1996 was a hybrid year for the cherokee, they started using the newer computers in half of the jeeps...you can plug in your vin to see if you have the newer one, if you don't, you can put a 95 or older computer in it without flashing it. Do you have any codes?

You have a motor for the front and rear washer. Check the fuses. If the intermitted wipers does not work, there is a relay under the dash near the steering colum that needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: what weight oil does a 96 jeep cherokee use

dont know for sure how true this is but ive always used 10w30 in them.sometimes it will tell you under the hood on the sticker with the info or your nearest oil change station has the capability to look up what the manufacturer calls for.I think all older chryslers ran 10w30 though

SOURCE: 96 Jeep cherokee ran out of gas, re-fuel, won't start. No spark.

You may have to prime the fuel pump. Or replace the fuel pump if that does not work. Why do you let it run out of gas? This is definately not good for an injected motor. It will continue to cause more and more problems. Fuel injectors should never run dry.

I have a 94 jeep grand cherokee lardeo and the transmission came out but I have a 96 tranny they both are from the 5.2L V8. Would they be interchangeable?

first identify them.96 from out of what.
both a re ZJ jeeps, GC.?
the 94 has 46RH box. that engine.
the 96 has and electronic shifted box. (apples and oranges diffr)
the 96 box is a 44RE, (note the E there)
the E box needs TCM brain (part of PCM actual) to shift it.
you dont have PCM in your car that can do that.

call jeep and ask them.?
bingo.
there is more to na A/T then length and bell sizes, far more.

below is the PCM and 44re box. shift solenoids.

Have 96 jeep cherokee sport will not start not getting fuel or fire cranks over fine all fuses and relays are good

Hey I have a 96 grand Cherokee aswell I had the same prob. When you turn the key to the on position does the dash light say your out of gas but you know your not? If so it's your crank shaft position sensor a $60 part it's located above the tran so youll have to lower not drop it to get to it. Shouldn't take more than 30 mins to do hope I was able to help an good luck

Engine swap question - 2000 jeep 172k

Check with any local junkyard or dealer ... they know better than anyone what fits what.... Pretty likely it does. It would be wise to check bearings in one you want to buy (before you pay) also, check the top 1/4" of the cylinder bores. There should be very little or no ridge at the top (big ridge = a lot of cylinder wear) If you buy it, check the timing chain for excessive wear and also check "freeze plugs" and replace before installing it. (far easier out of car than in)

96 cherokee help!

You know what I have seen a couple of cases with a Jeep cherokee where it was the computer on the pass side firewall where water would leak down and get inside the computer and fry it. may be a local junk yard has one or ebay. but do check for voltage at the small wire on the starter while key is in cranking mode if there is 12 volts at that terminal the ignition switch is good. if not presume an ignition switch, or worst case scenerio its the computer. sometimes trial and error works.
