Woody has to throw R/C out of the Jeep to save Buzz. The other toys will think he's a murderer and throw him out, too. He'll ride R/C up the street with Scud chasing them, until he lights the rocket tapped to Buzz. They'll fly up, Woody will let go of R/C so he flies into the back, but wait.. I just lit a rocket. Rockets EXPLODE!!! Activate Buzz's wings. He's FLYING! No, he's not flying. He's falling... with style.

In the end, they'll land safely next to Andy. See? They were right there all along.

I'd suggest you get a new tail light. As for the dents, leave them. Dents give a jeep character!

Do you have accessory (what turns the radio on) power going to the radio harness? Do you have constant power to the harness?

I'm using the factory wiring harness but I matched and crimped the new sterio plug in the old ones place. Yellow factory wire in constant and red factory wire is the accessory and they r both hooked up to radio.

I was driving along happy as a lark yesterday in the Cherokee, and all of the sudden it stopped running. Again.

When I got out, there was a slight smell of something burning.

I opened the hood, and after a little investigating, discovered the CPS wire had somehow come loose from it's tywraps (how is that even possible), and fell down on the exhaust pipe.

The heat melted the insulation, and it apparently shorted out on the metal.

Since I had an extra I had bought just in case (imagine that!) I stuck it on, making sure it was as close to the flywheel as possible and tried to start it, but it's a no go. We finally towed it home. (again)

This crap is getting old.

Another Cherokee friend says it happened to him, and it turned out it fried the computer.

Any suggestions on what I should check before I spend hours troubleshooting?
Well.. never got a response from anyone, so I started by checking connections (which didn't help), then swapped the ECU under the dash for another one known to be good, after which it fired right up.

Put the old one back in, doesn't start. Put the good one in.. start.

So, new CPS, good ECU, and I'm back in business.

Fans will only blow as defroster above 10,000ft of elevation or so. I get back down to 6-7000 and it works properly. Vacuum issues? I believe the selecter runs on vacuum. I can start chasing down cracks. Any easy to replace ones? I'd just throw a few bucks at new parts if it'd help narrow the search.

Also, the jeep had no stereo in it when I bought it.
just went out and check the wires with my multimeter and the constant power is only getting .01-.02 volts but the accessory wire is getting about 14 volts. Anybody know what's wrong?

fixed it! Turns out the fuse on the right is what was plugged in so I put the fuse on the left in and boom, it works.
