Take the vehicle to have the service codes read. Could be a pending problem that will soon cause the vehicle to stop working.

Could also be a bad exhaust emissions sensor. If so fuel economy will be reduced and emissions would be higher than legal amounts.

Could also be a vacuum leak somewhere. On older vehicles sometimes the fuel inlet tube starts to leak in air to the tank and this effects vacuum. The engine ducks the firms back to the engine to reduce fumes.

Could also be air intake air velocity and or temperature sensor in the intake area. Used for fine tuning gas to are mixture ratio. If defective you could be running either too rich or leans. Will eventually cause engine valve and or injection problems over time. Reduced fuel economy when not working properly.

These are some common faults for this. There are many more possibilities.

I used to build engines for racing many years ago. I did studies in automobile technology. This is how I know these things.

Means that you need to get it to a service center to have the fault codes read and the problem fixed

Under the cd slot you will see a long thin rectangle that can be gently pryed out with a knife tip on the right side of the rectangle. under that cover there is a small button. push that and out comes the nav disc. Voila solved

Check the Trans fluid level with it running and at operating temperature. Jeep NAG1 transmissions are known to have the input electric seal leak trans fluid. Not an exspensive fix add Mopar ATF4 and then relace the guild seal.

SOURCE: 93 grand cherokee 5.2 V8, red square flashing on VIC display

Wrong. The red square was unique to 1993 and early 1994 ZJs with the VIC. Chrysler offered an oil level sensor on both engines and due to a high failure rate, they discontinued it. The accompanying message should read "Check Oil Level". I had this problem when I replaced my VIC in my late 1994 model with a 1993 model VIC and it showed this message all the time. Check your engine oil level and if it is fine, there is a wire you can short to ground behind the VIC unit to shut it up. That's what I had to do.

Sorry I cannot help you with the wire pinout, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Good luck with your problem and anymore questions, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

2005 jeep grand cherokee rocky mountain edition head lights flicker off and on, dashes board gauges, all going haywire. This vechile has been taken in for service countless times. Service department...

I had the exact same symptoms with my Nissan Altima, quite scary when one of the flashing lights is the air bag... after replacing all the wrong parts, it ended up being the alternator which would short out periodically. It tested fine, but the car would never act up when I was at the shop. Never had another issue after replacing. Hope this helps.

Im having problems with my gauges on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo. The lights will flash on and off for all the functions such as low gas, tow haul mode, the fuel gauge, speedometer, rpm guage, and...

I've had my 2005 Grand Cherokee into the dealer 5 times for the same issue and they've replaced a bunch of stuff, but have not found the problem yet. A quick fix, I've found, is to jiggle the key in the ignition. Doesn't fix the problem, but it does stop everything from going crazy! Let me know if anyone has the actual fix.

HELP!! Having electrical issues with my 2005 Pontiac

electical is hard to diagnose with out being there. i would treat each problem seperately. first you will need to test the engine temp gauge sending unit. in a dealership this is easy with a scanner they can run a sweep test to se if the gauges are responding.you don't want the engine to over heat if the gauge is not working. next problem the dome light should be easy to fixe does the dome light work with the dome switch?remove the bulb and with the doors open and switch on check for voltage, if voltage check connection and or replace bulb. if no voltage check fuses for voltage.last will need to have the dtc po243 checked out by a repair shop. i hope this will help.

Yellow warning light

Dunno where you reside but our indoor/outdoor digital thermometer shows a snowflake once the temp drops down to 0C/32F. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a Jag would have a warning light for freezing temps.
