Can you bypass the ac compressor on 1988 jeep Cherokee 4.0?

I think so, but you will need a smaller belt. To find out thelength to your new serpentine belt you will have to remove the old one. I recommend taking a pic of how the original belt makes its way over and under all the pulley after the belt is removed use some string and fallow the same path of the original belt but leave out the air renditioning compressor when the loop is completed the string should be the length of your new belt. remember the tightener will be in the loosest position so deduct an inch to three inches to your string length to make sure your new belt fits tight.

How do you remove the dash on a 2000 jeep Cherokee?

If you're trying to remove the dash in order to install a new car stereo head unit, then follow these directions: The center dash (from the top it goes air vents, radio and the climate control) is all one piece. Pull from the bottom left and right side behind the climate control knobs. You'll hear a pop. That's good. When you pull the dash your releasing the clips on both sides. The dash should be off now. Then move the gear shifter back so you can take off the dash. It's very simple. Hope this helps. Pete

Is the Jeep Cherokee named after the Native American tribe?

How do you fix valves in Jeep Cherokee?

What's wrong with them? Are they stuck? (You can try the old trick where you slowly pour transmission fluid into the carburetor while the engine is running, taking care not to stall it. Don't do it near your neighbors, because it creates a hell of a lot of smoke). Are the valves burned? If so, then you'll have to pull the head.

Where is the fuse for the back lights on a 1991 jeep Cherokee?

I do not believe there is a fuse. The back-up lamps are controlled by the neutral safety switch located on the passenger side of the trans.

It is on the same circuit as the brake lights, but if they are not working, and the bulbs are good your switch needs cleaning or adjustment.

Attempt this first since the switch costs nearly $300 bucks.

On the passengers side of the trans just behind the bell housing there is a fan shaped switch, loosen the 12mm bolt ( smaller of the two, and rotate the switch while a friend checks the lights. this problem is usually accompanied by an occasional inability to start the vehicle, but can be cured by jiggling the shifter.

While adjusting the switch make sure that the vehicle will start in park as well, remember to block the wheels while testing the back up lights, engine off, key in run but not start, shifter in reverse, move switch until lights come on.

Once you find this spot, hold it in place and have your helper check to make sure it will start. This may take several tries to get both working correctly.

If you have no luck the switch may be dirty, this happens a lot. Hold the post to the bottom large bolt still while you loosen the nut, then remove it, then remove the 12mm adjusting bolt on top, remove the wire connector and pull the switch away, remove the bolts on the switch and separate the halves, use electrical contact cleaner and maybe some q-tips to clean all the copper connections completely apply di-electric grease and reassemble, refit to the trans and readjust so all functions work, this switch controls back up and start safety.

Caution! always hold that bottom bolt while tightening the large nut, this is connected to the gear adjuster and you could damage the internals if it isn't secured while you do it.

How do you replace the oil filter housing on a 1994 jeep Cherokee?

There are three O rings that leak inside the oil filter housing. The is a large T60 star bolt connecting it & yes it is tricky to get off because you will run out of room for a ratchet when the bolt come out a little ways so a specialty T60 hand wrench might be the ticket.

Is it OK to use cheap gas in a BMW 528i?

Yes. If you have a high compression engine you may need higher octane fuel, but generally most of todays vehicles don't need a higher octane fuel because everybody is trying to reduce Nitrous emissions and have lower compression. Always buy fuel at a place that sells a lot, and use the fuel that sells the most... typically regular. Using "fresh" fuel helps keep the injectors clean.

How do you change the brake pads on a Jeep Cherokee?

changing front brake padstake off the tire. then find your brake calipers. look behind the calipers which hold the pad to the rotors you will see either a top and bottom bolt or a big Allen wrench head. take off the top and the bottom bolts this will cause the brake caliper to come to come off. Gently take off the caliper-remove the pads then with a large c-clamp place it in the metal cup located on one side of the caliper the other side of the c-clamp on the back turn the cup in until flush.NOTE!( open hood and take the top of the brake fluid holder) then continue with turning the cup in until it is fluch with the side of the caliper then replace brake pad. same way on other side. (MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ROTORS OFF AND HAVE THEM TURNED OR REPLACED BEFORE PUTTIN GNEW PADS. then refill brake fluid holding device in hodd area and bleed brakes using another person to pump the brakes. To bleed brakes ,within hearing distance and vehicle started have hte person pump the brakes three times and hold them,then release the brake fluid with the bleeder valve then tighten it again. make sure your buddy does not let up pressure on pedal until you have the bleeder valve tightened. then do this until you do not see any bubbles most time it takes threes times. keep a check on reservior or brake fluid holding device. fill as necessary. any questions e-mail me at eaglebear77@yahoo.com

if you don't take the brake line off the caliper, the system remains sealed (no chance of air getting in) so bleeding the brakes is a redundant step. Just remove caliper, remove reservoir cap under hood, push piston back in, clean up calipers, install new pads (+ rotors if you have em) re-install caliper and tighten accordingly, put wheel back on, and take it for a drive. A few light stops, and then a few heavier stops, which will properly seat the new pads. yer done.

Can you put a turbo on a Jeep Cherokee?

Yes, you can, You'll have to do some fabrication to your exhaust though. Unless you can find a manifold for it, which will depend on your model and how much you'd like to spend. Be careful using it in mud or water, it can crack the turbo.
