I have a brake drum question.. I took off my left rear drum and a piece fell out. Its got a cable (broke) and a flat piece of steel with a spring in the middle of it. I see where the other end of the cable is attached but I don't see wher the piece of metal and spring go. Any help? Thanks!

Grab one from a jeep at the junkyard.
Why do you need a new dashboard??? Unless you mean the instrument cluster (which i believe also will not work - they changed a lot in 2000)

1997 Cherokee rear windshield washer fuse
Hello,
I am working on the rear windshield washer on my 1997 Jeep Cherokee, and I'm trying to figure out which fuse is used for the rear windshield washer. My fuse panel in in the passenger side foot area and the fuses are arranged in two vertical rows. I can find nothing about this in the owners manual and/or my Chilton repair manual.
I am replacing the (two) washer motor(s) and the dashboard switch for the rear washer.
Any advice will be appreciated
thank-you

I don't see why it would hurt anything. It might cause accelerated wear on the transfer case, but other than that I don't see any problems with it.

its fine because 4hi has a syncro that allows it to engage on the move and thats what is for because if your goin up hill and start to lose traction you can throw it into 4hi without loosing momentum

cranks over but as its cranking it hesitates sometimes it does it other times its fine???
sometimes you gotta let it crank for a while before it finally kicks over.
plugs, fuel pump, cap/rotor, wires, battery, starter, coil are new.
any known electrical issues to look for?
any one experience this cranking problem before?
