(lazy me)toss 2that switch INPUT pin12 there. is hot key on.?if not? then problem is CB or wires bad. or fuse PDC 11 blown. (you never said other things dead too)we use a voltmeter to check those hot pins (all tests)on the switch first.then the output of switch.one pin is 0v other is 12vdc, up,then reverses polarity down. 12 and 0v.easy huh>? just 3 readings and bam, hard facts.$10 meters work ok.if you have 12vdc across the 2 motor pins up or down and motor is silent?, it's bad motor, if it growl with noise?, the window is jammed.(mechanical prob. pure)easy no?if you cant get 0v to the motor, (lever pushed)that means G302 is broken, this ground.c8ac48f7-ead4-4883-8edf-23962bad59c5.jpg

How do you adjust the rocker arms on a 1996 jeep grand cherokee 5.2 liter

its in the FSM. want to read that for free. see chapter marked ENGINE> chapter 9 ZJ jeep it is. there is no such thing, sorry here ill paste the install push rods/rockers. lines (1) Rotate the crankshaft until the "V8" mark lines up with the TDC mark on the timing chain case cover. This mark is located 147° ATDC from the No.1 firing position. (2) Install the push rods in the same order as removed. (3) Install rocker arm and pivot assemblies in the same order as removed. Tighten the rocker arm bolts to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.) torque. CAUTION: DO NOT rotate or crank the engine during or immediately after rocker arm installation. Allow the hydraulic roller tappets adequate time to bleed down (about 5 minutes). (4) Install cylinder head cover. (5) Connect spark plug wires. end. quote. is this clear?

How do you change the oil pump on a 1996 jeep grand cherokee limited 5.2 liter.The oil pressure drops almost down to zero when in idle normal operating temp range range. Need steps.

I'd be checking to make sure that the oil pump was not the problem before I tried to replace it. How many KM/miles on the engine? Regular maintenance? Burning oil?

4.0l 6 cylinder. What are the probable causes of DTC P0171?

no. (but the isc valves loves to stick but will not cause black smoke)the 4.0L is one of 5 million made, it's well known, the black smoke don't lie. it's rich and the cat seems burned up too.as with black smoke the cat will try to catalyze all that and glow red hot. is your cat missing?> so why not believe the code 171, its real and is catastrophic failure. there are 2 engines here, FED and California.(exhaust)(2 different exhausts and sensors there.as they say, fix what is OBVIOUSLY bad, 171(find why using tools or inspections)Fuel System Lean (Bank 1)in most cases the exhaust is cracked near B1S1 0xy sensorthis causes it to stick at 0volts, (lies) and the PCM sees that obvious lie then goes rich. (limphome rich)if the pcm cant measure oxygen, it must now guess at fuel trim.(bad that.)it goes rich, so you dont melt pistons running lean.(by design) bad front oxygen sensor (aka , up stream bank 1)in calif cars, it can have a split exhaust on the I6 and have 3 sensors. (hope not yours, do look..)most have 2 sensor, front and the useless behind cat sensor(B1s2)S2 is useless for running mix, the rear is for smog test the cat.so it rich, and now misfires. and the spark tips are black.and it misfires to bad it can even idle, sure. (Drops)the cause, is too rich.the 171 means the PCM sees it stuck at 0v forEVER.there are in fact other causes. but these 2 are top cause.on all 3 of my 4.0L enginesthe exhaust manifold cracked on the under side.side facing block. (i use a hose to ear to hear the putt putt puts, (with FULL PPE protection from burns from a dead cold engine.) ask how.even the SST exh. man. did that.or the header flange gasket is TOAST. (that too putts when bad.)

TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING

Turn signals are usually very reliable and problems mostly begin when a bulb is carelessly replaced. Other than this most problems are related to the hazard warning switch which tends to be used so infrequently the internal switch contacts become dull or dirty and so when it is operated causes turn signal problems, including them not working at all. Usually spending a few minutes rapidly operating the hazard switch puts matters right. It is also worth checking the fuse(s) before resorting to voltmeters and wiring diagrams.
