Car has been in fender bender and dog house has moved over and the door touches the fender when opened. How do we adjust the position of the fender?

Minor fender bender ? Where , front , rear etc.... Could have damaged wiring harness , sometimes GM mounts the PCM - engine computer behind fenders , body parts etc...

For car not changing gears it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF.

For more troubleshooting, I suggest you to get the Following help link checked, its complete step by step procedure to inspect gear shift issues: -----

Somebody has had a small front left corner accident, throwing off the door position or moving the fender back a bit into the door's arc of movement. You will have to take it to a dealer and have the door re-aligned and/or the fender adjusted. This is not an owner serviceable item.

The linkages or inside the door panel may have come off on the door lock. The best way to check the problem is to remove the panels and simulate the locking of the doors. You should see if there are parts that may have come off or had loosened up.

it is easier to to adjust the fender cause if you move the door it could cause you a huge headache tring to get it to line up at the latch and you could cause numorous wind noises and air leaks.

Hi!!
The doors Hinges or Striker need to be adjusted to make up for the weatherstrip thickness. To do this, loosen the hinge-to-door bolts for lateral adjustment only. Loosen the hinge-to-body bolts for both lateral and vertical adjustment.
FRONT DOORS
REAR DOORS

BEFORE YOU START:

• Determine which hinge bolts are to be loosened and back them out just enough to allow movement.
• To move the door safely, use a padded pry bar. When the door is in the proper position, tighten the bolts to 19-25 ft. lbs. (26-35 Nm) and check the door operation. There should be no binding or interference when the door is closed and opened.
• Door closing adjustment can also be affected by the position of the lock striker plate. Loosen the striker plate bolts and move the striker plate just enough to permit proper closing and locking of the door.

• Loosen the front door hinge to front door bolts.
• Adjust the front door alignment.

FRONT DOOR FORE AND AFT ADJUSTMENT Check the rear door hinge adjustment before adjusting the front door hinge.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT The following procedure is for performing fore, aft, up, down and tilt adjustments.

• Remove the door striker.
• Loosen the bolts only enough to allow for slight door movement.
• Carefully close and adjust the door until flush with the adjacent body panels.
• Carefully open the door and tighten the bolts.
• Re-install and adjust the door striker.
• Check the door for proper operation and alignment.

STRIKER ADJUSTMENT Mark the position of the striker before loosening.

• Loosen the striker retaining bolts.
• Adjust the door striker and tighten the striker retaining bolts.

Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

should be a fuel cut off switch on drivers floor on door side.

Turn the key to the on position and plug in a scan tool and scan the computer. use the trouble code and go to mitchell on demand and search the trouble code and the program will tell you what is malfunctioning and how to fix it.

In the front of the cherokee, right side under the bumper there is a football shaped plastic canister.
The canister is a resoiver for vacuum that control the heat and defrost doors. Either it is cracked from the fender bender or the body shop didn't connect the vacuum lines.

sit on hood or pound on it (center front) while assistant pulls cable release from inside..then adjust stops so it wont happen again...have you had a fender bender recently?
