Then, it was the transfer case. Now, it has been seen and fixed by Jeep specialist, what else could have been wrong with it?
It is a full time 4wd, automatic. I am due to accept delivery, and would appreciate info.
Thanks,
Mike...
Good luck!
I have a '98 and had to have the rear axle/wheel bearings replaced at around 100,000 miles.
It basically was making a constant loud "hum" (for lack of a better term) that increased with increasing speed.
It was more noticeable when the rear seats were folded down.
Cost almost $900 at the dealer but has not reoccurred.
That was really the only problem I had with my Jeep that I felt shouldn't have happened.
thanks for your post. It is good to hear of someone with a problem free car. I am hoping to have a trouble free ownership.
Warranties, are tricky as they are $2800 for 3 yrs/36k. I want to take my chances, but some of these post make it sound very risky!
Is yours a FT/4WD?
Also, on a different note, when I open the driver door, it gives a pop sound. I've sprayed WD-40, still does the same thing, other than these two things. I love my Jeep!
It is selectable but I do use the 4WD a fair amount. I have not had any 4WD related issues.
Whether a warranty is worth it or not is always a gamble. I haven't even come close to putting $2800 into my Jeep in the 7 years I've owned it. It now has over 167,000 and is running strong.
A loose gas cap can turn on the light. If that's what it is, the light will go out after several drive cycles.
The dealer sounds a little questionable. How can they possibly know how much it will cost to fix it before even diagnosing the problem?
My daughter's GJC air conditioning blower motor is out. I checked the 40A blower motor fuse in the relay?/fuse box next to the battery. It ohmed out o.k. Where is the blower motor relay located? The only thing in the "box" that looked like it could be a possibility was the ASD or the TCM. One person posted a message on another GJC and said that the relay was under the battery (hopefully on an older model GJC).
My daughter and I thank you for your advice!
My '94 GC with Quadratrac is randomly displaying "Service 4WD Switch" on the VIC when driving on dry pavement. Does anyone know what this means? How hard it is to fix? or how much it will cost? Any input or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Mark
ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT
I CHANGED THE AIR FILTER STILL THE SAME PROBLEM

The 4.0 L exhaust manifolds are known for cracking.
Contact someone like crutchfield and see what they recommend. I put a Sony CD player in my Jeep and I've been pretty happy with it.
If you want a particular model number, let me know and I'll dig it up.
"Stomp and steer" is what they say.
Why do you want to disable them?
I disconnected the battery for 4 hours and the problem seemed to go away.
Any info would be appreciated.
There is no access to the drain (it flows into the space between the frame member that meets up with the firewall right in front of the passenger side)
Drill a 1/4" hole right in the center of the round plastic piece that drops down to the firewall from the evap housing. Blow it out with air and plug it with a rubber plug or a bit of silicone.
Hopefully this will take care of the problem. It did not fully take care of the problem for me. I continue to get leakage around the plastic thing that I drilled. I have used a lot of silicone but still get a little leakage. (which makes me quite mad)
If you have any thoughts here, or can send me somewhere I would appreciate it. I am getting tired of working on this little problem. As is my wife, it is here car.

Here is the link to the site I bought it from: Stereo
I paid $165 for it but I see it is on sale for even less.
One thing to note is that I already had the harness adapter installed on my Jeep because I had a previous Sony in there. I don't believe you will get one ordering through this website.
Crutchfield supplies them free but their stereos generally cost more.
You will also need an adapter to make the stereo fit (this is common when replacing a stereo).
and shuts down, the gages are all zero'ed to the left but everything else electrical still works, starter, power windows, radio, horn lights, etc. etc.. The problem is most likely the PCM. The dealership has them on back-order for 3 weeks so there must be a run on them, place your $600 order early!
You can test the gages by pushing in the Odometer button and turning the key to RUN.
When the PCM overheats and shuts down the CCD Bus,
1. The Volt Meter reads zero volts. It returns to normal or about 12 volts after the PCM cools for 30 minutes and reapplies power to the CCD Bus and the gages. The engine will crank, the power windows and sun roof still work, so I listen to the radio while everyone honks and gives me the finger while I block traffic for 30 minutes. Eventually someone will come and help push it out of the road while I spread my love and affection for Chrysler / Jeep products. Meanwhile, you just might see me in the slow lane when I feel daring enough to take it out of the garage. Feel free to stop and help me push it out of the way. We can share stories about the Jeeps of yesteryear for about 30 minutes until this one fires up again!
2. The Tempreture Gauge reads zero. It was running at the normal 200 - 210 degrees before it stalled and returns to about 180 after the PCM cools for 30 minutes.
3. The Fuel Gage reads zero. It was 3/4 full before the stall and returns to 3/4 after the PCM cools for 30 minutes.
4. The Fuel Pump doesn't run for the 1 second prime cycle when the key is turned to the RUN position. Bypassing the Fuel Pump Relay by jumpering connections (30 to 87) causes the Fuel Pump to run continiously (so's my proboem isn't with the fuel pump). The engine will still crank, but it won't run.
This seems to be an over-heated PCM shut down of the fuel and Ignition Systems evidenced by the gages all going to the left. It hasn't happened, yet, on 70 F degree days. The PCM is covered under the Extended Federal Emissions waranty for 8 years or 80,000 miles, I just turned over 82,000 miles and yes, Chrysler is alinating current owners and future buyers over 2,000 miles! It has been acting up for months and I have been buying the repair parts and discussing the problem with the mechanics in their dealership!

I haven't used my Jeep in 3 weeks. I started it up and door it for a drive to the gas station. Initially, I could not get out of first gear and assumed I must have a transmission problem. I let the Jeep sit and tried again. Now the gears seem to be shifting smoothly. The Check Engine Light is still on.
Does it take long to go away if the problem is fixed?
What are all these codes that people are talking about? How do I get them?
Why else would this light go on?
Thanks
Thanks

Anyone have any ideas before I buy a new battery and starter.
Thanks :confuse:
Thanks
Why is it that most Jeeps have a very heavy wind noise at higher speeds but then some are real quiet. For example two '04's, same body style, why would one be quiet and the other be loud?
Thanks. :confuse:
