picked up the new switch, took all the boxes out of the way under the dash and removed the dashboard - how do you get to this thing to swap it out? are they bolts, screws or nuts attaching it, maybe i can feel it out. thanks for any help, davehoose

89 xj 4.0 aw4 laredo the other day i made a 40 mile highway drive. as i was reaching my destination, the ac and radio stopped working, then started working again for about a minute then stopped for good. all the ignition on items stopped working, i.e., horn, blower, turn signals, radio etc...

I have the 89 laredo with the "Jenson" speaker system. The tweeters still work and I've replaced the door speakrs but have rot on the tailgate speakers and want to replace them. Does anyone have specs on the size I need or a knowledge of what will fit without modifications? I don't need anything...

this happened to my 89 renix and i found that the grommet on the cable to the throttle was split and hanging up the cable so the gas was artificially accelerated. i duct taped the sucker down and that took care of that (for now). Eventually I will probably grab one from the autozoo. just a...

This happened with my 89 xj and upon my safety inspection it was found that the left front axle was going. Not an easy job, I left it to the mechanics!

I had a similar problem and changed the transfer case fluid and bam! It shifted flawlessly from 2 to 4pt, 4ft and 4low! Just a thought....

I have an 89 laredo with excellent air (including rear air) but heat is intermittent at best. all hoses seem to work but i don't have heat or cruise control. i think it's related but don't know. clues? more info i-6 with aw4 and 4wd and power everything but the seats

Well I broke the 90 degree fitting as i pulled off the hose, it was extremely brittle! Anyone know if this is a parts place replacement or if i'm stuck going to a junk yard? Is it held in from the inside of the valve cover?

silly question, but it there a pcv valve in the front of the valve cover??

i had this problem with my 89 xj aw4. changed the fluid (dex II) in the transfer case and it worked fine with the lights going part or full time. just a thought

89 xj 4.0 98,000 miles (i don't go anywhere) Laredo aw4 Renix Started running rough intermittently and I decided to pull the distributer cap, even though I'd just tuned it up 2 months ago. Found oil in the top of the distributer. Sucked it out with a wet vac, cleaned up the rotor and put it...

My 89 4.0 aw4 4x4 runs great until it gets cold or wet, particularly wet. At this point it runs horrible, like it has bad gas, stutters and backfires. I tried unplugging all the weather packs and cleaning with electronic cleaner and lubing with dielectric grease. any clues?

I'm told that the power booster does not require a brake bleeding, only the master cylinder. Do you know if this is so? I'm thinking of going one of two ways, autozone has the power booster in stock at my local location, but i have to mail order the master cylinder. If i mail order the whole...

Well i've searched and searched, read over 500 posts and not found an answer to my problem! I have an 89 cherokee laredo 4.0 aw4 with 98,000 supposed miles that i've owned since last december. Recently i found a wire that was not connected to the master cylinder that i assume was the brake...

sorry to hijack, but have a similar problem but may not be related. A couple weeks ago i found a plug next the master cylinder that wasn't plugged in so i plugged it in to see what happened. nothing, at first. i don't know if it's related but i have less and less brakes, need to push harder and...
