Soo... I bought this Jeep knowing the A/C didn't work, as well as the CEL being on. I took it to O'reilly's, hooked a scanner up to it and pulled 5 codes. Two of those codes were transmission codes, one of which locked up the torque converter and wouldn't allow the Jeep to shift into overdrive. The others were bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor, radiator fan circuit, and something to do with purge canistor something or another. After searching google a bit and reading forums, I came across a guy that pulled those exact same codes with the exact same problem. Turns out, on the 98 (maybe others) they mis-printed the fuse box diagram in the owners manual indicating that one of the fuse holes should be empty, when in fact it's actually supposed to be filled with a fuse.

Well, that fuse triggers the A/C fan, radiator fan circuit, reverse lights, o2 sensor, as well as other things. I look in my fuse box, sure enough... no fuse there. Pop one of the extra fuses in that was already in the kick panel cover, and voila... A/C now works, fan works, reverse lights work, overdrive works, and after clearing my codes and about 35 miles worth of driving, I still haven't popped the CEL again.

Hell yes for free fixes to MAJOR COST components. I'll take that any day.

Definitely am enjoying this one. In all my years I've never had a fix as simple as that to things that could take months to track down.

I love the interwebs.
