Hey everyone, does anyone know what are the inputs and output on this dpst switch? Installing some door jam sensor bypass switches instead of just pulling the plungers.

Default What is this relay? 2001 Cherokee Sport

Have been troubleshooting why my AC/heater blower stopped working. Removed and cleaned the controls from the console, checked all fuses, replaced the "resistor" pack behind glove box.
Noticed this relay, but did not know what it was... perhaps part of the blower circuit? Thanks!

The photo is at the "back" of the glove compartment area.

Next step is to locate the blower's wiring harness, then try putting voltage to it to see if it is working. Now I think that it is probably the cause and replacing that is a real chore (evac the AC, remove the canister, etc. then the blower motor... engine compartment side... dumb design)

** THANKS everyone *** The relay is the direct dc for "high" on the blower.

After all troubleshooting found the blower motor is gone. Requires AC evacuation and a lot of under hood work (:

I mean an entire axel from a different vehicle. Not just xjs. Any vehicle will work as long I can use its axles. I'm just looking for that ratio. But I have the stock axels. 30 in front 35 in back.

I 242 has full time 4wd and the 231 has part time 4wd. There is probably more than that to know though

I bought an overhead console from a guy and after bringing it home I found out that he butchered the wire harness. Its been impossible to find one in a junk yard. (which I why I bought it from him in the first place.) Any suggestions on where to get a new harness for reasonably cheap?

I have an intermittent problem with my blower. I found the problem was as simple as the connector into the blower on the engine compartment side. I squeezed the connector and it worked for awhile. Will need to adjust the plug receptacles again.

You may want to spray down the underside with some degreaser and get it all clean. My guess would be that it's actually engine oil from your rear main seal. The only way to get trans. fluid forward of the exhaust like that would lead me to a leak in a transmission cooling line. Do you have a trans. cooler?

Post Want to Lift my 2000 Cherokee Sport

Hello fellow Cherokee owners and lovers, i've owned my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport for two years now and believe its time to add a 4.5" RC lift with full leaf springs pack. The only issue is, I don't know what problems i should expect to encounter and what additional parts i should add that are not included in the Lift Kit. It is my daily driver that sees trails whenever i'm driving along and see something worth looking at. These questions have probably been asked a lot so forgive me, but I need to know whats the best route to take. I want to run 32X11.50 tires and like the look and flex of a 4.5" Lift. So if anyone could share their knowledge about if i need a steering stabilizer, control arm drop kit, slip yoke eliminator, extended driveshaft, wheel spacers, etc. I would really appreciate the help, because i only want to do this once, and do it right.
