I took off my doors and disconnected the sensor/button whatever you wanna call it to keep it from buzzing and so my dome light wouldn't stay on, but when I disconnected it the buzzing stopped and the dome light still stays on. Any ideas on why that might be? Is there another sensor I'm missing?

I bought second hand fenders because my current ones are bent. I went with second hand because they were a lot cheaper (money speaking, but I'm guessing the metal has to be cheap too). So I was wondering how long do you think those are gonna last me? Are they like super easy to bend, like let's say if someone would lean on my fender?

Other way around. When you push the button in it opens the circuit.

Did you pull the passenger side switch?
Wow I cant believe I didn't realize that was my problem haha. Nope, I was so irritated by the time I got to the passenger side that I didn't even think of one being there. I will pull it when I get off of work. Thanks a lot!

i have a 1991 cherokee laredo 2 door that *has* been converted to R134a but a 110 year old woman who smoked all her life can blow out more air than this thing is doing. i want to update the compressor to one used in say a 2000 cherokee, are they the same except R134 compliant? i'll eventually replace much of the system cause i'm a big dude that needs my AC so thought i'd find out if i can get one native to R134 cause this looks like it was just the cheap conversion kit put on it.
thanks!
thanks!

So I got a 85 Cherokee with 2.5 and 40k miles right before I moved from Kansas to Illinois for school and I love it. I saw a video on YouTube of Cherokee that had a windshield sun visor or whatever the proper name is and I decided I need one. I have had zero luck finding one online, any ideas from anyone? Any links or places to check would be great!

hey guys. im doing a 4.6l stoker engine build. I have the 4.2 crank and connecting rods and was wondering if i would be able to use the 4.2 head on he 4.0 block. i know the combustion chamber sizes are the same but im just not sure if everything would bolt up correctly, or if i would loose potential power by using the old head. has anyone heard of using the 4.2 head on a 4.0 block? thanks for any help!

Use the 4.0 head. It flows much better.
