old posts. i doing them so others can see there are free docs. no need to guess. this is in the FSM. ever seen one well here it is for free, lick axle chapter. RTM< http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service free.

when did they last work, last week or never/? or unknown? sure, you see it broken, why ignore that????? most cars, have many speed sensors. the engine speed, called RPM the transmissions can have 1 or 2. no engine stated, no exact transmission stated, nor if 2wd or 4wd, most modern car , got smart, and the ECU guy told the tranny engineer hey buddy, we dont need no stinking cables. only cheaper and 10x more reliable mag sensor. this car has a 100% totally digital cluster. the PCM computes all data, and sends that data to CLUSER via a magic serial network called CCD. end history. the PCM if lied to , (bad sensors ) will send out bad data. using the law of all computers, GIGO, garbage in , nets, garbage out. there are 2 fuses. for the cluster there is a scan tool port that is in USA OBD2 compliant. and as such can be used to see if there are ERRORS. called DTCs. id bet dollars to donut , there are ERRORS you are ignoring. Comm errors or VSS, errors (vehicle speed sensor) this trans has no stand alone VSS sensor the 5 pin, connector to trans, has the shift solenoids, ground and VSS all as one. the VSS wires. are LG-WT (guess' light green with white stripe?) if you scan the PCM every time, you get problems magic happens, the blinders come off.

blown fuse. #9 and #18 per FSM. only those, i bet not ,but???? did you SCAN the PCM first? i bet not. the scan tool will show DTC errors, what are they this is and electronic head, and the PCM sends serial data(CCD) to the head, telling it speed, and fuel. loss of comms errors are not good, so check fuses first. click wiring here http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service

Check fuse box for the fuse for dash lights. That is most likely the problem.

50-60 psi going down the road lower at an idle sometimes the oil pleasure switch on the engine go's bad giving you bad readings I'm a big jeep guy so any other ? let me know

I believe its actually a sock located on yhe pump housing. They may have another one under the driver seat. Follow the line from tank to fuel rail. If you don't see one then its just the one in the tank. The housing is pretty easy to take apart. Ebay you can get pump motor and sock for like $20

tengo una jeep patriot 2009, no prende el tablero ni las luces interiores, tampoco funciona el claxon ni los limpia parabrisas. el control remoto no abre las puertas.. que pasara?

IT means that the alternator is not producing enough current to maintain adequate battery voltage . The target voltage will be 14.5 volts to 15.5 volts and if there is nor voltage movement with changes to the RPM's then it is either the alternator failure or a slipping drive belt for the alternator . Have the belt condition checked and tensioned.

replace with new one

read the manual here it is http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service see last page in book, wiring

tail? IIRC get the operators guide its there. Tail= park=dash.

Sorry only two lines ahve come through ,please answer post and repeat question in full

If it is a 4 door, open all 4 doors, look for the pin that sticks out of each door. See if any are in the stuck open position. If so spray some WD40, this happened to me.

A/T problems? is this the 4 speed? ever to do the 50k miles service on it yet, (filter and full flush)? is the fluild at the spec level is the fluid called ATF pink, red, brown or black? does the fluid smell , sweet or burnt. if very skilled and hands on, person.? the FSM covers, this , in the chapter, ON CAR A/T service. read that, and not order of testing, (after the std service)

No diagrams? I'm working on a '95 cherokee, the cover on the box has a complete diagram on the underside. On the '95, there are 10 maxi-fuses, and 6 mini-fuses. What is the number designation of the fuse? Likely the numbers may not agree with mine, but I could try to help. By the way, if you have your owner's manual, it would show all fuse and relay descriptions and locations, both the under hood box and the under dash fuse block.

Check to see of there is a problem with the catalytic converter, if there is it can create a snowball effect of problems, your muffler can get blown out from the back firing, bad coil s, bad o2 sensors, bad gas mileage and a loud system to many more
