I'd need a diagram for the wiring. More than likely you need to jump something.

You must loosen the pulley bolt then work on the tensioner adjuster. This writeup pictures a ZJ. The belt routing is a bit different and we have the electric fan right in front of it, however the actual tensioner part is identical to 99+ 4.0L XJs: http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums...d.php?t=290558 I also recommend Goodyear Gatorback

It's technically a 28mm nut but 1 1/8" will work.
