ahh ****. Wish you had posted about this before taking it to a shop. There is a recall on your "Bendix 9" ABS system.

I believe according to the fuse box map out in the owner's manual that the fuse for the overhead console, courtesy lights, and dome lights are all just one fuse. But regardless, I will go out and check. Unless you're perhaps referring to some component within the OC itself. I took it down yesterday for a brief glance over and then put it back up. I didn't see anything that looked broken but I'll have to take a more detailed look at it maybe later this week or over the weekend.

Mine didn't originally come with an overhead console and I just added one to my jeep. I searched it for awhile before I attempted to install one and on the grand Cherokee console everything I found out about it is that it wouldn't be a direct swap. If the compress and temp isn't showing and all the wires to it check out fine you should just head to the junkyard and pick a couple up. I bought my own overhead console for 10 bucks at the yard so just the comp/temp part shouldn't be too much more then that I would think.

The junk yards must be awesome where you live, here in southern california they pretty much suck. A lot of them are located down closer to the border and usually only have one type of random car like just a bunch of old volvos or something. I was originally thinking about doing what you did but coming across a good cherokee to pick over down here in the first place will be tough. As for just the computer for the temp and compass, I heard you can buy a new one from the dealer or one off of ebay but it'll cost big bucks.

They told me they checked the recalls on it. What do i tell them without making them even more annoyed with my calls to know what was going on?

my head lights are aimed fine from left to right its the up and down, and the concentration of the beams like. they arent diffused nearly enough. would that be an issue with the housing?

Ok, gonna ask a contriversal question here, besides Your opinions, and body style, what is really the difference in a say, my Yj, which has a 4.0 hi output in line 6, 5 sp. And the same in a xj of the same? Engine are the, trans are the same. Right? I heard that the xj has a better flowing exhaust, because the yj had more bends, but thats due to the size and shape of the yj they couldn't use the same bends as the xj being its size and shape. Im sure this was a question asking for punishment, but in all honesty, with same engine and tranny, not being disrespectful, just courious, what is the real difference?

One has a frame and one doesn't. One top comes off with bolts. The other with a sawzall.
In all honesty yj's are lighter and xj's breath better. All in all engines are the exact same.

Thats pretty much what I was told, but someone asked if I really wanted to know, so i figured there was more than just that, besides personal prefs. Thanks for your answer.

there used to be a couple good pic-a-parts up near Chico when i was out there a few years back if that helps

Sideways99

fuel filter? or
search nss neutral safety switch
clean, replace, be happy. I've found it can be culprit to many problems that one would assume unrelated. Worst case you cleaned something that didn't need it but learned more about your rig
hope this helps
