Ah ok, sorry. That was assembled before the spindle winding from the factory. What i have done is a very thin hair cut on one of the sides, i used a razor blade, to slide in the seat belt.

Ah, thanks for the tip.

Air vents stuck in defrost mode. This one cropped up today. No matter where I set the A/C controls, the air only blows out the side vents and the defrost position. I have not changed anything lately. Any ideas where I should start looking first? I think it is likely a vacuum problem but want to try the easy things first before tearing out the dash.


Where should I start?

Check the vacuum lines from the blower to the bumper

I'm having fuel issues with my 1990 Cherokee Laredo it takes forever to start and when is do get it started it will idle and eventually die and when i drive it, it will put put and die, and when you spray gas on the injecters it would idle a bit higher, it doesn't get enough pressure to the rail the fuel filter is new so what could cause this to happen.

Ok guys, ive been searching for a while now. Im looking at a 94 grand cherokee. It is acting pretty weird. You can grab the steering wheel and turn the wheel back and forth. The body sways back and forth only on the front. What in the world would be causing this. NO i did not test drive it. It is dang near dent free and the interior is awesome. Hes only asking $700 for it because of this issue. Any suggestions of what this is?

Thanks for the help. By the way im a noob here. However ive been creeping for months, just never posted up. DOn't have anything to show....

How much life can you get out of these 4.0 L six cylinder engines? My original untouched engine has 322,000 km (201,000 mi) on it and still runs strong. Just a bit of blow-by but doesn't burn any oil yet and the oil pressure is still straight up on the gauge!

I'm new here so hello everybody! My '98 xj has 290,000 miles and runs as if it's brand new except for the belt squeals for a second at start-up.

Help, 199 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 won't start!

Replaced battery 2 weeks ago, everything was working great. Got in the jeep a few days ago and it was hard to start, took 3 or 4 tries to get it going. Drove home, later that night tried to start it and it clicked once and then after that no sounds at all. The lights in the car do not go on or nothing on the dash, no sounds or lights. Disconnected the battery cables and mad sure they were clean, put back on and when you open the door the lights in the jeep are on. You turn the key and you see the cluster light up and here the door chime. Try to turn it over an you hear once click and nothing else. The light s are now off again in the car and no lights or sounds on the dash. Tried to jump start it Nothing. disconnected the negative cable on the battery and put it back on , open the door and and lights are back on, turn the key lights on dash are on again and door chimes, but only clicks once again and everything is off. No crankin action at all. Help What should I try.
