Default Hey guys few questions here!

Have a 1998 jeep cherokee classic. So this is a question for you 97-01 Cherokees unless you know the answer! 1st I have power window but my automatic roll down on my driver door doesn't work?? Any help on what I can do to fix it?? 2nd my check gages light is on?! Don't know what to do about that! 3rd the guy before me put on bushwaker fender flares the cutout ones and he didn't cut and fold the fenders nor did he leave the wheel well plastic thing in so I'm getting water in my jeep! Any way of fixing that? Please let me know if you have any ideas that will help me out!!

Can't help the electric stuff as I'm all manual doors and windows. I took my rubber wheel well pieces out. I didn't like the overhang since I removed the front bumper. I'm going to be doing flex seal on the areas that "bleed" into the door area and engine bay. Just a thought

for the check engine light, just take it to any autoparts store to have them check the code, but dont let them try to tell you what to fix. just come back to use with the trouble code and we will point ya in the right direction.

The window issue is probably the switch.
The check gauges light is supposed to come on when one or more of the gauges is out of the normal range. Low oil pressure, over temperature, voltage problems. Are any of the gauges reading funny?

I used some on a leaking roof vent on my house. Seemed like overpriced undercoating to me. Leak came back after less than a year, the stuff dried out and cracked in the sun.
