I replaced the power steering on my uncle's Jeep Cherokee one month ago and he is having problems with it again. Please forgive my misspelling. I am a very bad speller I have two questions and I am still going to school for car repair so forgive me it they sound dumb. 1.After I put the pump on and blead the system and sent the vehicle home with my uncle I noticed a tiny piece of paper in the bottom of the box under the packing material Instructing me to first flush the system out before I bleed it. Needless to say I never got a chance to flush the system. Now why is it that they would tell me to flush the system when installing a new pump? 2. I went through that to get to this. I should say my cousin complained of power steering loss because my uncle gave the jeep to his son. Anyway my cousin says it was like the steering wheel locked in the coluom. If that is the case then it is a bad lock cylinder. but do you think the fact that I did not flush the system out could cause some failure in the steering system to cause the steering to lock up like that? Sorry for the long post.

| i took my 2004 jeep in for service but the PERFORM SERVICE light was not reset. can i reset it myself or do i need to take it back to the dealer? | |
| My transmission dipstick reading shows within the full range on one side and appears dry on the other. Is this from splatter and still in need of fluid? It seems the stick should be coated like an oil dipstick is. (I would rather ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake).Thanks | |
| 2004 jeep grand cherokee Perform Service Light does anyone know how to reset with out having to take it to dealer? | |
| .....light is easy. First thing, push the step button until you get to "0 miles till service". It should still read 0 because it hasn't been reset yet. Then press and hold the reset button on the overhead console for about 5 seconds. This should reset it to the specified miles till service that you requested and the light should go out. | |

| I have a 94 Grand Cherokee limited. Just a little bit ago it started to shake a bit when I accelerate anywhere between 35 and 55 mph. When I let go of the gas it doesn't shake anymore and when I am just keeping constant speed it barely shakes at all. but the harder I push the gas the more it shakes. Suggestions?? | |
