This kinda happened to me, had the lights on and turned off the jeep. Lights were still on, no matter what I did they stayed on. I finally started the jeep again, pulled out the headlight switch (on) then pushed it back in (off) and the lights went off. Turned off the jeep and all was normal. still dont know why it did that.

 

mine does the same thing if you turn the key off first then shut the switch off just the head lights will stay on for a few min. thats normal nothing to worry about they do shut off on there own as long as you shut them off at the switch after shuting you jeep off

 

Cool! thats good to know. thanks

 

its a cool Jeep thing,no all XJs have this feature,its a curtisy feature

 

Its not the crankshaft position sensor(CKP). If it was the CKP your jeep wouldn't start at all.

It could be the fuel pump too. They tend to go out after 150k miles.

 

I am trying to figure out the best way to disconnect my airbags when I take it on the trail. I have a 2001 xj and I heard the airbag sensor is under the drivers seat. I was told there was either a fuse or the sensor you can disconnect. If anyone knows how to disconnect the airbags I would really appreciate it.

hello, i am currently working on getting some s-10 leaf springs in. i started removing the driver side and noticed that the center pin is smaller then the s-10 pack.what can i do to fix this right? i am thinking about drilling out the holes in the xj pack to make sure everthing is lined up. however i have already broke 1 bit. what do you think?

thank you

 

i have a 97 cherokee se, i went to install a new radio and i cut the existing wire harness off and spliced the the radios wires into those...after that nightmare i decided to put the original stereo back in < lol > i soldered the old wires back into place but now my instrument cluster, and rear tailights dont light up? Brake Lights work, the interior overhead light works as well as the headlights. Any ideas as to what i can do to fix this would be much appreciated

 

Check the fuses. Ten bucks says you blew a red 10A fuse when you rewired the deck.

 

I have 2 questions...

I've got a 98 Cherokee SE, 4.0, 4wd, 148,000 miles.

1) Whenever I'm going slow (like 3mph literally) I hear a kind of popping, sliding, grinding noise from the front end. I'm in 2wd when it happens. Doesn't happen when I'm stopped or while driving any faster. Just like parking lot speeds.

2) After I shut the truck off, I hear a weird popping and gurgling sound out back. I'm wondering if it's the gas tank or maybe air in a fuel return line or something. It also smells warm sometimes, but not like coolant or overheating, bit it smells more like a bonfire. Strange, I know.

Thanks in advance!

 

Yea we replaced the flasher unit already but we havent done a voltage check so maybe one of the wires are not working to the unit

 

Here is another question does anyone have a wiring diagram for the circuits for the turn signals

 

I have an 89 XJ that squeals incessantly. The water pump has been replaced, and we just replaced the AC compressor (with a salvaged one), it's got a new serpentine belt...and yet during acceleration it's a constant high-pitched squeal. I tightened the belt so that it can't go past 90 degrees but maybe I should tighten it more. There is one weird thing: The squeal was constant and came in a rhythm before the compressor was replaced -- now it doesn't squeal during stops/reversing, only when accelerating.

Does anyone have any more ideas? This couldn't have anything to do with the crankshaft or anything, could it?

 

sounds like the belt isn't tight enough
