Listen at the hatch lid when open and you work the remote lock/unlock on your key ring. You should hear the noise of the locking motor working. It is located near the bottom of the hatch towards the drivers (left) side of the hatch. If you hear a noisy motor, you know the wiring etc is OK. Then your problem is probably a worn out motor or linkage. If all the passenger doors lock and unlock OK and if the hatch lock notor makes no noise when activated it may be a bad wiring connection or a bad motor. You'll have to take off the inner plastic cover from the hatch and check out the wiring/motor etc. If all the door locks and the hatch do not work then check the fuse for that circuit Hope this helps Dave S

Can you replace a 96 Jeep Cherokee radiator with a 96 jeep leredo radiator?

the Laredo is a Cherokee. it's just a different trim package. there's also the briarwood, sport, wagon, etc. it's all the same. yes, the radiators are the same. so is EVERYTHING ELSE in or on the vehicle. so, you could buy the electric seats from a Laredo and put them in a sport. or you could by the rear hatch with the wiper and put it on a briarwood. as long as you have the wiring and switches you can change the trim on any Cherokee. as far as the drivetrains they are exactly the same... As long as you are not trying to put a Grand Cherokee radiator in a regular Cherokee.


How do you change the turn signal switch on a 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo?

If its the rear, open the rear hatch. Look on the side of the taillight, you will see 2 screws. remove them and pull the tail light out, and you will see 3 grey sockets. Untwist it about 1/4 turn and pull it out. The bulb can then be pulled out, and it should be a 3157 bulb.

Where can I buy lifts for back hatch for 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo.?

You should be able to get them through autopart stores. You can also go to a auto recycler and have them get them from one of their vehicles. You can always get them from the dealer if this fails. Also try looking on line at a "crash parts" dealer. This is a place that sells parts to repair wrecked vehicles.

You do not have the remote for your 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo how can you get the rear door open there is no key hole on it?

You can: -Open the drivers door and press "unlock" -Have a keyless entry system installed at a Best Buy or similar car audio shop. All of the locks (including the rear hatch) are on a central locking system and they will all lock or unlock together.
