Hey guys, I just picked up an 89 Cherokee this past weekend. This is my first Jeep.
Someone has gone in and hacked up all the electrical under the dash, and installed some nice toggle switches. Not that I don't like toggle switches, but I would like to take some of these back to stock, perhaps then I would be able to have blinkers. If any of you guys have some linkage to some wiring Diagrams would be awesome, I just saw a post for cruise diagrams.
Second thing, the brakes are, well...horrible. I was able to drive it home, and when I went to stop, I applied the brakes to the floor and had minimal results. I plan on tearing down all 4 wheels and doing a break job this weekend, but could this be the booster? The Pedal feels spongy, so there may just be air in the lines.
I saw a few pics of some Vacuum lines, does anyone have a more detailed pic of the "junction" near the breather box, as my '89 has a lot of these lines either cut or just not spliced, hooked up, that too will give me hours of fun working outside.
Last but not least in my epic quest to spend large quantities of money, the steering column is...loose. If I push on the top of the steering wheel, towards the wind screen, the whole column moves, even the part below the adjustable knuckle. Again, I haven't crawled up under the dash to see if there actually is anything loose. I just wanted to toss this grenade of questions and see if I could have a better list of places to start, rather then getting in and then asking questions.
Thanks in advance for help, flames, sarcasm, and good ol' fashioned insults.
