Hello,
 
I have a 96 JGC w/126k, lately it has been hesitating while i am driving. It feels as though the car wants to cut out. My speed decreases when this occurs. I have been to two mechanics neither found a problem (plus the car didn't do what i am experiencing while they had it) I have no indicator lights to identify that there is a problem. I see that quite a few JGC owners do experience similar scenarios such as mines but i haven't gotten a grasp on what cause the hesitation. If you have any ideas or suggestion please let me know.....

I don't know whether you had the problem solved yet, But my daughters Blower Motor stopped also. Put in for repair at DarCars Marlow Heights, MD and was charged $349.00 to replace a short wire harness and the motor relay, all which can be done by anyone with little experiance. The parts can be purchased for less than $100.00. Items are just under the Glove Box. Do it yourself, Don't get ripped-off by the dealer.

I am experiencing the exact same problem with my 2000 jgc. I went threw all of the fuses found that one was shot but that was it. Have you figured out what is the cause yet? please write back if you have.

#1754 of 5133 New Tranny and Radiator - Am I getting ripped off? by gr8fldave1

Aug 08, 2005 (2:51 pm)

So I need a new transmission and radiator for my 96 4.0 6-Cyl Grand Cherokee Laredo.
  
The guy is quoting me $2,100 for a new transmission, $700 for new radiator and hoses, and labor brings the whole thing to $3,800. Does this seem s abit steep?

My wifes fan (1999 Grand Cherokee Ltd) just quit also. I ran power directly to the fan and it does work so I suspect from what's in my Haynes manual that it's the blower motor resistor. Problem is my shop manual covers years 1993 - 2000 and the illustration for the
blower fan doesn't match the one in our Jeep.
 
Do you by any chance know how to identify the blower motor resistor? I really hate to remove the wrong part.
 
Thanks,
 
Peter

Tranny sounds like a rebuilt for $2,100.
I paid $250 (?) for a radiator but I changed it myself. It can be a messy job. I think I'd get a second opinion if you can.

The answer to your question is a BIG YES. I can't for the likes of me see why Chrysler doesn't acknowledge they have a larger problem on their hands instead of not recognizing this. For one they have a serious problem with their tail lights. I'll bet you have seen many Jeep GCL with one or the other tail lights out. Cause, moisture getting in on the circuit wafer board causing corrosion, I simple found a piece of thin wire hammered it flat and glue it over the damaged area and it hasn't stopped working yet, been seven months now.
The blower problem is two fold. If you get no blowing from the vents/motor then its the resistor located in clear view when looking up at the motor from under the glove box. If you just get blowing air from just one side of the dual set-up then its the Blend Box $980.00 without warranty/$175.00 with warranty.

Did your problem get solved? I have the same problem. I had the vehicle tested at the dealership, it showed crank sensor but I have a friend with a 94 Jeep grand cherokee, he has replaced the sensor and the problem continues.
 
Please let me know how you have made out.

Well believe it or not,after testing the Battery and charging the battery for three hours, I came to the conclusion the battery was reading 13.5 volts on my tester but I didn't get the ample amps necessary from the battery. Replaced the Mopar battery with a 1000cold cranking 850 cranking amp battery and she starts everytime. No more gauges gone crazy, power windows, locks; everything works as normal.
 
Go figure...
