#1 of 232 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Check Engine Light by mattstammy

Aug 24, 2007 (3:59 pm)

We just bought a used 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 33,000 miles on it. We drove it before we bought it and everything was fine. On the way home, the check engine light came on. We took it to the dealer since it is still under warranty and they said the code showed it was a random misfire and that the plugs needed to be changed. I took it to another place to have them changed and they said it cleared the code. Well I drove it all day today and everything was fine but once I got home the check engine light is back on again. Any one know what might be the problem or of any TSB's for this? I am going to take it back to the mechanic for diagnosics again in the morning.

Hi everyone, recently the check engine light came up on my 2000 Grand Cherokee, it has 100 k miles and with the light the fan that cools of the radiator does not work anymore. A mechanic told me it's a computer that might have a problem and is very expensive.
Any ideas? Since I bought this car recently I woul appreciate some opinions. Thanx for your time.
 
Regards.
Mauricio

turn on ac does fan come on?
if not try to hot wire fan to see if fan motor if fan works then fan relay could be bad
take to auto zone and have them read codes from computer should tell you what to look for buy the numbers that you get on the code reader

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand cherokee limited. My fuel gauge stays at the full line all the time and the computer reads there is between 285 and 305 miles to empty. The needle does go to empty when I shut the jeep off. What would cause this and/or what can I do to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#10 of 232 Air Bag Dash Light by blackbird79

Along with my overheating problems, at about the same time the "airbag" dash light came on. At first it went off and on sporadically, then just stayed on. We have not hit anything, or touched anything (that we know of). Any way to shut the annoying thing off? Should I be concerned that it's on?
