Re: RE: I hooked someone Hi, Did you ever check for +12 volts to the ignition module and any wiring components upstream (such as the starter and main control relays)? I would do that long before buying any new parts. -Nick :!:

RE: I hooked someone Hi, I've seen the light gray gauge faces before, but only on idiot light style clusters, like on Bounty's truck. Never seen them on a 6 gauge cherokee instrument cluster. -Nick :!:

Hi, I'm still thinking it is brake related, as you say it only occurs during brakeing. You could argue that it is actually happening when the Jeep is slowing down (quickly?), as thus has nothing to do with the brakes, but the only way I can think to test that theory would be downshifting into...

Hi, Sounds like the alternator or voltage regulator is bad. Most of the time the voltage regulator is built into the alternator. The ECU regulates the voltage to the powertrain control system(s), but I think that's it. I've never heard of the ECU regulating the voltage for the entire 12 volt...

RE: Re: Trouble codes Hi, The CPS is held to the transmission bellhousing by two bolts. It is near the top of the bellhousing but off towards the driver's side some. Undo the two bolts and unplug the electrical connector to remove the sensor. It is pretty easy. The sensor is $89.99 at...

1997 tj sport $8500 Hi, That probably wouldn't work because the resistors get HOT and the solder might have melted. That is why they are mounted in the path of air from the blower motor -- to help keep them cool. Pushing 30 amps through power resistors makes heat :mrgreen: The vacuum motor...

Hi, Loss of the signal from the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) is far more likely to cause problems than the 02 sensor dropping out. You especially tend to notice stumbling, loss of power, random returns to idle speed during driving, and poor idle if the CPS is not working correctly. I just...

Hi, Sadly, that is not the case, they are all different (it makes perfect sense..... really :roll:). My Cherokee's old Instrment cluster was setup so that every gauge used a different resistance range on the signal wire to move the needle. Some gauges would peg to the right if there was 0...

Hi, The scanner gave you a vague answer because the scanners which the auto part stores use are "dumbed down" a bit (on purpose of course). For a very thourough scan and diagnosis, you'd need access to the kind of scanners which most repair shops and the dealerships have. As for the gas cap...

Hi, Have you inspected all of the components in the drum to ensure all the springs and such asre in place? It could be that the shoes aren't retracting properly... -Nick :!:

Hi, I agree. Intentionally putting any kind of liquid on the wiring harnesses is a bad idea. Instead of trying to displace water, It'd be better to keep ALL liquids off of and out of the harnesses. -Nick :!:

RE: Trouble codes Hi, It gets up to 65 MPH just fine. I haven't really tried pushing it past that yet. (No need to) -Nick :!:

Re: Wiring Question Zip ties can be used in soo many useful applications.... This is not one of them!!! :shock: -Nick :!:

Hi, Terrible Idea. You should never replace fuses with new fuses of a larger size, especially if the old ones were tripping. The whole idea is to protect the wiring. By inserting larger fuses, you allow more current to flow through wiring which is undersized for it, which results in the wires...

Hi, <mini rant> The problem is the wide variety of codecs and file types which are used for video files and streaming video online, and the lack of having a more or less single standard, as is the case for music (MP3 format). Then you have things like the quicktime format, which needs the...

RE: Re: Simple Axle Question... Hi, My cherokee has three relays behind the driver's side plastic panel in the trunk. These were installed from the factory to power the trailer harness for brake/ tail/ turn signal lights. I'm not sure if all cherokees have these relays in that location, or if...

RE: Re: RE: tj jerking around That is called Regenerative braking, and no I don't use it. Regen. braking is an excellent way of increasing EV range some, as the motor basically becomes a large generator whenever you have your foot OFF of the accelerator. The only reason why I don't use it is...

RE: Re: Another cooling question. Hi, No, not at all related to school. The shortend version is this: I want to major in engineering (most likely Electrical Engineering, but study other areas of engineering as well), and also take some classes in Architecture. My first choice college is...

HVAC PROBLEM The same is true for solar power. Many times, even if your solar panel array isn't powerful enough to power your whole house, it can spin your meter backwards during the day when you are not at home (and thus are using very little power). So you figure that not only are you...

Hi, Well, since you asked, the one I carry in the Jeep at all times is about 100' long. I then have adapters so I can plug the Jeep into a wide variety of outlets. These include 120-volt (standard) 15/20amp outlets, 240-volt 30amp or 50amp dryer/range style outlets, 120-volt 30amp twistlock...
