Wheel Speed Sensors for ABS are located immediately beside the brakes on all 4 wheels. On the rear axle I believe you have to pop off the drum to access them.
If you mean the Vehicle Speed Sensor for the speedometer, that's on the transfer case output.

I dont have ABS so I guess the error im getting is from my transfer case. Second question.. what kinda symptons would I have if I have a vaccum leak? My idle is crap and I dont have much power. If it is a leak.. is there an easier way to locate it other than turning the car on and touching everything? It sounds like its coming somewhere by my carb..... :/

lol you don't have a carb. "Bad idle and no power" could be anything from a roasted head to old spark plugs or a clogged air filter. I take it you hear the whistle of a vacuum leak? The FSM method is to dribble water near a suspected vacuum leak while the engine is running and listen for the idle to take a hit. Another popular way is to spray small amounts of carb cleaner on suspect areas, when the engine sucks it up you'll hear the difference. Of course this method is slightly flammable. If you're a smoker, turn the engine off, remove the intake hose from the air cleaner, and just blow smoke into the hose. Fix where smoke comes out.

98 xj.. I do regular oil changes.. yes ive use seafoam.. oil from dip looks good... oil on oil cap is muddy. Stopped driving it after i realized im losing my radiator fluid. Thought it was plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timing chain kit...... oil on timing cover was slightly muddy as well. Might have to put her down. Unless someone has a spare 4.o and can swap motors with me.
Probably the stupidest question I will ever ask. I've been doing a bunch of maintenance on the 98 Cherokee I just bought, however, I cannot figure out how to fold or remove the rear seats! It seems like it is stuck in the middle, I thought these things just slid up and out of the way or folded forward?
