Jeep Commander

The starter relay on a 2008 Jeep Commander is located in the power distribution center, which is typically found under the hood near the battery. You can access it by removing the cover of the power distribution center. The relay is usually labeled, making it easier to identify among the other fuses and relays. Always consult the owner's manual for specific diagrams and locations.

To replace the passenger side mirror on a 2006 Jeep Commander, start by carefully removing the interior door panel to access the mirror's wiring and mounting screws. Disconnect the electrical connectors and unbolt the old mirror from the door. Install the new mirror by securing it with the bolts and reconnecting the electrical wiring. Finally, reattach the door panel and ensure everything is properly aligned and functioning.

To remove the headrest from a 2006 Jeep Commander, first, adjust the headrest to its highest position. Locate the release button or tabs at the base of the headrest posts; you may need to press them in to disengage the headrest. While holding the buttons, pull the headrest straight up to remove it completely. If the headrest doesn't come off easily, double-check that the release mechanism is fully engaged.

To change the oil in a Jeep Commander, first ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is on a level surface. Lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands, then remove the oil drain plug and let the old oil drain into a pan. Replace the drain plug, remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench, and install a new filter. Finally, pour new oil into the engine using the specified oil type and quantity, and check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it’s within the recommended range.

To reset the "Perform Service" light on a 2007 Jeep Commander, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Press the gas pedal three times within ten seconds, then turn the ignition off. This should reset the service light. If the light remains on, you may need to check for any existing issues or consult the owner's manual for further instructions.

The code P1404 on a 2008 Jeep Commander indicates an issue with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, specifically related to the EGR temperature sensor. This code suggests that there may be a malfunction or improper readings from the sensor, which can affect engine performance and emissions. It’s advisable to check the EGR valve and sensor connections, and to perform diagnostics to determine the underlying cause of the code.

The Jeep Commander’s steering wheel can be adjusted for tilt, but it does not have a telescoping feature that allows for a greater upward range. If you're looking for more height or a different driving position, consider using seat adjustments or aftermarket steering wheel spacers, but ensure compatibility and safety. For precise adjustments, it's best to consult the vehicle's manual or a dealership.

The Jeep Commander's navigation system typically does not support playing DVDs directly through the navigation screen. However, some models may have a separate DVD player integrated into the vehicle's entertainment system, which can be used if equipped. If your Jeep Commander has this feature, the DVD will play on the rear screens if available. Always consult your owner's manual for specific capabilities related to your vehicle's configuration.

The air conditioning drain line for a 2006 Jeep Commander is typically located on the passenger side of the vehicle, beneath the dashboard. It extends through the firewall and allows condensation from the A/C system to drain outside. You can usually find it near the bottom of the evaporator case, where it exits the vehicle. It's important to ensure this line is clear to prevent water buildup inside the cabin.

To change a headlight on a 2007 Jeep Commander, first, open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly. Disconnect the power connector by pressing the tab and pulling it straight out. Remove the headlight bulb by twisting it counterclockwise and then replace it with a new bulb, ensuring it’s secure. Finally, reconnect the power connector and test the headlight before closing the hood.

In a Jeep Commander, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is typically located on the engine's valve cover. It can be found near the rear or side of the engine, depending on the specific engine type. Accessing it may require removing some components for better visibility and reach. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise location and replacement instructions.

To replace the rear suspension of a Jeep Commander, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels, then disconnect the shock absorbers and sway bar links, followed by unbolting the lower and upper control arms and the axle. Replace the old components with new ones, reassembling in the reverse order, and ensure all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer specifications before reinstalling the wheels and lowering the vehicle. Finally, perform a wheel alignment to ensure proper handling and tire wear.

sounds as if you need lifters,you could change the oil and put a quart of marvel mystery it will help clean the carbon,if it seems better drive it for about 500 miles and do it again,then change oil every 3,000 miles,adding the marvel mystery each time,sounds like the oil hasn,t been changed properly

Could mean anything. More commonly it has to do with a symptom where the vehicle will:

1. Ignition/Starter Click, not start Condition.

2. Lose main power for 10 seconds, and then come back. However car will not start. Trans Over Temp light will flash in main console.

For me anyways, the same symptoms. DEALER REPLACED: First the Ignition Switch, (Same as 1 and 2 above 2 weeks later). Then the Starter. When it wouldn't start again..(this time about 3 weeks)

I took it back and told em (dealer) that if they said it was the alternator (alt doesn't matter for ignition problems), was going to sue them for the labor and parts allready done. Must have worked. Bottom line, they said when they changed the starter it was all corroded, heavily. (orig bought in MI). So then they checked the wiring harness into the starter and found that it was melted a bit. Therefore if the starter was that corroded, it was possible it sent more amps down the line than normal. They fixed that part of the harness, and since then, no problems. Mind you I never got to see any of the parts, nor fixed it myself... but that seems to have solved me. Ignition... probably ripped off. Starter? I have seen enough of these that tells me that possibly Jeep put on a substandard starter that leads to all these conditions back up the line. Anyways.. still holding breath.

This may vary by year of jeep commander but as of 2011, all jeep commanders have hook-end front wiper arm attachments and a slide pinch rear wiper arm attachment. See sources and related links below for wiper blade installation videos and also for information on the hard-to-find rear wiper blade.

The dipstick is a special tool only available to the dealer.

The right front seat has weight sensors built in. If the computer senses 5 to 20 lbs it will turn on that light to tell you that the airbag is shut off. The reason it does this is if there is a child's car seat up there.

The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be enabled

or disabled by your authorized dealer or by

following these steps:

NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first

60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON

or START position. DaimlerChrysler does not recommend

deactivating the Enhanced Warning System

(BeltAlert).

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and

buckle the driver's seat belt.

2. Start the engine and wait for the Seat Belt Warning

Light to turn off.

3. Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle

and then re-buckle the driver's seat belt at least three

times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt

buckled.

NOTE: Watch for the Seat BeltWarning Light to turn on

while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt.

It may be necessary to retract the seat belt.

Nope. They discontinued the Commander. The only 2011 models are the Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited, Grand Cherokee, and Compass.
