The wife's 99 XJ. Started life in the military (sort of). Came from Redstone Arsenal (Army base in Alabama). Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center in regards to a build sheet for your 1999 Jeep Cherokee. We are pleased to provide vehicle build information per your...

Just in case anybody finds this in a search: Yes, it works great. So far I've only replaced the driver's front because, well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Bolts right in like it came with factory pdl. If you go to a salvage yard ask them cut the wire so you end up with the plug and you...

My wife's 99 XJ was an ex-military special with manual doors. When she bought it we paid a guy to install aftermarket keyless entry/ power door locks. Worked great (better than my 98 with factory pdl as far as range) for 5 years, but recently one of the aftermarket actuators has started...

My wife's 99 still has a distributor and plug wires. Also, she has normal black flares. The 99 did get the improved intake manifold though. So I would say 99 is the best. Avoids the head issues of the 2000's, last year of the HP30, and gets the good intake. As far as I know, the later...

On a whim, I decided to hook the horn leads back up today regardless of the meter reading which was: key off........0.xx V (not 12.6 like last night) key on.........9.8V (still like last night) and to my surprise the horn didn't sound. Pulled it back off and checked it with a meter; it was...

Replaced the ignition switch. Couldn't remove the airbag, didn't have the right size socket on hand. No luck, but oddly: Key off.........12.6V Key on and other positions..............9.4V Key on and depress horn button..........12.6V Horn not "off" in any position. If it's not the ignition...

Not the remote entry module either. Unhooked it, horn still getting 12.6 volts in the off position.

It is definitively not the relay. What do I look for when I take apart the column? What do I do about the airbag? Got the meter out: key off................horn on key on................horn off Key acc..............horn off Key running.........horn off Where is the horn switch? Is it part...

I haven't done any work to the jeep since I replaced the plugs a month ago. I've never done anything to the column. It doesn't have an overhead console, just the interior light "pod". Is there something behind that? There do not appear to be any leaks on the roof, the headliner is dry. I...

Weirdest thing... 1:00 a.m., I've been home for 3 hours and in bed for 2. The Jeep is in the driveway locked for 3 hours. Suddenly I hear a car horn on constantly. It's been raining here today so I check the local channels to see if it is a weather siren or something. Nope. Check out front...

Round 5: Took everything back apart, sanded the contact surfaces on the caliper to remove any built up funk from successive disc brake quiet applications, lubed all of the caliper slides as well as caliper bolts with synthetic grease, sanded the pads, generously sprayed everything down with...

They were/are the highest grade OEM type pad for the XJ at O'Reilly's (Wagner ThermaQuiet, I think BestBrake is their discount line) first and now Advance Auto Parts (Bendix, I believe WearEver is their discount brand).

Over the past 6 months I have done (and redone) the front brakes on my fiance's 99 XJ 4 times. At the time of the initial brake job I also did an identical brake job to my 98 XJ (except Bendix instead of Wagner because Advance was closer to the house) and have had zero issues. Plus I have done...

Update: Today the gauge dropped again, not to zero, but idle at ~10 and cruising at ~30. Pulled into a parking lot, popped the hatch, grabbed my mechanical gauge out of the back, and swapped them out. As suspected, 25psi idle 62.5psi under throttle. So I decided to replace the sending unit...

Around here O'Reilly Auto Parts sells center pins. They're pretty cheap too, like a couple of dollars. They're extra long, you just cut them to the correct length. Most of the time the idiot at the counter won't know what the hell you're talking about, but they're back in the back with the...

Okay, on the lowest resistance setting (200) it reads 00.3 This is also the setting that emits a tone when there is continuity, and it does emit an unbroken tone. Apparently the 7.2 was a product of my inability to simultaneously position the leads on the contacts, turn my head to the display...

It's a cheap Wal-Mart digital (not exactly a Fluke, but it seems to serve my purpose, I wouldn't stand a chance with an analog meter- too many scales on one display)... and thanks.

I know the intake is different, but beyond that I have no clue.

Update: This morning I confirmed my meter readings in the daylight. 5 volts still consistent, however I was able to get my ohms down somewhat by scratching around (since I could see what I was doing this time around). I reinstalled the sender and bent the prongs in the plug. One of the prongs...
