Replying to: jonsmith11 (Feb 28, 2009 6:46 am) I'd have the ignition switch tested. It sounds like the wire that sends the "Everythings' Kosher" signal to your Jeeps' theft deterrent system might be goofy OR the theft deterrent system has an emotional issue. The dash itself has its own locating bosses that plug into the interior wiring harness/engine management system. Sometimes, if the connection is loose or corroded, the signal can be interrupted and weird crap can start happening. Make sure you tell your mechanic EXACTLY what YOU did so that he can narrow his search down. It'll cost you less in labor in the long run. GOOD LUCK!
#111 of 205 1997 JGC electrical issue by xscout Mar 11, 2009 (4:38 pm)
I have been having problems with gauges working on and off (mostly off) , electric windows and door locks acting strange or not at all, and sometimes the AC compressor refusing to kick in. I knew it was a short, but was unable to locate it. The mechanic could never get an error code, only an everything is good or can not evaluate due to incomplete connection message. After trying everything that was mentioned on the internet blogs, still no luck. Today as the mechanic said he was about to give up as he was out of things to check he discovered the problem would disappear when he unplugged the airbag control module located in the console I won't know if this is it for sure until I drive it for a few days, but if it is it just shows the problem could be anywhere. The airbags are one of the areas that was not giving me any problems.

Replacing the airbag module did solve my problem. All the assorted electrical demons are gone!

'98 GC Ltd. ZJ 5.2L   i've only recently noticed that i can hear static and low-level whine that rises and falls in pitch with my engine rpm. i only hear it if my headlights are on (either w/ turning lamps/fog lamps only or headlights on too) when the car is running. any ideas? it sounds like it might be related to my alternator, but i'm not sure.   any thoughts would be appreciated, since i'm headed to the shop tomorrow for some TC/trans. work. thanks.
#116 of 205 '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee-Battery draw by trekker3 Mar 27, 2009 (11:01 am)
I bought this vehicle used last summer and use it primarily for recreation. So at times it sat with out being started. The battery always needed to be recharged if it sat more than a week. I figured I needed to replace the battery. I spoke to my mechanic about it, he told me he'd take a look at it while he was doing some other work on it. Turns out the battery is fine, there is something drawing from the battery while it is not running. All the obvious things were checked. But we could not figure out what was drawing from the battery. I thought it may be the alarm, does not appear to be the problem. When the cables are re-connected the poz always sparks. Anyone know about this problem?

Replying to: anthnycarr (Feb 26, 2009 4:31 am) Hello, having the exact same problem with my jeep same year as well. Wondering if you had the problem fixed and if so what was it and how much did it cost? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone else has any other solutions please advise. Thanks in advance.
#118 of 205 '94 Jeep Cherokee Issues by bozawaza Mar 31, 2009 (8:21 am)
Hi- I drive a 94 Jeep Cherokee with 97000 miles on it. Yesterday morning I woke up to a dead vehicle and figured my lights had been left on, so I jumped it and it worked fine. This morning I woke up to a dead jeep again, so I figure its the battery going on me. I cleaned the terminals and connectors and then put a 10 amp charger on it. Upon doing this, a module on the right side (not quite sure what it is) began to smoke pretty bad. I quickly unplugged the charger and the smoking stopped, and now here I am.    Anyone have any ideas?
