Replying to: deel_64 (Jan 14, 2006 10:08 pm) You may also want to try this: have the tranny oil pan rust hole "brazed" closed. This will save you alot of hassel, and time, not mention money.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

Replying to: clracing (Jan 16, 2006 4:19 pm) Check back(about a month) in the posts, there are some good posts about your alarm problems. One of them was about the plunger switch for the hood not depressing fully, and they fixed it by glueing a popsicle stick to the plunger to help it fully depress. This is what i remember about the post so please do not quote me on this.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

Replying to: canuck905 (Jan 16, 2006 4:50 pm) Question: Are you getting a sevice engine soon/check engine light when the vehicle is running? This sound like your battery is dead, or is almost dead, or your altenator is on it's way out. Take the vehicle(if it will make it) to an auto parts store that will(free of charge, as most do) check your altenator and battery.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

Replying to: falcon9er (Jan 17, 2006 6:19 am) If indeed a rat had chewed some wires, and you do not know where they are, take the vehicle to a dealership, and have them deal with it. As for the unburned fuel smell....that is your evaporator canister filter plugged, and will have to be changed by a dealership, or someone Very compentent in what they are doing.   As for your code p0320, my book read that you are getting no crank reference signal at PCM.... Change your crankshaft position sensor,or trace back the wiring to see if there is a open circuit(short).   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
#2516 of 4608 Re: 97 JGC rain leak...Help! [jeep097] by trickster Jan 18, 2006 (4:04 pm)
Replying to: jeep097 (Jan 17, 2006 8:34 am) I really don't think this has anything to do with your door seals, unless you can hear the wind as if the window was open a crack, but wasn't, then yes, it;s your door seals. However i've run into this problem before, there is a rubber drain plug under your carpet below the driver's feet. In order to get to it, you must pull-up the carpet, there is no other way from underneath the vehicle...i've checked. This drain plug(there are several throughout every vehicle) is for that very reason..to drain the vehicle if any subsantial water gets into the vehicle. Unfortunatly this drain plug runs into the frame member of the underside of the vehicle, whick is why you cannot get to it from the underside. Re-plug it, and problem solved.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8. Replies to this message: jeep097 (Jan 19, 2006 11:12 am) trickster (Jan 20, 2006 6:05 pm) jeep097 (Jan 19, 2006 11:11 am)
#2517 of 4608 Re: Did I make a mistake buying a Jeep???? [letivaccaro] by trickster Jan 18, 2006 (4:12 pm)
Replying to: letivaccaro (Jan 17, 2006 2:58 pm) Check your fluid level, most power steering pumps whine when they are low on fluid. If that is not your problem, and indeed the power steering pump is in need of replacment, then get one from a auto parts store(if they carry them), or an auto wrecker. P.S. Alot of these JGC power steering pumps are inter-changable from year to year(they don't usually change the design of the pumps every year); the auto wrecker will know this(or should, if they are a compentent auto wrecker dealer).   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
#2518 of 4608 SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES by leeacampbell Jan 18, 2006 (4:23 pm)
1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Problem: I have had the speedometer cluster and speed sensor replaced by the dealership. And the speedometer needle is still bouncing all over the place. The tech at the dealership disconnected a wire from a (speed) module and the speedometer seem to work fine. But the "taillight out" alert would start flashing. When the wire was reconnected to the module the speedometer needle would start bouncing all over again while driving (the tech tried a new module no change in the speedometer bounce). Does anybody have a clue to what the problem could be or how I can fix this problem. Replies to this message: trickster (Jan 18, 2006 6:00 pm)

Replying to: tommyjeep94 (Jan 17, 2006 6:28 pm) This is not your master cylinder that is giving you grief, it is in fact your vacuum booster that is faulty. Brakes are a closed hydraulic system, whether if you have A.B.S, or not, which requires alot of PSI in order to work properly.   When the vehicle is not running, the brake pedal is hard because there is no vacuum boost assist, and when you pump the brake pedal a couple of times, the brake pedal should stay in one spot when held down, and not slowly travel to the floor.If the pedal does travel to the floor, then you have a brake line leak somewhere. When the vehicle is running, the vacuum booster does just that: it assists in creating enough PSI in order for the system to work properly, in relative comfort to the driver/operator. Changing the vacuum booster is fairly easy, and straight forward. However, if you have any doubts as to the integrity of your braking system, have a qualified dealer double check the braking system. This is the system that stops your 2000lb vehicle from becoming a deadly weapon, DO NOT COMPRIMISE THIS SYSTEM. Also, do not take the brake lines off at the master cylinder, or you will have to "bench bleed" the master cylinder, and believe me when i say: you will not like that . The master cylinder and lines can stay intact, but you will have to unbolt the master cylinder from the booster, in order to remove the booster. Don't worry, this will not affect the hydraulic system at all. Before you do all this, check the vacuum hose that goes to the booster, and see if it has a leak at the fitting, or where it attaches to the intake manifold, and check to see if the hose is plugged.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

#2520 of 4608 Re: 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee air bag lights keep coming on [walsh44] by trickster Jan 18, 2006 (5:00 pm)
Replying to: walsh44 (Jan 18, 2006 6:51 am) There is an airbag module that(in most jeeps) is located under the center console just behind the emergency brake pull handle. CAUTION: Disconnect the battery, and wait 2 minutes before attemping any work, on or near airbags. Check the integrity of the wiring harness plug-in that goes to the airbag module, if all look fine then you will probably have to either have the module looked at by a dealership, or replace the module itself. Do not get a module from and auto wrecker, as you will have the same problem. Sometimes(depending on the model) an airbag module can be flashed(wiped clean), and rebooted with fresh programming.   You will need to get this dealt with A.S.A.P, or your next drink of coffee while driving down the road, may come with a coffee cup and a pillow.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

Replying to: trickster (Jan 18, 2006 4:42 pm) Thank you, Trickster. I'll give the vacuum booster change-out this weedend. I'll let the forum know I make out.
