Yesterday I replaced the TPS and recharged the AC. My Car ran great yesterday, no hiccups, and the AC ran fine. I drove to work this morning (about 40 miles) and car ran great. On my way home though, the Jeep flickered off, like it had no electrical signal, then came back on. Then my voltmeter went all the way to the top (it's always in the middle) my check gauges light came on, and my ABS light came on.
 
I stopped the car and turned it off. When I went to restart it, I got nothing. No turn or anything. So I unplugged the battery to reset the computer, and the car started right back up, and I had no problems the rest of the way home, or the few other trips I've made since.
 
Obviously I have an electrical problem, unless the computer was still trying to read the new sensor, and had a quick malfunction. I took my battery to Autozone and had it tested, and it tested fine.
 
Is this common after replacing a throttle position sensor?

96 Jeep Cherokee AC problem by unekgal

OK, so my grandpa is an AC man (for homes) and is pretty good with these things. We detected a leak in my condenser coil, so I recently installed a new one, although had to cut some corners with $$ because it was expensive. We didn't replace the hoses because they looked like-new, but didn't know how to connect the 2 ends, so we attempted some type of JB weld which was a bad idea because it could not hold that much pressure.
 
What do I use? The parts can't be welded can they? saudered? Any advise would be appreciated.
 
While on that subject, I was looking to see how others fixed their AC and noticed something about an evaporator coil which is under the dash somewhere (passenger side floor).
 
I have no idea where this is, but a few months ago (and no my AC was not working prior to this), it hasn't since I bought it in 2000. Anyway, a few months ago, I noticed some oily substance on my rubber floor mats and the floor seemed really wet, but didn't have a smell. Is this evap coil related?
 
Oh yeah, and I don't know if this is related or not, but during the winter months when I am running the heat, there is this buzz noise that comes from the vents almost like something is stuck in them or the fan stopped turning, but it is REALLY loud???

A/C Compressor problems by swamprat2007

I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee (100,000 miles) with an a/c compressor clutch that continually engages & disengages. I've spent hundreds of $$$ having the system flushed, recharged, checked for leaks, belts, wiring, etc. Engages/disengages in both the heater and a/c modes. 10 seconds off, 5 seconds on...repeatidly, non stop. Repair man says "live with it". This can't be normal.

Hey man,
 
I have a 2001 Cherokee Limited with only 55,000 miles and I am having the same problem. One shop said it was normal so then I bit the bullet and took it to the dealer. They said there was an A/C leake and claimed they fixed it. When I got the car back it just did the same thing exactly as you are describing. On and off and on and off every few seconds and it vibrates and makes a deep below in the undercarriage/exhaust. My mother's 95' Cherokee does the same thing. It makes me nuts because I LOVE these trucks. I bought the 01' used because I like them so much not because I couldnt afford a new car. I dont know what to do about this problem either but you are right it cant be normal.
