I think you may be referring to the black ball for keyless entry in earlier model cherokees.

 

I think there is a method to recalibrate these in the owners manual. BTW I'm lifted and I have lockers and mine is dead on.

 

No the black ball thing is for a keyless entry.

 

Admittedly, it would bother me to, but it's low on the list. I've heard the temp sensor is under the bumper. Try cleaning it. If nothing else, pull another from the JY.

 

Now I have heard from a machanic that you can drive in a circle like 10 time and it should rest it but I dont know if he was just pulling my leg or not. lol

 

oh, ok, well its on the ceiling of the 91 we are getting and I also noticed the heads up display does not light up , so figured thats what you were talking about....

 

Does yours look like this

 

If this is aimed at me... then YES, the lil black ball is just outta frame and the display is right there in the front....

 

Ya its a bad pic but it gets the point acrossed. As far as I know the whole thing needs to be replaced. Maby im wrong but I had mine out when I redid the upholstery on it and It is one peice. Maby if your good and know electrial stuff you could re soder the board.

 

i had the same problem in my 92 xj,snatched a couple of the sensors at the junkyard tried both of em and nothing,but i have a couple spares of the temp display im going to try to swap one in when it warms up because it looks like a booger to replace when the overhead console is removed and you can actually look at it

 

its 1 screw to hold the console up and I think 3 screws holding the lights on that just releases the unit o and a couple wires. Well if you have some spares and they work how much you want? lol

 

Well after doing some research there is an ambient air temp sensor that corrolates with over head console. They are like 20 bucks new at autozone or advance or napa or where ever your part store of choice would be. I'll be picking out up eventually. I just have bigger fish to fry at this point. I'll keep everyone posted as to my success of the new sensor install.

 

X'2 i hate it. not one to leave things... i just dont like the, know all too well..."oh yea thats broken, dont look at it" i hate explaining things.

 

dude nice visors an console cover. custom i assume, love that checker!!

 

Do you know where it is?
