I've got a new prob and it's coming from my tranny, i've an AW4 automatic tranny with [P-R-N-D-3-1]. it has recently stopped shifting when it is cold.

i've put in a new filter and a gasket fresh fluid repaired the oil cooler lines; adjusted the TPS from a reading of 0.4+ to 0.8 and the prob is still there.

if i start her up and leave her to idle for approx. 10mins or so the tranny shifts ok other than that it won't. I've even placed some bottles of tranny fix and still nothing.

can anyone please give me some insight on what could be my prob.

Default Steering noise

Hey, I can't seem to put my finger on it. All of a sudden I'm getting a grinding noise from my steering when I turn it left. I have no tie rods, ball joints are good. It sounds like it's coming from the power steering itself, would this be a pump issue? seems like there is fluid coming out somewhere. It was dirty, I guess from wheelin it. So, I drained and filled back up, could the pump be clogged? Not really sure any advise or help would be appreciated.

If it's leaking like you say, and you didn't notice it for a while, driving it could have potentially messed it up, causing the noise. Check the reservoir for any bits of metal to make sure the pump didn't get damaged and put some stop leak in. If you find metal shards and bits, you've got a problem.

Anyone who can answer, please do so on the above thread. I'm sure a few other users have this same question.

Default 95/96 Cherokee problems

I have a 1995 Cherokee that I just recently acquired, I am having electrical problems with the blinkers and the dash lights. Went to pick up a flasher unit for a 95 but couldn't find where in the fuse block it was to be placed. Further reading and inspection under the dash I found another relay panel. upon reading even further I discovered the emergency flasher relay is a combination relay that matches the 96 schematics, in which I will pick one up tomorrow. Has anyone else ever come across this problem before? Also none of my dash lights are not working, as well as the fan controls. Power port, rear wiper and some other items are working fine. Can anyone give me some other ideas, schematics or other words of wisdom that might help?

Check all fuses, all under the hood and in the passenger side kick panel (Not sure if they have it on 95). Hold them up to the light and check, if that doesn't solve the problem it sounds like you might have a bad ground or something.

Yea checked all fuses and connections. Every thing looks good. BUT, even though it is a 95, it seems to have a 96 fuse panel. Have you ever seen or heard of this before? It has me totally perplexed...
