I have a 98 and even when new, the compressor would cycle (as it was designed to do). When it did, the headlights would blink dim and I could feel just the slightest engine skip. I did install a switch as referenced above to help improve gas mileage and remove the annoyance. I turn the switch...

I'll try to be concise! 98 Cherokee Upcountry 4L, part-time 4x4. 116k miles Took Jeep in for NH annual inspection after having done some welding with the battery disconnected. Passed all, except computer hadn't "relearned" Drove ~ 15 miles and when braking for a left turn 1 mile from home...

All of the above is correct. But not mentioned so far is the fact that the AM/FM antenna cable is high impedance. Unless very sophisticated tuning using the antenna cable as an impedance transformer is performed, you can't get the required 50 ohm load for the CB----and even if you did then the...

Just changed out my 15" ECCO wheels for steel wheels. ECCOs weigh 19.5 lbs +/- a lb. Steel wheels weighed 24 lbs.

I too live in snow country and have considered all the above. My biggest complaint is that it becomes very difficult to clean off a foot of snow with the wiper arms only a few inches from the windshield. Good question and if anyone finds replacement arms that will pivot out 90 degrees, please...

One caution on these wheels if you live in a "salted road" environment. These wheels oxidize and tire beads won't seal. On my 98 Up Country Classic, the beads started leaking last year and now I have 3 leaking. I have found a local shop that has a spinning machine with stone grinders but it...

98 Classic Up-Country with BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A 30x9.5R15LT'S MOUNTED ON standard oem 15x7 Aluminum "Ecco" wheels. Background: Two wheels developed slow leaks. Tire man said Oh, thats common on Cherokees and didn't even try to check them for leaks, just took them off, lubed the beads...

Trickle charge??? What do you suppose happens when your 60+ amp alternator fires up after engine cranking an extra long time on a sub-zero morning? I realize this is not the same situation as trying to reactivate a deeply discharged, battery that has been idle for a long time but, in general...

Hi Wim, I did exactly that on my 98 cherokee because I could not stand the dimming lights and slight hesitation every time the A/C came on. Dealer told me they did that so no moisture would be blown on the windshield during defrost and I think...how did we ever get by for 50 years before...

Don't know about the clicking but the pas window operation from the drivers side only is a fairly common problem. The cause is usually in the drivers side control unit. Do a search, this problem has been discussed before. As stated above, check for the green light on the pas door. No light...

Brakes...98 Classic Up Country, 112k. If its any consolation, my jeep has been doing that on the left rear wheel for approx 70k. Started only after haven been driven an hour and on a left turn after a stop. Dealer also said everything was fine and I can't find anything either . It has...

Thanks very much Dave. My faith in NAXJA is restored. I sent you a PM with a fax number. bar

Please, doesn't anyone out there have information on testing the Leak Detector Pump and Sense Switch on a 98 Classic HO-6? I have FSM and it refers to "Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures Service Manual for testing. I would/will buy this manual if I can find it. DC does not show it in its...
