Please check for any blockage and in the ac duct, IF the duct is clean you need to refill the AC gas and get it serviced as the AC thens to weak over the years ........................







good luck................

RTM yet? XJ jeep, guess not here it is . posted over 100 times. http://www.morris4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service

done so , far far from home, many times, hoses ruptured. i think you meant the heater core hoses leaked so I bypassed them with new hose. some do this on warm tropical islands and run like that for ever in fact , my first car a 1964 dodge, it was on option (heat) there are exceptions, on some cars, as the hose feeds the thermostat base in this very odd way, (rice cars) but not this car. this the 4.0L ?

Check battery leads making sure there secure if loose this would cause this problem

If everything is okay before and after each icidence I would suspect a fuel supply problem. Are filter and pipes all clear of detritus? Does it happen in corners, whilst accelerating or decelerating? Does it happen whilst cruising? When engine is hot or cold. Which engine do you have. Please add detail and resubmit the query

On ebay or a Jeep dealer.

How do you know it "loads up with gas" If you are having trouble restarting the car, consider doing a test of fuel pressure. If its low/zero it could be a) leaking fuel pump (known problem, there is a kit to fix) or b) leaking injector. If you suspect b, go ahead and replace all of them. Jeep will run like new...Well, change timing chain as well - its not that timing chain breaks, its that it gets too much slack and the computer gets confused.

Probably out of fuel

Jeep XJ it is. the Cluster is a computer. brain, a stand alone display. fuse 16 in PDC (cluster memory fuse) and fuse 9 in JB . runs it. JB is cab fuse box. so what works in the cluster, all things, but not speed or tacho. engine runs ok scan tool show no DTC errors.? all warning lights in cluster work? at self test key????? if the PCM can not comm, to the cluster, the cluster can not show tach or speed, can't , and cant update odometer either does the odometer roll moving>? i bet not the cluster is a stand alone unit, with puter brain (processor) fuel guage work? if the scan tool shows U codes or C codes and comm errors that must be addressed first. (cause) see? you cant fix cars, with out a $5 scan tool, cant. why not buy one and use it? ask how, 1000's of choices here... and more.

alldata.com or the FSM covers that. the module is in steering head. the wiper motor relay is inside it. (seen in schematic)

You didn't say what kind of car this is, but a P0443 code is typically a Ford code. The evap solenoid is located on the passenger side, near the firewall where the A/C filter dryer is. A vacuuum hose is connected from the solenoid to another switch called a flow sensor and then to the fuel rail.

Have you checked the engine computer for trouble codes yet ?

First check the battery and connections.

Get an engine diagnosis before you start spending money. Could be the timing.

Not a dana 44 I bet. Dana 30 or 35, perhaps. If you google rear axle identification your should find a chart which reveals all.

The a.c.and heater cores that you speak of are inside the cabin behind the glove box. But that's the location, to access them the whole dash must be removed. its worth replacing a few problem parts once you open up the case that holds them, like both cores and the blend door

Problem I found: Clunk when driving over even small bumps.

If Grand Cherokee is 1999-2004, then check this: Above the differential is a wishbone cross member control arm. The cross member attaches to the frame in front of the rear axle (bolts through rubber bushings), and directly above the differential, at the apex of the cross member, is a ball joint. The ball joint assembly is a flange bolted atop the differential, with three bolts, and the ball joint pin protrudes from the flange through the cross member apex, with a nut atop the pin. Raise the frame slightly, and with a pry bar, pry above the flange, and below the cross member, very near the ball joint. If any motion is detected, then the ball joint is worn from the ball joint socket, or the nut is loose on the ball joint pin. If the nut is tight, then replace the ball joint. 2000 GC part number is 52088808AB, and is available from online sources or dealers. To replace this part, you'll probably need to remove the cross member, as the ball joint pin through the cross member is in a tight location, is tightly wedged into the cross member, and requires a special v-shaped puller to remove the pin from the cross member. If you don't have access to the puller tool, then remove the cross member for this operation. Raise vehicle slightly, under frame, in front of rear wheels. Unbolt the brake line and brake cable retainers from the cross member, then unbolt the flange from atop the differential. Then remove the two frame bolts and manipulate the cross member out of the vehicle, from above the differential.

With the cross member before you, support on blocks, loosen the ball joint nut somewhat, or remove it, and with a beater protective block, sledge out the pin from the cross member. Inspect the rubber bushings at this time. These bushings require an arbor press to remove/install, and the arbor press to install requires a spider so as to not rip the rubber bushing from either the bushing shell or center spool. The press spider is a 4-point tool you can make up from a piece of aluminum.

Bolt the new ball joint flange atop the differential, using blue thread locker, and torque the bolts to 100 ft-lb, cheater pipe useful here.

Replace the cross member to the frame, and install the two frame bolts, finger tight. Pull the member apex down onto the ball joint pin, and run the nut down. Using a box end wrench, hold the pin from rotation while tightening down the nut. Torque the nut to 100 ft-lb. Tighten the frame attachment bolts to 100 ft-lb, and reinstall the brake cable and brake line retainers. Do not over tighten these retainer bolts, as they are passing only through the sheet steel side of the cross member. Take care to not strip the sheet metal threadings. Lower vehicle and remove jack.

Replace the factory weather stripping seal.

Make sure your brake lights are working, the shift interlock may not be getting signal from the brake light switch to release the shift lever. If they are working, the problem may be the shift interlock switch.

You may get away with replacing the handle parts. Junk yard items. You might have to replace all the shifter mechanism. The handle comes off from a set screw on the front of the bottom part of the handle. There is a small hole in the handle to put an allen wrench in it to unscrew it. Sometimes the button breaks. sometimes it is in the console.
