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...

I love my Jeep. I have had it for about 6 months now and it has treated me well. I love the power and its abilites off-road. I was wondering if anyone has any information on what I may expect in the future. I am also planning on installing the following : Headers, Exhaust, Cold Air Intake, and a Power Chip to help improve it performance and sound. Does anyone have any info on this as well? Please help a concerned Jeep Owner. I want the best for my Jeep?

#1761 of 5134 Water in my transmission by milo4

Aug 09, 2005 (1:10 pm)

I just bought a 2005 JGC with a 3.7 liter and after less than a week (and under 500 miles) I began to have a a bucking feeling in the transmission when I cruised over 45 mph. The dealer told me that there was water in the transmission. They also said that Chrysler has a posting about this problem. They are being told by Chrysler to change the fluid and flush three times, put a permanent sealer on the base of the tranny dip stick tube, and upgrade the software. The dealer is being great and is working to fix the issue. Now, I've seen similar postings with unhappy endings but has anyone had this same issue and then had it fixed successfully? Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

I just posted about my same issue but unfortunately it's my first trip to the mechanic. What exactly did they say allowed the water to get in?

#1763 of 5134 Non-stop interior dust by dthoenen

Aug 09, 2005 (3:00 pm)

My 2004 JGC leaks dust around all doors and the hatch and has since day 1. Dust even gets into back CD changer. I complained to the dealer I bought it from (paid cash in full) but they blew me off and have never fixed problem. I live on gravel road and Jeep's claim to fame is off road. Fine, but I don't want road inside my car. Service manager asked if I leave windows down and sunroof open. Duh, I'm not stupid. Love everything but dusting daily. Anybody else have this problem?

The check engine light isnot on and according to the jeeps computer there is nothing wrong. the jeep cuts out 1 maybe two times everytime i drive it. Now it just sits in my driveway. I need someones help because nobody has any idea WHATS WRONG.
