why not say what is wrong. broken window? wont roll up or down? rattles sticks iced up. what? check fuses yet, that be first if electrics of any kind fails.

Good lord there are fuses everywhere in that truck if I remember right, you'd have been better off asking about the problem I think.. try here http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm#service find your truck, pull up the PDF then on your keyboard hit the find box (F3?) punch in "fuse" and run down the list...

Hey Mark I did find a full description of how to do this at autozone library im sure it will help you , AZ site is all free just log in and list your vehicle then go to repair guide then to vehicle repair guide and you'll get a drop down click on engine electrical . Woody

Try the code trick, turn your ignition on and off, but not to the point that it starts 3 times- cycling the ignition key On - Off - On - Off - On- within 5 second or so you'll get some numbers on the odometer, record them and google the codes, or buy a cheap code reader....Your right around the year that doesn't work, but it can't hurt to try.... Is it blowing at all -and the way it is suppose to? Do you get it after driving awhile? Is anything leaking-even just a bit? Check for enough coolant in the radiator(hear a gurgling?-low coolant) enough?Yes->check all hoses for cracks, splits, leaks,)all ok? Yes->-are the heater hoses hot after running a bit? yes?->flush the heater core, still nothing?-change the temp sensor.. That should keep you busy a while..

It's a bad ground. Turn on the lights and use a test light to probe each wire. Write down your results. Then turn on the brights and do the same test. The one with no voltage (or in this case possibly a dim glow) is ground. Ground it.

The ABS sensors are located on the back side of each wheel in the area of the brakes. The sensors should not keep the car from running. A warning light should display on the dash, but should not keep the car from running.

this is covered by the FSM, and is obvious, an mostly like all cars made. drain it, unbolt it... bla bla. click, ZJ then click cooling and read page 35 any questions? http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service

It could have a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. Contaminated fuel, clogged injectors. Check for vacuum leaks. Crankshaft position sensor failure is common on the 6 cyl grand cherokees.

Time to meter voltage. Start with the 12V circuit. Are you getting voltage at the coil. Does the voltage fluctuate when the engine cranks? If yes to both check the high voltage circuit. Start with the coil then the distributor then each plug. You should be able to find where the spark is failing.

nice ANON double post. backup one post and read.

double posted, and was answered in the first post. backup and read, see the actual FSM link there.

Computer controls idle What does the factory manuals call for? Don't see 700 as a problem or the rolling out as an issue Maybe you have a problem with an AIC Valve on throttle body, if it has that Could have vacuum leaks or other issues

grans? the Grand grans? LOL ! sure, cell phones suck. for typing,. my guess, the Battery drains dead, parked. ? ok there are only 2 causes. 1: as always bad batteries can do that.... (i use test battery from on other car, unless new $125 batteries are cheap to you. or charge IT , and and use my load tester. $20 at Harbor FRIGHT(pun) http://www.fixkick.com/tools/load.jpg 2: or is phantom drain, here is page that covers all ways to find a drain. http://www.fixkick.com/drain/drain.html if car battery drains driving, check the charging system. but you said parked, which means keys in pocket.

you can get this 2 ways. read the FSM, or alldata.com and turn to radio chapter. or buy the converter plug , sold at walfart and every where. for your car, it comes with a nice plug and wire pigtails and free, instructions, showing just that. this answser works just about all cars made.
