You wouldnt happen to have pictures of your ac system? I have a 93 and for the life of me I cant find lines with the right connection to the receiver drier. It is the last thing I need to get the ac running.

I don't at the moment but if I can with it being dark, I'll try to get a couple of pictures real quick.

Don't know how helpful these are since I don't know much about the A/C system but here are the pictures
Thank you. There have been plenty of times I wanted to say "screw it" and sell the thing for another vehicle. But, Now I've mostly gotten on top of everything that the P.O had neglected to fix.
Same here. Understand that completely; although, it's also crazy the number of times I've parked it thinking there was a repair needed, then come back a few days later and the issue was gone. As if, it jus gets tired every once in a while [like me] and just needs a rest. Love my old 92 green Cherokee. Found some $95 15" Goodyear tires on Amazon and treating her to new rubber this week.
Headlight switch decided it wanted to burn out last week and just got the replacement in and installed. I have headlights, even seem brighter than when I had the old switch in, but no tail lights or interior lights. Buzzer doesn't even make noise when i pull the switch out fully. Guessing D.O.A from factory so I got a replacement coming in at no charge to me thankfully.
Turns out the original switch was completely fine. I totally overlooked the blown fuse on the panel causing me to not have tail lights, dash lights, and markers. Oh well, the replacement i have can just be a spare for the future.
Replaced this wheel cylinder as it was leaking brake fluid badly. Also gave me a chance to flush the old dark brake fluid out. Next is the driver side cylinder and new rear brakes
Got around to finally replacing the front brake pads. Driverside caliper gave me hell and even broke a compressor tool trying to compress the piston. Finally got it compressed and swapped pads. Passengerside didn't give me as much grief if any. Problem is now the driverside caliper is smoking and smells like it's burning when I drive. Guessing the caliper is indeed siezed. (coulda guessed it when it broke a tool. so I'm looking into replacing it sometime soon. You can see the amount of wear on the left pad vs the new one on the right.

Could be the hose too.
From what I have read they swell on the inside and don't let the fluid back out.
Giving you the impression that the caliper is seized or sticking.
Quick check for the hose...After a few brake pumps,crack the bleeder with the vehicle at rest..If the hose is shot and collapsed it will shoot the trapped brake fluid from the caliper...If nothing comes out it's a seized caliper...

I did do that trying to compress the caliper and fluid came out fine, though I wont rule out the hose being bad. Ordered new steel braided lines to replace both sides just in case. Also replaced the Caliper this morning.
I replaced the driver side caliper because after getting the new brake pads on, it would start smoking after driving a little ways and it would not decompress. Also going to be replacing both brake lines with Steel Braided ones when they get here. Pretty sure with the rubber lines being almost 30 years old, they are definitely part of the problem. Even though it looks it in the picture, I didn't hook the line to the new one, I just have it hanging with a pair of vice grips pinching the line so fluid doesn't drip out.

So I bought some Steel Braided Brake Lines to replace the old rubber lines for my front brakes. Only problem is to install those, I would have to also replace the hard lines coming from the master cylinder because the flare nut would not budge at all. even with vice grips and heat. So they're torn up pretty bad. At least the driverside one is. So I've decided to just leave the rubber lines on and eventually replace the entire thing when I feel up to it. Fun Times. On the bright side, the brakes don't smoke anymore

Remember how I said the driverside wheel cylinder was next? Well it decided to also start leaking on me so I tackled it and the only casualty was a chunk of skin out of my finger. Other than that it was replaced without a problem. Want to get some new shoes and hardware next and that would wrap up the rear brakes for a while.
