    Which steering box brace? Bearing or not?

    1995 XJ 2-door with cheap 2.5 in lift and 30"s from a PO. Mostly a daily/work vehicle. New adjustable track bar and parts ended up with a good alignment and decent ride. It's always had steering that was vague on center, but since I've been doing a bit more off-road I thought it was time to...

    Fan not turning on when hot- fan works!

    95 XJ 4.0, auto. I don't drive this much when salt is on the road but use it mostly for hauling and local work. I was starting to get hot readings when pushing it (like going up a long hill). Gauge would read between 210 and the next hash mark, sometimes touch it. Never pushed it into the...

    Shifter and NSS out of alignment

    My 1995 XJ 2-door was bought with a cheap 3in. lift. Somehow when installing it the PO didn't re-adjust the shifter. When in reverse, it almost shows that it's in drive. This also screws with the neutral safety switch. I have to click it out of park and halfway into Reverse in order to...

    Blower fan only works on high?

    Glad to be back on the board with a new-to-me 1995 2-door auto. Previous owner did some strange stuff, working it out now. He had someone look at the blower which was not working, and I'm not sure if they tried to fix the relay or not, but their solution was just to bypass the motor...

    Which clockspring for 97 XJ?

    My airbag light is always on and cruise control stopped working. I'm pretty sure this means the clockspring is dead. So it seems there are different clocksprings for different years. Can anyone show me where to find a part number for a 97 with cruise control? Also- not sure if they're...

    New fuel pump- now won't stay running!

    After a few months at the dealer for a recall, I was having some hesitation and starting problems. I've had to "cycle the key" for a while, and figured the fuel pump might finally be on it's way out. Tested with a fuel pressure gauge, and with the old pump it would take a while to get up to...

    Replaced fuel pump- still doesn't prime.

    So I dropped the tank and replaced the fuel pump following instructions here: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/fuel-filter-pump-replacement-97s-up-138580/ Worked just fine, except the Bosch pump had a slightly different fuel "sock" design to filter. Everything went back together and once...

    How to replace passenger airbag?

    Searched and couldn't find a good writeup of this. My passenger airbag deployed, which led to a convoluted 2-month recall annoyance. Now that my jeep's back, I'd like to replace the passenger airbag, and hopefully turn off the "airbag" light in the dash. I'd like to do this by tearing...

    Barely running after recall work.

    So I had an unintended airbag deployment, so I took it in for the module recall work (Recall ID # 8066) and they also did the fuel system level recall at the same time ( Recall ID # 12355). First- It took them 2 months (!) to do the recall, and over 20 calls to them...

    Checked dash lights and airback went off! Please help!

    So I've been having the speedometer periodically not work for the past few years, but lately it got worse. So I thought I'd do a little diagnosis. Thought I would check the dash connection first. So I did the diagnostic- put the key in, pushed the trip meter and turned the key to "run" and. ...

    Driver's window won't go up!

    Searched, but couldn't come up with good terms that didn't give me a couple hundred discussions. Driving along on a spring-like day. Rolled the window down a bit, and now it won't roll back up. No noise, no strain, no nothing. I don't have a time to dig into the panel right now, but is there...

    Closed hatch on tarp- now it won't open!!

    The title says it all. The tarp has somehow jammed the mechanism, and I have no idea how to release it. I can't be the only person who has been stupid/unlucky enough to do this. Any ideas?

    Soft brake pedal?- try this.

    Noticed my pedal was getting progressively softer, and losing power, specifically from the rear brakes. So much for self-adjusting, right? So I first tried the "put it in reverse, get up to 15, and slam on the brakes". Still nothing. I thought I'd have to bleed, use brake spoons, pull the...

    Transfer case from Grand Cherokee?

    did a quick search, but. . . Sorry if I'm hasta but just saw an offer for a np242 from a 1996 Grand Cherokee 4.0l for sale cheap. I have a 97 XJ, and I'd like the full-time option for the daily driver. Is anything else needed for the swap other than the t-case. Obviously I'd like to get the...

    Second battery cable- what's it for?

    Stupid question, but my 97 sport has a second cable coming off the side +terminal that has been partially corroded. So: 1. What's it for? 2. Would it be a good idea to replace the partially corroded section (already cleaned it out w/baking soda soaking)? 3. What's the best way to go about it?
