Stalled out by joesjeeps

I have a 1995 Grand Cherokee w/ EFI, 5.2, quadratrac.
I drove it approximately 30 miles today and it ran fine but when I took a lefthand turn three blocks from my house it just died. I tried to start it and I get the starter turning but it won't turn over.
I thought it might be the fuel filter so I let it sit for about an hour thinking that if it was clogged the sediment might settle but got the same result.
Any suggestions?

Did the engine turn over? Was voltage near 12 with the key on? If the engine turned with the starter but the volts were below about 10, you may not be getting ignition, and fuel might also be a factor if voltage is low. Sorry I can't tell you for sure what to poke at.
 
Anyway, at least you were close to home. Merry Christmas.

The engine does not turn over and I just replaced the battery two days ago.

2001 Grand Cherokee, locking wheels..... by cesarherna

Hello, I am trying to install a different bolt pattern rims to my Jeep, so I get a set of wheel adapters on the internet, but the wheels get lock with the adapters on it and is impossible to move any wheel by hand and not even trying driving the car, the size on the adapters are fine, everything fit perfectly and I don't see any reason to what is happening. Is any wheel sensor locking the brake system?
Has anybody seen this before or any possible suggestion?
 
Thank you

Ouch. I'd say, start by making sure you have good batt connections. Then, it's probably the starter and/or solenoid for the starter that's sapping your batt. If you've tried to jump the Jeep unsuccessfully, I'd put money on the starter assembly. If it jumped OK, I'd sat batt cables are a guilty party.

Coolong fan woes- overheating by hittin1

I am the proud owned of a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 4.0L.
 
Two days ago after cutting my jeep off I noticed the fan running.. I know it is normal but it remained on after 1 hour.. So i unplugged it by the radiator.. 45 mins. or so later i plugged it back in to see if it would still be on and it stayed off. On the drive home I noticed that I was starting to overheat at idle.. Checked when temp was high and fan was not on..
 
Changed Coolant temp sensor
checked fuses.
cant locate fan relay..
a/c works and fan doesn't come on
fan is working when I jumped it to battery.
 
Can anyone help diagnose this problem.. Please.
 
I have a 260 amp alt- 3 batts, and 6000 watts on 2-18's This is a daily driver and Competition vehicle. I do not want to overheat and ruin the motor. (not a fan of the 4.0L but it is what I have)
I do all the wiring on my Car Audio and have decent knowledge of 12volt systems.. I was a mechanic years ago but changed jobs due to eye injury.. So I have some knowledge of automotive trouble shooting and diagnostics. II need advise from someone who knows this specific vehicle.. Any help would be appreciated.
 
If anyone has questions about car audio/jeeps i would be glad to assist as well.

Sounds like the fan controller module is dead. One of our Jeeps has done the same thing. As a fast fix, we rigged the fan to be on when the lights are on. This fix may also work for you as well, but it is a temporary fix.

There are usually at least 2 temp sensors. One talks to the fan relay to run the fan when needed. The other one talks to the computer. Is it possible you changed the computer input sensor? They usually look similar. I have a V8 so am not able to describe the location of the probable guilty part on your 4.0 and I'm 5000 miles from my service manual.
 
With electical power on, grounding the electrical connection to the correct sensor should fire up the fan. If I'm wrong about this one, someboby please chime in.
