No such animal. Chrysler stopped making the Cherokee in 2001. '''''Chrysler marketed the Jeep Liberty as a Jeep Cherokee in Europe until very recently. There was a were 3 engine options including a turbo diesel so oil filter type and location cannot be given without detailed information.'''''

either your parking brake is not released all the way or the switch needs adjusting

twist and pull - its a press fit piece, and will come off with the pushbutton assembly intact ( nothing falls out) if it hasn't been off in a while, it can be 'quite' tight.

If your Jeep needs a cooling system flush, this is a great time to do that. It's helpful to install a flush-and-fill kit and to get a container of radiator flush concentrate. Let the concentrate circulate in the engine for the length of time specified and then let the engine cool. 10-minute concentrate seems to work pretty well.

Rather than drain the old coolant through the draincock as may be specified on the concentrate instructions, you can get good access to the lower radiator hose by removing the air filter housing which is located on same side as the power steering pump. Unclip the top of the air filter cover and move to the side. Remove the air filter and then remove the 3 bolts holding the housing to the engine compartment.

With a catch pan in place (flat, 2- or 3-gallon), loosen the clamp on the radiator side of the lower radiator hose. Let the old coolant drain into catch pan. Transfer the old coolant into sealable containers until you can take them to a recycling or disposal facility.

Using the flush-and-fill kit, flush the engine cooling block (cool engine only!) until water is clear coming out the lower radiator hose.

Same can be done with the radiator. Pour clean water into the top of radiator and let it run out the port for the lower radiator hose. You'll get a more complete flush of the entire radiator if you temporarily plug the port with a hand or rag and then release once the radiator is filled.

If your serpentine belt has cracks on the grooved side or if your radiator or heater hoses are getting old, this is a good time to replace them. Some Jeeps also seem to "eat up" thermostats pretty quickly. Get a replacement 195 degree thermostat and gasket if you want.

Now for the water pump replacement.

Loosen and remove the serpentine belt. Remove the power steering pump. There are 3 bolts that attach to a bracket that is attached to the engine block. Plus 2 bolts that secure the PS pump to the water pump. The PS pump will still be attached to the car by the hoses but it can now be moved out of the way. USe a bungy cord or something to keep it away from the work area. Now there are 4 bolts that attach the water pump to the engine. 3 of the bolts will be visible. The fourth is below the water pump. You also need to remove the pulley from the water pump. It's attached with 4 bolts. Keep this handy as you need to install the pulley on the new water pump.

Loosening the bolts on the water pump pulley can be tricky since the pulley will spin and there is nothing really to grab onto. One thing that helps is to use a long narrow bar put diagonally between 2 of the pulley bolts while you loosen another. A long (and strong) Allen wrench works well.

Lever the Allen wrench or similar against 2 bolts and loosen the bolt closest to you. Take care that the bar does not slip (and your knuckles get banged up)! Leave this bolt in its hole after just loosening it. Rotate the pulley to next bolt and repeat. Once all are loosened you can hold the pulley by hand and remove the 4 loosened bolts

There are 2 hoses attached to the water pump. The heater hose and the bottom radiator hose. Remove the hoses and you should now be able to remove the water pump. You may also have to remove the electric fan and fan shroud prior to removing the water pump. There was no electric fan on the 1996 Cherokee that this novice just replaced so it was not an issue. After removing the old water pump unscrew the pipe for the heater hose or buy a new one. Use some teflon tape and attach this pipe to the new water pump.

Be sure to install the heater hose pipe to the new water pump so it will be lined up with the heater hose when the pump is installed. You won't be able to rotate the heater hose pipe after the pump is intalled.

You also need some RTV silicon sealer for the water pump gasket. Put a thin layer on both sides of the gasket. Clean the area where the water pump attached to the engine and then carefully put the new water pump in place. Now secure the water pump to the engine and then put the pulley back on. Reverse the above steps and replace the PS pump. BTW to loosen the serpentine belt first loosen the bolt that holds the pulley located directly below the PS pump. Then back off on the tension bolt which is located on the bracket that secures the PS pump at the top of the bracket off to the left side of the PS pump. Fill with coolant and you should be good to go. This procedure was just performed on this novice mechanics own 1996 Cherokee yesterday (now successfully done on 2 Jeeps). So far so good. Good Luck. BTW you will need 13mm, 14mm and 15mm sockets and wrenches to remove and replace all the bolts mentioned.

It should be for the rear wiper or rear defroster.

I have a 1992 (no power switch), but on the left side of my column are the fog light and rear defrost switches, and on the right is the rear wiper switch.

To warn you when there is a problem with the Air Bag System. (SRS)

Generally speaking there is no benefit to "upgrading" the LCA's on a Cherokee that is used for on street driving with reg tires and no lift. If you're using wider tires on your Jeep, you can prevent the tire from rubbing on the LCA at full lock depending on the tire size & the style of the LCA you use. If your vehicle is used for going offroad, a good quality boxed aftermarket LCA will be stronger than stock & resist trail damage. Grand Cherokee LCA's make a good budget upgrade for a Cherokee.

I have 1989 jeep Cherokee automatic 4.o and it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear so i looked all over and found out it was the t.p.s it cast me at pepboys about 90-bucks But better the a new tranny. Try it it works "Throttle position sensor" thanks Jeff e s

The little yellow engine symbol is the check engine light.

See related questions below for more information.

The XJ body Cherokee is the more square bodied Jeep. The ZJ or WJ is the more rounder Grand Cherokee.

How do you change a power steering pump in a 98 jeep cherokee?

Yes

you might want to try a new starter relay or a auto shutdown relay located under the hood in the electrical power distribution center

Oil pressure should go up with engine load. It could go higher when cold when using a thicker oil. Depending on your climate you may want to stick with the 5w-30 as it is easier to move around the engine on start up. Here in WI I try to avoid 10w-30 as much as possible. If the readings are erradic and it happened right after an oil change I would check the wiring going to the oil pressure sensor. On the six cylinder the wiring harness for the sensor loops over or next to the oil filter. Easy way to check if there is a problem is have someone watch the guage while idling and jiggle the harness, if it the needle changes position or drops to zero than there is a problem.

A new 2013 Jeep Cherokee can range anywhere from $27,731-$60,351. The target price being $27,824. The Jeep Cherokee has also been ranked #5 in affordable midsize SUVs.

Bad ground.

I believe the dimmer switch is in the steering wheel column.

usually they're directly under the headlights just behind the front bumper .. there should be one on either side

There's a dipstick to measure it just like oil. Add through the tube with the engine running so you don't get a false full reading.

Anywhere between 1000-2000, just replace the engine..too much damage has already been done

if you look under the vehicle passengers side door you will see the engine and transmission the starter is bolted the transmission

mudislife2: there are three bolts holdong it on. one for the wire and two to hold the starter on. it is incredably easy to change if its a 6cyl.
