1995 XJ 2-door with cheap 2.5 in lift and 30"s from a PO. Mostly a daily/work vehicle. New adjustable track bar and parts ended up with a good alignment and decent ride. It's always had steering that was vague on center, but since I've been doing a bit more off-road I thought it was time to...

95 XJ 4.0, auto. I don't drive this much when salt is on the road but use it mostly for hauling and local work. I was starting to get hot readings when pushing it (like going up a long hill). Gauge would read between 210 and the next hash mark, sometimes touch it. Never pushed it into the...

Sorry, when it's in reverse, it looks as if it's in park.

My 1995 XJ 2-door was bought with a cheap 3in. lift. Somehow when installing it the PO didn't re-adjust the shifter. When in reverse, it almost shows that it's in drive. This also screws with the neutral safety switch. I have to click it out of park and halfway into Reverse in order to...

Glad to be back on the board with a new-to-me 1995 2-door auto. Previous owner did some strange stuff, working it out now. He had someone look at the blower which was not working, and I'm not sure if they tried to fix the relay or not, but their solution was just to bypass the motor...

My airbag light is always on and cruise control stopped working. I'm pretty sure this means the clockspring is dead. So it seems there are different clocksprings for different years. Can anyone show me where to find a part number for a 97 with cruise control? Also- not sure if they're...

1t's a 97, if that helps.

After a few months at the dealer for a recall, I was having some hesitation and starting problems. I've had to "cycle the key" for a while, and figured the fuel pump might finally be on it's way out. Tested with a fuel pressure gauge, and with the old pump it would take a while to get up to...

So I dropped the tank and replaced the fuel pump following instructions here: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/fuel-filter-pump-replacement-97s-up-138580/ Worked just fine, except the Bosch pump had a slightly different fuel "sock" design to filter. Everything went back together and once...

Searched and couldn't find a good writeup of this. My passenger airbag deployed, which led to a convoluted 2-month recall annoyance. Now that my jeep's back, I'd like to replace the passenger airbag, and hopefully turn off the "airbag" light in the dash. I'd like to do this by tearing...

Yep. I'm still in the area- I may take you up on that. I did check the fuel pump pressure using the loaner from autozone. Here's what I found: 1. When I turn the key to on, no pressure builds until I try to start it- Is that normal? 2. When I try to crank it, the pressure builds, but very...

Generally I wouldn't be surprised if the exhaust manifold was cracked. The only thing is that it showed none of these symptoms before heading into the dealer. I have done all my own work for the past 7 years on this, but had no fuel/exhaust issues like this- ran pretty well. So- next...

So I had an unintended airbag deployment, so I took it in for the module recall work (Recall ID # 8066) and they also did the fuel system level recall at the same time ( Recall ID # 12355). First- It took them 2 months (!) to do the recall, and over 20 calls to them...

I just checked and there was a recall for the airbag module in 2000: So if I check in with my local dealer will they fix this? I'm thinking they should replace my airbag and windshield too. . . Anybody have experience on this one?:dunno: Here's the recall: Original Recall from the NHTSA...

So I've been having the speedometer periodically not work for the past few years, but lately it got worse. So I thought I'd do a little diagnosis. Thought I would check the dash connection first. So I did the diagnostic- put the key in, pushed the trip meter and turned the key to "run" and. ...
