How long did that take you to pull out? Jw, I'm currently dealing with my AC and my heater core is bad so I figured I'd rip it a part and replace both back there.

 

That was the first time I'd done it. I'd say it took me about 2 hours to figure out how to get it all apart by myself and another hour and a half to get it back together.

I could probably do the whole job in about 2 and half hours now that I know how it all comes apart.

 

Oh OK. I did it once in a 96 s10 and it wasn't that bad. The computer said it'd take 7 hrs start to finish and we did it in like 2-3

 

As you can see in my picture I didn't disconnect any of the drivers side wiring or remove the steering wheel. I unbolted and lowered the column and then fished the HVAC box out in the provided space. If I would have had some help it would have gone faster. It was a pain trying to hold the dash up and out of the way far enough while trying to fish out the HVAC box. Then it takes another half hour to remove the 247 screws that hold the two halves of the HVAC box together...

 

What would cause no spark? I got a code for bad CPS and I'm getting no spark. Also should I pick up a new coil?

 

The code probably knows what it's talking about. A bad CPS will cause no spark. No, the coil is probably fine but if you have a wad of cash you're dying to spend, go for it.

 

Bad cps= no spark.. it says you have a bad cps
...you have a bad cps...

 

But hey if your intent on blowing cash I bet lowrange has a use for it

 

Finally figured out why my jeep wasn't starting. The dang ignition coil died. Its amazing how one little thing will kill everything. I also exchanged the old caps for a new one

 

From what I understand the 88 pulls apart similar except there are clips on the box not screws. The Haynes book says unbolt the steering wheel like you mentioned.

 

How much should I pay for an overhead console without the wiring or mounting bracket?

 

is there any way to tighten the center console ? Mine is pretty loose toward the back.

Also does anyone know of a cheap place to replace the center console latch?
Mine has been broken since I bought it

Thanks

 

I bet the plastic console mount is broke just like most every xj. Guy on here makes steel one. Remove console and check to see if its broke.
there are two screws that hold the console to the black plastic mount inside the bottom of the console.

Latch is junk. Even new ones if you can find em.

 

Yeah I'm the one that makes steel ones

 

I wonder if I could make a metal console latch
