Hello Jtarchala, Interesting (and doubtless very vexing) trouble... I always recommend that an OWNER beg, borrow or BUY the FACTORY+WORKSHOP+REPAIR manual.. but as that is not always an option... I like to point out where FREE wiring diagrams and TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBs) can be accessed (on BBB Industries website (registration is required... as these are real documents))... for popular USA Market vehicles. FREE diagrams & TSBs BBB Industries Premium Alternators Starters Power Steering Products I noticed the Manual switch (dash) was assumed to be the trouble... out of curiosity I tried looking up your switch... Please note: while totally UN-SCIENTIFIC.. when I find multiple BRANDS of a particular switch STILL (plentifully) available ... I CONSIDER I have FOUND A PROBLEMATIC area ... GUESS WHAT... Your switch is WIDELY AVAILABLE in large numbers (quite popular (a huge clue).. Check them out: ROCKAUTO (examples) 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5 9L V8 Headlamp Switch RockAuto Product detail: More Information for OMIX ADA 1723429 Notwithstanding that screaming clue...

Hey Dennis, Have you checked the lube level in the read differential? If its good, you have a wheel bearing going bad. To replace it, you will need to remove the axle.. This is not a hard fix, but you have to have the ALL the tools and you MUST put the rear end up on jack stands..DO NOT use a jack to hold the rear end up.. IF you are not very mechanically inclined, please take this to a qualified professional..

Did you check the fluid level in the rear end?

none of the above the problem is a sensor in the transmission changing ratios so run the fault codes and check the problem suspect that wiring or a TR ( transmission ratio) sensor is going faulty
