    Check gauges light - then power lost

    I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee with 190K miles on it. Great vehicle, unfortunately full of rust. Anyway, it did something odd today - The Check Gauges light came on and the Volt meter pegged to the right. I drove it to my destination and stopped and shut it off. I noticed that the power door locks...

    Replacing heater core

    My 1999 XJ has a leaky heater core. As far as I can tell it has leaked for years. When I first got it turning on the heater turned the inside of the Jeep into a cloud, lots of condensation. And the floors got visibly wet. Determining that this is the issue I bypassed the heater lines. The floors...

    Bypassing AC Compressor

    I have a 1999 Cherokee Sport. The AC compressor is starting to make some noise. Couple questions: 1. Is the AC compressor rebuildable? 2. How can I run the Jeep while the compressor is off? I am hoping there is a belt that routes without the compressor. Thank YOu, Sammer

    Electrical Gremlins, Left side lights blow fuses

    Hello, I own a 99 Cherokee Sport. It originally had 180K plus miles, I bought it with a blown motor in it and replaced the motor. The left side lights did not work (tail light, side marker, etc). I noticed the guy before me had put a 15Amp fuse into the 10Amp socket and it was blown. I...

    Drive with dying power steering pump or remove belt

    99 Cherokee. Stuck in a shopping center parking lot about 5 miles from home. Power steering pump out, it turns but I can see the pulley moving around (bad bearings) and making a heck of a racket. My question is: 1. Do I try to drive it home (65 mph) with the power steering like it is and hope...

    Loose steering

    I have a 1999 Cherokee with 180K+ on the body. The steering feels ok, but the vehicle tends to wonder. I have replaced most of the front steering components - ties rods and tie rod ends, stabilizer shock. It seems like it is in the steering box. Does that sound like where you would look...

    Drip Edge

    Hello, I just bought a 99 XJ that has certainly been well used. One thing that I have never seen before is that on the drivers side the drip edge looks like bare, sharp metal, like a cover piece is missing. The other side looks like it has some sort of a cover over that (as does every other...

    Dashboard Gauges Stopped Working

    Hello, I own a 99 Cherokee, it was in an accident that destroyed the front sheetmetal. I bought another 99 with a blown motor and put my motor into it. Everything was good, I have been driving it for about a week. Last night while driving home the dash froze up on me - the speedo and tach...

    Looking for advice on pulling motor

    Hi, I have a 98 XJ Sport that was recently in an accident that took out the front pretty bad. I found a 99 XJ Classic that looks real nice but spun a rod bearing. I am planning on pulling the motor from the 98, replacing the rear main seal and placing it into the 99. I have done engine pulls...

    Installing a 99 WJ Information Center into an XJ

    How hard would it be to add and wire a "Information Center" (compass, thermometer, trip odometer, mpg display) from a 99 WJ into a 98 XJ? I guess I am hoping it would one of those "common wiring harness just not plugged in" type answers. Thanks, Sammer

    Grand Cherokee seats into a Cherokee Sport

    Hello, I have the opportunity to pick up a nice interior (seats) from a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis Edition. Will this setup work in my 98 Cherokee Sport. I know there will be some wiring to do as far as the power options, but will the seats bolt in? Or, is this a common upgrade for XJs and...

    Low profile tires causing rough ride

    I have a 98 Cherokee. I just rebuilt the front end, new steering arm, tie rod ends, stabalizer shock, alignment, etc. Then I put on a set of wheels I bought on craigslist, real nice 17" rims. It looks really sharp, but the ride is very stiff. I assume it is because of the low profile tires...

    Death wobble

    1998 Cherokee Sport, 150K Miles, totally stock. There is a ramp in my town where there is a transition from concrete to asphault with a large bump while turning. Going over it at about 70 to 75 the steering wheel shuck violently for a couple seconds. I figured something was loose in the front...

    front wheels shake hardc when hitting a bump at speed

    I have a 98 xj 4.0 with approximately 150K miles. I have noticed for a while that when I hit a bump at speed (as in a bump in an entrance ramp doing 65 to 70) that the steering wheel will pick up a shaking for a couple seconds and then it will go away. But it seems to be getting worse. The other...
