Looking over some old posts, it looks like these things work in different ways for different year models. :confuse:
On my 2000 TJ, low-beam is in the centered position (front to back) pulling it back gives a momentary high-beam, releasing it lets it spring back to low-beam. Pushing it forward, it goes to hi-beam and stays until you pull it back to center.

So I know the the fuel system is a pressure system, and if it drops below a certain pressure, the pump shuts down. But what if it goes above a certain pressure? Like a half clogged fuel filter? Is the fuel filter inside the tank? Just a thought that I figured I'd throw out there before I go dropping my tank... Thanks for all the help.

It sounds like you are breaking loose some debris in the tank when you hit it with a hammer and then it eventually settles back down and clogs the fuel line.
Now that I think about it, I had an old '72 Impala many years ago that would run for a while and then stop. I replaced the inline fuel filter but it still acted up. The repair shop eventually pulled the tank and boiled it out because they discovered leaves and other things clogging the sock in the tank.

Thanks!

...dem tigers growl.
First thing, of course, is to crawl under your Jeep and check the differential to see if it's full of fluid.
hey, did you ever sort out the problem with the low oil pressure -- i have the same problem at the moment.

The diverter door problem has been with the Dodge Vans since the 70's.
Your dealer needs to take the whole thing apart and lube all the little plastic bits and hopefully put it back together the right way.
If you keep the JEEP long enough you will have to do it again.
The little vacuum motors that move the d-door are not strong enough to overcome the friction of the d-door mechanisms.
You can always find solace in the fact that Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep saved 50 cents production cost.
You can always stop and reach up under the dash and help the doors by pushing or pulling on the levers and linkages.
This really sucks when it raining since you need to stand outside the drivers door and reach under the dash to wiggle these things.
If you are in the city and your windows are all fogged up just move the heater control to the defrost position and jump a curb.
Any cop who drives a JEEP will understand this blind driver move.
If we all do this (just like Alice's Restaurant) they will all think it's a movement.
The Crazy TJ Curb Jumper Movement...
It's now out of warranty and the blower switch has failed again
I considered after that 4th time to call Chrysler to complain about it, and get some kind of guarantee that I wouldn’t have to pay to get another one installed (since in good faith I came in under the warranty to get this fixed correctly which obviously it wasn't), but I never did. I may see what happens when I bring it in the 5th time for the same problem. I may also try replacing it myself since its easily accessible.
I have a 1947 Willys CJ2A with the original heater rheostat switch.
The heater core has been rebuilt and the motor was replaced when I converted it to 12 volt, but all the heater wiring is still original.
Weird huh.
I have had the blower switch on my TJ replaced 6 times so far.
Replaced the console once. Smoked the wiring twice.
MoPar still mean buy MOre PARts every day.
You might try checking closely for any looseness in the steering by having one person move the steering wheel while another looks carefully at all of the steering components. All parts obviously must move together.
I discarded a set of tires that have become out-of-round. The tire carcasses can shift, and that might set up an oscillation.
Other posts in the main board have suggested tire pressures as a possible cause. You might try higher and lower pressure to see - just be careful.
Good luck.
Have you tried swapping tires/wheels with somebody to see if a different setup takes care of it?

The Death Wobble can be scary [non-permissible content removed]!
I like you started replacing everything like shocks, tires, and steering parts, which didn’t help. The wobble was still there.
This problem is in most of the Jeep models. The simple answer is bad ball joints. Jeep has a bad design on the upper ball joints.
1. bad control arm bushings
2. bad tie rod ends
3. improperly balanced passenger front wheel
4. loose steering components
Not one had a bad ball joint and in fact 2 of them were new Rubicons.
My old TJ (97 - first year of production), has never had DW, though it has had improperly balanced tires in back. By your statement, mine SHOULD have had DW especially since it was the first year of production.
I'm not calling BS on your statement as balljoints could be a cause of DW, but it surely is NOT the only cause.

I drive a 2005 Jeep Wrangler X on an island in the Carribean.
I don't have problems with leaks, but it often rains here on very short notice and the inside of my Jeep gets wet more often than I'd like and now has a mildew smell about it when I get in.
I have been told that I should just strip out my carpet, but I am afraid that it will hurt the resale value of the Jeep. (Although I suppose it stinking inside will as well!)
I was wondering, has anyone tried Husky floor mat liners?
I thought these might be a good way to collect the water instead of having it sink into the carpet.
Either that, or are there any car deodorizers you recommend?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Removing Foul Odors from your Vehicle's Interior
How to Remove Odors from Your Car or Truck's Interior
I like tossing fresh ground coffee around, but it's just a temporary fix.
When you pull out the carpet, perhaps consider something like Herculiner or Line-X. I'm not sure what options you have available, but Herculiner or Durabak or Rhinolining can be used to cover the floor of the Jeep, protect the paint and prevent rust (an issue on a Caribbean island), provide some sound deadening, and provide mildew-free flooring. It is something you can apply yourself if you don't mind removing the seats and the center console... LOTS of writeups on how to do it on the web.
What island are you on? Just got back from Bonaire 2 weeks ago.

I have had some of the electrical components in the distributor replaced, the fuel pump is new. I just don't know, and neither does the mechanic I take it to, what to do. Any help
