Sorry, fat fingers. Its a Renix, 1989 Very use to the 242, since I have one in my WJ, and tried to switch the switch, but it's in different location with different electrical connections.

Interesting, I will take the switch out and try it. As I recall when I was testing it yesterday, I had the switch out and I grounded the outside of the switch to the body, and the Full Time light illuminated. But I will check it again..,,,, I did compare the switch that came out with the new...

So working on my 1998 XJ with a 242 TC and I have a few questions: I can't seem to easily get it back into 2WD, and I have tried adjusting the linkage, but maybe I am doing it wrong. Got it into 2wd Low, and loosened the bolt and held the shift inside all the way back, but still won't go into...

Cool, thanks for the links and the advice. Will try to spray some lube in and see what happens, but looks easy enough to change out. Took a quick look at the AC and shorted out the pressure switch and the compressor started, so at least that works. Might of lost all it's refrigerant, or maybe...

Cool, Thanks for the input.... Will check relay, as I sure I have some around here. As I recall, I can swap one of the other relays for testing the circuit? I have been checking out YouTube for the key switch replacement. Looks like the steering wheel needs to come off. Kinda PITA, but doable...

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...

Thanks for the input. I just crimped them, and I will take off the hatch and lube up the actuator and lock. I don't see any difference with the motor run. I have used the red wire in the door before, and worked fine. Maybe I should go back and solder them.... I was thinking of the Bulldog...

Howdy, Happy New Year to all you xj folks out there. I had some time at work today, so I thought I would do the Greg Smith update to my '90 XJ door locks. I have had success with doing it on my '89 and other XJ's so, I thought it would be quick thing to do at work while it was slow. Got...

I have them on my '04 WJ, as a studded winter tire. Love them. On my second season, and they look like new. Noisy, but they have studs! Waiting for my Silent Armors to wear out on my xj to get them on my rig, same with my ZJ. Nice tire.....

Mustang II, Now that's funny........ There will never be another xj, but I love my ZJ and WJ, and really want a new Grand Cherokee.......

We'll get a better idea of what's in store for the Jeep Liberty on Wednesday. That's when Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is set to visit the Toldeo, Ohio, plant that builds the Liberty. Marchionne is expected to lay out plans to replace the Liberty with a new vehicle that uses a...

So, I actually took my 1990 XJ with a 4.0 with 168K on it, to the dealer and had the oil changed on one of their specials. They used the factory oil filter, and oil pressure seem fine. Let the car sit for a week or so, and it's been cold, then when I started it, the motor started to tick, like...

Thanks for the responses I did "burp" the system when I replaced the fan switch in the radiator. I feel much heat in the radiator when I put my hand on it. I just think it's weird that something has changed since the xj has been sitting for while. Maybe just a timing thing.......... I will...

So, my 1990 cherokee is acting up, and it looks like I need a new radiator. But I had a thermostat question. A little background, this XJ hardly got used during the summer, as I have other things to drive. The XJ has always ran cool, where ever I went, including freeway, but if I went to a drive...

I can highly recommend the Goodyear Silent Armour and the DuraTrac I run the Silent Armour on my XJ and ZJ, and just got rid of the crappy Firestones that were on my WJ, went with the DuraTrac with studs, and Silent Armour for street use. These tires are way better than the RTS, as they are a...

So, Local shops have a OEM radiator for about $110 and the good one at radiator barn is about $240, so that is a option. What is the best way to get rid of air in the radiator? When I took off the sensor in the radiator, I removed the the upper radiator hose from the thermostat and poured...

One other thing, I did take the old sensor and did the stove test, and it did switch on and off, so I wasted $20 on a sensor.... This rig has not be used very often over the past 5 months, as I have a couple other Jeeps and I use this as a ski Jeep. Last winter and summer, it always ran cooler...

Cool, Thanks for the advice. I assume this is the original radiator, as everything looks original, so it most likely should just be replaced. Do many folks have much luck flushing it out? I would guess I could try flushing it with out removing it from the rig...... Is it possible that there...

OK, So, it sounds like the relay is working if the tests worked. How do you fix a clogged radiator? Or do I just need to replace it? Thanks, Bob;)

I did take apart the regulator and cleaned of the metal coil and lubed it up, and it seems to be ok, now just need to re-install it Might need to lube up the other windows!!!! Thanks, Bob
