He also said that the box can get 'locked out' causing you to lose all but 1st, 2nd & reverse. He was told that if he disconnected the battery for several hours that that should reset the 'lockout' and everything would be back to normal, but it hadn't worked and that could point to another switch within the box requiring replacement.
Any thoughts on the above?

Just put what you're looking for in the search bar at the top.
Is it possible to fit a Mangefine Filter, if so where?
Have seen some good reports of these filters and also pics of one fitted to a Vovlo S60 [just a tad different] in-line in an external pipe. Not had a good look under mine yet so not sure even if there is a convenient place.
Anyone got any experience or suggestions?

I am experiencing problems with the tranny on cold days only (2008 Grand Cherokee 3.7)
When I start driving, everything is fine and shifts are smoothless, however after driving about half a km, I come to a red light. If i wait for a long time for the light to change and start driving, I can almost take my foot off the brake and the vehicle hardly moves. When I press on the accelerator, the RPM goes high and the vehicle starts lurching, as if accelerating on and off, or seems like the tranny is slipping. I complete the left turn from the intersection and problem is gone for the rest of the driving.........dealer told me that the tranny goes into "limp mode" and there is nothing wrong.....I dont believe this.....maybe someone can provide opinion?
Thanks!
1. Ignition/Starter Click, non start Condition.
2. Lose main power for 10 seconds, and then come back. However car will not start. Trans Over Temp light will flash in main console.
DEALER REPLACED: First the Ignition Switch, (Same as 1 and 2 above 2 weeks later). Then the Starter. When it wouldn't start again..(this time about 3 weeks)
I took it back and told em (dealer) that if they said it was the alternator (alt doesn't matter for ignition problems), was going to sue them for the labor and parts allready done. Must have worked. Bottom line, they said when they changed the starter it was all corroded, heavily. (orig bought in MI). So then they checked the wiring harness into the starter and found that it was melted a bit. Therefore if the starter was that corroded, it was possible it sent more amps down the line than normal. They fixed that part of the harness, and since then, no problems. Mind you I never got to see any of the parts, nor fixed it myself... but that seems to have solved me. Ignition... probably ripped off. Starter? I have seen enough of these that tells me that possibly Jeep put on a substandard starter that leads to all these conditions back up the line. Anyways.. still holding breath.
If your +12 wire has rubbed bare and is shorting to ground, the fuse should be blow.
Note: Electical switches are either active high (+12) or active low (GND). When you cut a wire you are making it float. Depending on circuit, it will float high, low or in between. My guess is most auto circuits will not have a pullup or pulldown resistor due to cost so it will go in between. If cutting a wire fixes it, it just means you were really lucky.
and exact same problem. The overdrive light is on all the time and it takes off
in high when in drive. . This means that line pressure from the pump
is reaching the High or direct clutch and the intermediate band, applying both
and putting the transmission in high gear before you even take off.
I did the same as you did and disconnected all the electrical wires on
the transmission, transfer case and overdrive. Light stays on and still takes
off in high gear. So I am thinking that the trouble is inside the transmission.
My guess: governor solenoid always open, or valve body problem
Hope somebody somewhere has the answer. Cheers Gerry
The mid '90s Grand Cherokee can get shifting problems related to the governor solenoid and input sensor. (Also the TPS-Throttle Position Sensor).
Here is an article about the solenoid on the 4.0L mid '90s Grand Cherokee.
