I recently replaced the crankshaft posittion sensor on a 96 cherokee 4.0 to cure a no spark condition. Found that taking the front driveshaft lose and holding it out of the way with bailing wire was well worth the extra effort. I could actually reach the bolts with both fingertips with one arm in the engine compartment and one arm coming up from the transmission side.

99 Cherokee electrical issues (still) by kbk55

My 99 Cherokee limited has had perpetual electrical issues since I bought it 4 years ago. I love this vehicle but have got to figure out the problem or it has to go. Sometimes the speedometer and tach go out, sometimes all gauges go out. (The gauge cluster and harness have been replaced). The "outage" may last for a few seconds to a few hours. Sometimes the odometer catches up, sometimes it does not. Last week put me over the edge - it would start but died immediately - during which the gauges did not move at all. I left it in the parking garage at work overnight - next day it started like nothing ever happened and has run fine since. The local jeep dealer says they can't tell whether or which harness might be bad. I suppose it is not in their best interest to figure it out. Help please.

Has anyone checked the ignition switch? That is what comes to mind first with me. Steve and Tidester? Any input? Good luck!

I agree. The ignition switch is one element common to all the symptoms. Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems may be helpful.

Differential Problems 02 Grand Cherokee by jackattack

Please someone help me...
Recently I had my front drive line removed from the quadra-track 02 jeep. My problem was whenever i turned a corner in the jeep it would make a grinding noise and it sounded horrible. The mechanics told me i had metal pieces in my front differential and the best and cheapest way to fix it was to remove this drive line....
Now it sucks because i dont have 4wh drive anymore and if feel this is a safety issue. The mechanics also told me that the quada-track system isn't strong enough to take it off roading in the sand and that thats why it was tearing up the front diff.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Man, you need to find a new mechanic!
I'm not all that famaliar with the 02's but that sounds like a front axle CV joint that's bad. Assuming your truck has CV joints and not U-joints, the first thing I would look at is the rubber boots on the CV joints to see if they're ripped or torn. If you get dirt or water in the CV joints, they will go bad quickly.

two sugestions on your leaky anti-freeze filled grand cherokee..
1-autozone.com..loin,select your car,and their website has a online manual!..a great find,i use a lot!..it's not always as thourogh as i'd like sometimes,but will still usually give you a idea of what's what-especially the funnest part of auto repair-under the dash ! ! also,you can shop for the replacement parts-price for your rig..
--2--try a tube of alumaseal in the coolant..it comes in a tube,about the size of a roll of quarters..only open the radiator cap when your system is cold,otherwise it will erupt like a sience class volcano-probably scalding you..push down,and-like a child proof asprin bottle-there is a safety catch,so ya gotta click about a quarter turn-1/4..
pour in thepowder,refill with the proper mix,as pure anti-freeze WILL freeze ! !
do NOT add the sealer into the reserve bottle..it will only plug the line to your radiator..take it for a hour drive..to get rid of the anti-freeze smell quicker,flush the air intake of your car with water..it's the grill under the wipers under the windshield..it'll also clear out the drain,or let you know if you've got a plugged drain
-the stop leak might save you from having to replace the heater core !..now-wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?? and,if not,ya gave it a good try!..best of luck ! !
