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.

'94 Jeep Cherokee Issues by bozawaza

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?

Is it possible that you connected the charging unit with polarity reversed? Or perhaps you have a shorted electrical circuit.

I thought that maybe I had them reversed when I jumped it, but I'm positive that I hooked the charger up right. And it still started smoking. The ECM is the module that is smoking. Could a short elsewhere cause this?

Absolutely! At this point, I would put in the hands of professionals though that's probably not what you want to hear.

Hello, I was wondering what correlation does the door lock motor burning out have to do with the windows not working for all for doors? Also is the door lock motor the same as the actuator and wondering how difficult this would be to replace? Thanks in advance!

Hey not sure if you fixed the problem yet. But after taking the driver side door panel off and checking the wires i moved on to the rubber boot that goes from the driver side door to the body of the jeep. After sliding the boot from the door towards the jeep, low and be-hold there was a black wire that was completely snapped in half. Used a butt connector to attach both ends and sure enough it fixed all the problems. Hope this helps.
