honestly I did not and I realize that is causing at least some of it. I was just stating that a new trans mount isn't a fix all. Could be the engine could be the trans.

I checked the fuse in position 25 marked ABS, Climate Control. Fine. There are three block type fuses that look like relays but they are described in the manual as circuit breakers for the power windows, power seats and front wipers.

While trouble shooting I noticed the check engine light was on. When trying to test to see if the blower motor worked, I also noticed the electric cooling fan was not coming on when I turned the AC on.

I was near and Auto Parts store that offers a free diagnostic. Came up with code "p1491 Fan Relay Circuit"

are the electric fan and blower motor tied together?

I still can't find the relay. I did some searching on this forum and it seems that there might be a relay under the dash where the resistor is located. Does that sound right?

Too bad this is different from the 98 i have because i finally was able to find my way around on that one. This one is a 2000 Limited and has factory remote start and power seats and some other bells and whistles.

Changed the cooling fan relay under the hood. Cooling fan did not come on.

I do not want to take it to a repair shop so they can charge me a couple hundred to change the blower motor relay.

Could this be a more complex electrical problem?

Any help or suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Without the knowledge and expertise of the members of this forum, I do not think I'd be able to afford to own an older XJ. (which would suck because I love them).

Hey folks, I've got a '90 4.0 and I'm getting a kind of high idle (about 1,200 RPM) but only while in park or neutral and only after driving for a bit. In reverse, drive, everything else it idles at about 800 all the time. I did swap in an air box air box from a 93 XJ which kind of crushed the air hose down, and I took off the map sensor and hose to let a friend borrow and see if it would fix his problem, also I removed the throttle body to take some pictures of it to see if I could get it bored out. I don't drive this jeep often, today is the first time in probably a month, so I'm not 100% sure when this started

I'm trying to help someone diagnose a No Start condition (remotely) in a '99 4.0L auto. I'm told it isn't getting any power to fuses 21, 24, and 27 in the PDC. If my source is correct, that's PCM/ignition coil, O2S heater, and Sentry Key immobilizer, respectively.

What would trigger power loss on these three fuses?

Ah forget it. I'm not swapping axles. I have a nice set of brakes ready to go on the LP already in, new unit bearings, ball joints, and u joints. I'm just gonna regear the LP.

Thanks for putting up with my questions about this swap while I teeter back and forth on options. I'm done.

Sticky IAC perhaps?

You're correct on what the fuses feed. However, their supply is not common. Fuses 21 (O2 heaters) and 24 (coil, injectors, and sense input for the PCM) come from the ASD relay (Fuse 19, 25A). Fuse 27 is actually fed off a splice from Fuse 9 (20A), which is for the A/C clutch...

you can put all the parts you just listed on an older, high pinion axle. I swapped my hub bearings from an older style to the newer style because I accidentally got the wrong rotors...

I suspected the ASD relay wasn't providing power. That relay has been swapped with the fuel pump relay; no change.
I asked about the #11 fuse on the inside panel, and she said it was blown and then was replaced during troubleshooting

Only of handful of reasons the ASD relay won't be energized. Does the PCM power on?

Okay my turn:

I'm replacing the hard brake line for the front right. The proportioning valve fitting is 5/16", correct?

Default First Jeep

So I just bought my first ever Jeep. It's a 2015 Latitude with the 4 cylinder. I wanted to v6 but after driving the 4 I was sold. It had plenty of power for my driving needs even though I had read otherwise. Anyways, my question here is how do you know if your Jeep has active drive 1 or active drive 2? Hopefully my first post here isn't too dumb of a question.

Oops, sorry I think I put this question in the wrong place. I'll figure this out.

So I removed the TPS for a friend to test on his jeep and see if it fixed his problem, which it didn't, but after I put it back on it fixed mine idles normal in any gear or neutral or park. Yay for easy fixes.
