#2522 of 4591 Re: SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES [leeacampbell] by trickster Jan 18, 2006 (6:00 pm)
Replying to: leeacampbell (Jan 18, 2006 4:23 pm) I would check to see if you have a corroded wire inside the sheathing of the wiring. To find this, pull back the wire loom that comes from the vehicle speed sensor,(located at the back of the transmission on a 2-wheel drive, or the tranfercase for a 4-wheel drive), and inspect the wiring for a tell-tale white spot indicating corroded wire(s) inside the sheathing; cut-out and replace as nessesary.   The only other thing that i can possibly think of right now is: Did the service tech reset your trouble codes in your PCM when they replaced the VSS and instrument cluster?   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

Replying to: lamonica6 (Jan 08, 2006 8:36 pm) I took my car and had it fixed. The throttle position sensor was bad. They replaced the sensor and cleaned out the area. They also found a loose ground wire that they secured. Now the car runs great. A world of difference. Total cost $185.00
#2524 of 4591 Re: 97 JGC rain leak...Help! [trickster] by jeep097 Jan 19, 2006 (11:12 am)
Replying to: trickster (Jan 18, 2006 4:04 pm) Thanks, Trickster - There doesn't appear to be any noticeable wind noise, so your drain plug suggestion may help. I'll look and see if I can find the drain plug(s) you referenced.   Just to clarify, you said the plugs are there to drain the vehicle. Are they normally "plugged" (i.e. "closed") and one must unplug them in order to drain the water out? If correct, that sounds like a good solution to emptying the water once it has entered the car - but my original problem still exists - identifying the source of the water and preventing it from occuring everytime it rains. Any suggestions???? Replies to this message: trickster (Jan 20, 2006 6:05 pm)

Replying to: trickster (Jan 18, 2006 3:13 pm) Thanks for the reply Trickster. Had my suspicions re: the batt. and alt. but didn't want to waste $ on replacing the wrong item. It still amazes me that the two guages would quit all together though. Much appreciated. Canuck905 Replies to this message: jeeper2 (Jan 20, 2006 12:08 pm)
#2529 of 4591 Grand Cherokee transmission problems by craig111 Jan 20, 2006 (9:37 am)
Hi - please pardon the question is this is a silly one. I have no experience of automatic transmissions being British and having never driven an auto previously other than rental cars. So. I am now the proud owner of a 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2 with 140k miles. I would like to understand if my transmission is behaving correctly - if its behaving ok, but sounds worn, or if its doing something i need to worry about. So... it shifts properly up and down etc. When shifting from park to reverse, there's a small clunk initially. Similarly when shifting from reverse to drive. a small clunk. Is this ok? it feels like just some play somewhere. Equally. coming from drive to a stop at traffic lights. It seems not possible to bring it to a stop perfectly smoothly, there always seems to be this small clunk just before stopping. i don't think the problem is my heavy feet... Secondly. I'm in drive. The car is stationary. My foot is on the brake. I rev the engine. I hear a grating noise. Should i expect to? I don't think i should, but not really sure. I appreciate this is something i don't really need to do, but am just interested in whether this indicates a problem or the beginnings of a problem. other than that, am extremely pleased with my Jeep. Thanks in advance for any advice or help. Replies to this message: trickster (Jan 20, 2006 5:55 pm) craig111 (Jan 21, 2006 7:47 am)

Replying to: canuck905 (Jan 20, 2006 9:03 am) What was the solution for the non functioning speedometer and tach? I have the same problem after I recently put the charger on the battery of my '99 GC. The battery was low but not dead. I had left a light on inside the Jeep and didn't find it for a couple of days.   I was told that only a Jeep dealer can resolve this by applying some type of reset.

Replying to: craig111 (Jan 20, 2006 9:37 am) The clunk that you are hearing is more than likely the universal joints, on the rear driveshaft, that are worn and need to be replaced. The grating noise that you are hearing is the A.B.S. braking system trying to keep your vehicle stationary, but cannot. During severe braking, you will also hear this noise, don't be alarmed, this is normal for an A.B.S braking system, and the brake pedal will also pulsate.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
