I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee with the 3.7. I have replaced the radiator, cap, thermostat, and water pump. Sitting with or without the a/c on, it's fine. The minute I put it in gear it overheats

The main culprits for overheating in any cooling system are: malfunctioning fan, bad water pump, coolant leaks, stuck thermostat, bad radiator cap seal, head gasket leak, contaminated fluid or bubbles in the cooling system.

You can eliminate water pump and thermostat!

After sitting for a few days truck will not start without using starting fluid or gas?

this indicates a leak back problem if on a fuel injected system or a leak in the carby system
if a manual pump it would indicate that the pump valves are faulty and not sealing properly and on an electronic system, it indicates a faulty pressure regulator , failing fuel pump, faulty filters , leaking hose connections

Puddle under the right headlight that is not water

Check ALL of your fluids - Power Steering, Brake Reservoir and transmission. You could have a cooler line that is leaking.
Does your AC still work?

Is there a possibility that its from another vehicle?
- Something like apartment complex parking?

If no, look for drips off of components in your vehicle to isolate the source. You may need to wipe down the under carriage and start the car to see where the leak comes from. Use a flashlight to help find the drip(s).

1996 buick windshield washer will not turn on. Plenty of fluid, hoses ok, port (squirter) to windshield is not plugged. Pump is not trying to push any liquid. No blown fuses.Wipers work fine. Everything...

Have someone press or hold the washer switch and listen underhood for a small pump sound {Hum}. If you don't hear a small hum you probably need a new washer fluid pump, pretty common for this old of a car. Imagine for the last 15 years sitting in wet fluid,sometimes drying out, getting refilled, turned on and off, on and off that little pump had it's day and retired! Most auto parts stores sell inexpensive replacements. Easily come out and go back in in reverse order. Pumps are usually mounted underside of fluid tank,just follow any visible washer hose.

The washer fluid is not going through the tubes to put washer fluid on window. The reservior is full. What do I need to do?

It sounds like the problem could be either that the flexible hose that connects from the engine bay to the hood has become kinked or squashed or that the pump itself is not providing sufficient output. For the kinked / squashed hose, use a torch to observe what happens to the hose as the hood is closed. You may have to re-route or twist the hose on the pipe so that it sits without any interference from any other items in the engine bay. If the hoses are OK, then the pump could have some restriction at the inlet or is not running at full speed. If the washer fluid appears cloudy, then there is probably some algae blocking the inlet screen on the pump. To remedy, remove washer bottle and flush / wash to remove any slime then replace and refill, preferably with some washer additive. With hoses and restrictions eliminated and flow is still poor it could only be the pump motor running slow. This could be caused by a leaking seal on the pump shaft allowing water into the motor causing corrosion. You could try dismantling the pump and applying some water resistant grease to the shaft seal but it would only be a temporary fix. Best option for this fault would be to replace the pump motor.

My window washer fluid leaks totally out when

Generally.....3 things happen.
The washer fluid plastic bottle may be cracked....not likely.
The pump (and or gasket at the pump) may be leaking ......30%.
The rubber hose pushed onto the pump to direct the washer fluid up to the window may have popped off........70% ......most likely.

Brake pedal goes to floor. No fluid leaks found. Fluid is at the full mark. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

It needs a master cylinder. The only other thing it could be is if you have an exhaust leak, boiling the brake fluid, but this would happen as you drive it, not just sitting there, without it running
