Default No heat/HVAC

I have no heat/air coming from any of selections. Just over the past two weeks, my Switch had melted/ broke. I bought a new switch, pulled my dash to see the wires were melted. I haven't replaced yet because I don't have another pigtail/ harness to replace mine with. I still had heat on HI though when I picked defrost or anything.

Now, I have no heat/air coming from anything no mater what I select. I checked my Fuse under the dash and it is still good. I am hoping there is something else I can check/replace real quick while I prep for a whole system over haul. Any Ideas?

Would a specte intake on a renix improve gas mileage at all? My wifes XJ currently gets 17mpg city, about 19-20 highway. Fixing it up and if its worth it i may just pick up the spectre.

Would a drop in K & N work to improve mileage at all?

True. I never think of that. Probably because I never see Libertys in the JY. No grinding.

Probably not. Not to mentionn it will suck in hot engine bay air and you live in Phoenix.

So you've got another tank? If not how big is the hole?

I found a 242 TC (Select Trac) mated to a 42RE trans out of a 2000 WJ

I've talked the guy into separating the tv from the trans... Does anyone know if this particular 242 will work with an AW4 in a 92 xj?

If they are the same ill order the dirtbound one. From what I read the IRO one will do exactly what I need... work with the 242 and be able to use a stock front dshaft.

It will do just fine. I put one on my '88 with the 231 and it still serves me well.
