#2154 of 5133 I NEED HELP WITH REAR DOOR HATCH by tigerbabe76

Nov 05, 2005 (2:37 pm)

I HAVE A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD V8, SINCE MOVING TO NC FROM CA MY REAR HATCH HAS BEEN STICKING AND REQUIRES TWO PEOPLE TO OPEN IT. ONE TO CONTINUOUSLY PRESS THE DOOR LOCKS OPEN & CLOSED WHILE THE OTHER OPENS THE REAR HATCH. MY PROBLEM JUST GOT WORSE, UPON INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM I CREATED A BIGGER ONE. I MOVED THE LATCH AND NOW ITS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION AND I CAN'T CLOSE MY HATCH BECAUSE THE LATCH IS IN THE WAY. MY HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED AND i DON'T HAVE CONTACT WITH HIM REGULARLY.

I don't know what's going on with the switch, but usually you can take a screwdriver to the latch and force it back to the normal position so that you can close the hatch. Maybe this post will help:

btw, ALL CAPS is hard to read and lots of people just skip over those posts.

Sorry about the CAPS lock.... Before I posted this message I had already tried the handle/screwdriver thing with no success either. I'm getting frustrated with this Jeep all together. I'm not sure if the door handle on the rear hatch is working at all since I've had problems getting it to open. I hate to take it into a mechanic and get raped over something so simple...but I don't know what else to do.

Ok, after writing this post I went back outside and tried the same method I've had to use to open the rear hatch with the help of my daughter continuous pushing of the lock and unlock while I pulled down with the screwdriver and it worked!!!
 
I guess all I needed to do was write a post to get the creative juices flowing and I was able to solve the problem I created.
 
Thanks for your imput.

It sounds like your transmission is going out. If your MPH are at 60 and your RPM's drop and then increase with a boost to 80 MPR it sounds like your transmission needs work. My 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD is having the same issues right now with 158k miles on it. So I've been driving my husbands 2000 Camaro SS around while he's deployed.

I have a 95 JGC with 259,000 miles. I must have got a good one compared to some of the stories I've read. It's been out of commission for about 2 years because of transmission. I dropped it myself and had a friend at work rebuild it, total cost $650.00 for parts and his labor. After re-installing it and doing a oil change, it fired right up and has been driving great. My wife drove it and the speedometer quit working. Has anyone ever had a problem with the speedometer, could it be a sensor? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My blower motor will not cut off unless i remove the maxi fuse. I replaced the "resistor" but did not correct the problem.
when i replaced the resistor the it was extremely hot to the touch?

I have a problem with my JGC and have no idea what it could be. Driving down the street and heard a loud pop like something hit the underside of the car. A minute later, a little dust of smoke and antifreeze everywhere along with broken pieces of hard plastic. The Radiator??? How could this have happened, what is sthe problem? Any suggestions are appreicated. THANKS!
