but figured I should get some things sorted out.....
Thanks is advance for your advice........
