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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So, On my 1990 with a 4.0, the electric fan won't come on when the motor temp comes up over 220, but it works with the AC. I did install a new temp sensor in the radiator,and the fan comes on when I short the sensor lead. So, is it possible the relay is bad or the diode assembly is bad. I...

So, it died, well it makes a little sounds, like click I disconnected the drivers side window, and it still does nothing I am thinking of removing it and trying to rebuild it, and links or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob

Howdy, I have 1989 Xj with VERY slow drivers window, and I recall there was a writeup on fixing that with a #10 wire? I did a search, and the one I found had a bad link, to Jeepin' Joe. Anyone know where the information might be found? Thanks Bob

Howdy, I have a 4.0 1989 Renix XJ that has been giving me concern over it's cooling system. Since I have had this one, it has always run cool, like 140 degrees, and the electric fan works when I turn on the AC, so I know it works. However, if I sit at a drive up at afast food place, it will...

Howdy, Just got a 99 XJ for my son, and we are working through some of the bugs. I found the window lock out modification, which I will need to do, but one other thing that happens when you roll the drivers window up, it does not want to stop! Usually, when you roll the window up, it just stops...

Howdy, My 89 XJ needs new latches for the wing window. The drivers side was loose, and now it has fallen off!!! Any suggestions on where to buy these latches and how to put them on? Right now I have a nice round hole in my drivers side wing window!!!! Thanks,< Bob

Howdy and Happy New Year. So to make a long story short, when I bought my 89 XJ, it had a NP231 in it that the PO left dry, due to a bad output seal. I spent $100 on a use NP242, and had a Jeep guy put it in for me (another $75, but he had a lift!!!) The Jeep was fine last winter, with no real...

On my 89 XJ, I was working on feeding a new cruise control wire down the column, and now my brights switch and flash to pass does not work. Found a rod that I push on manually, and the brights come on. Where does that rod connect to the switch? Any pictures available??? Links? Thanks in...

Sorry, I tried to delete this......

Hi, Today when I went skiing, I was driving up the mountain, I was in 2wd, turned into the ski are parking lot, and pulled the handle to 4WD part time and it had no sound or anything, and the Jeep did not go into 4WD. Drove into the parking lot and nothing. Stayed in 2wd. Dropped it into 4WD...

So, On my 1989 XJ, which has cruise control, but the previous owner cut the wire coming out of the stalk, and the steering wheel is not on straight. My guess is that they thought they had a issue with the key switch ( which was actually the transmission position switch). I see the wheel comes...

Howdy, Awhile back, I posted some issues with a no start issue. I posted on the forum and got great input. I want to thank you for your help. I checked all the electrical parts, and could not get it to build fuel pressure, unless I shorted out the fuel pump relay, and let the fuel pump run for...

So,,, maybe someone can point me in the right direction..... As reported yesterday, I go out to my 89 Jeep 4.0, and it does not start!! I don't hear the fuel pump, so I check the relay, and switch them, still nothing, then I bypass the resistor, still nothing. I short the #30 & #87? terminal on...

Howdy, I went to start my 1989 XJ 4.0 and it cranks, but no start. Listen for the fuel pump, and nothing. So I swap the fuel pump relay with the one next to it, as it has the same diagram on the side, and still nothing. Get onto NAXJA forum, found the bypass for the relay, and short #30 & #87...
