Default day 4 of problem solving...

Thanks for all the help so far guys, i hope to get my Jeep on a lift at the end of the week to try and fix some of the issues that it has....

Now for more questions!

My centre console (roof mounted), has been giving me a headache for awhile now...

From the 'Off' position, the first setting is the Compass and the Temp, compass is working fine, but the temp reads 'OC' (open circuit), next up i have my ODO,the MPG average and the MPG 'underfoot' as i call it, goes down as you press the gas

Then i have the miles of diesel left in my tank, works fine, but the last reading is what is really bugging me, '73:47ET'?????

From doing a bit of reading on the centre console functions it should have a mini trip, compass and temp setting.....what is this final reading? Im sorry if this seem real dumb questions, but there bugging the hell outa me!

I think that the Temp sensor may have been removed from the Jeep, therefore the 'OC' or open circuit reading is up...I have tried a few searches to get a picture of the sensor to find it, either on the Jeep or missing, but i havn't been able to find any, so if someone had a spare minute and a camera, a picture would be greatly appreciated too guys...

If you cant access this site from over there i hope you can but if you cant let me know this is the 1999 parts break down when you go into it, it is sorted by all sorts of things and has priceless pictures and part numbers.

Try looking on page 201. If that doesnt work then do a search in the .pdf for TEMP SENSOR.

If it's like the display in my Grand Cherokee the display that's bugging you is for the "ETA" or "Estimated Time of Arrival" used on a trip. JMO
