What do you use to remove heavey carbon build up from the copper botom Revere Ware?
Elbow grease, an SOS pad, and a bit of water.
Why wont the running lights and interior lights go off?
you probably have a bad door light switch in your car, you need to check ever switch in the system its 5 ( 4 doors an a tail gate) I bet you one is defective.
I had this same issue on a 2000 model. After checking voltages at the rear lamps with no differences between the two sides, I then swapped the two brake light asseblies. The right side was not working when the lights were on and the brakes were applied, it still did not work when plugged into the left side, but my left side still worked when plugged into the right side. So, that left only the brake light assembly to be faulty. I ordered one off of Ebay, and replaced it with no other problems, except the left went out a few months later!! Try swapping the two asseblies and see if you get the same results.
How do you remove evaporator assembly?
Most of the time it's behind the heater core you'll need to remove the dash in most cases to get to it best advice is if your going to do it your self get a Manual.
If the interior lights go off after 60 or 90 seconds, then everything is working fine! This is a feature that was built into these Jeeps to let you exit with some light. The interval can be adjusted to 15/30/60/90 seconds thru the onboard computer - check your owner's manual. If the lights never go off, then check all of the door jam switches first (try WD40 on them all to make sure they are not stuck), also check if there is a switch at the back hatch. If you still have the problem, then it is either a short in one of those switches or a BCM, either can be somewhat costly to fix. DO NOT REPLACE THE BCM!!! TRY THIS FIRST! I found the way to fix this. It's a bad switch in either/both the driver or passenger side front door. The switch is located at the bottom of the door opposite the hinge. The switch is used to tell the car that the door was unlocked and to turn on the lights. If you pull back the door cover on the bottom (You do not need to remove the cover completely) and pull back that plastic you will see the plug for the switch down in that bottom corner. Just unplug one switch and try closing and locking the doors. If the lights still don't go off try unplugging the other switch and doing the same. I'm not sure how much these switches are, but If you decide not to replace it you will see the following effects (There may be more, but these are the only ones I'm aware of): 1.) The lights will not turn on when that door is unlocked. 2.) If the alarm is set and you unlock only that door and enter the vehicle, the alarm will sound. I am having the same problem. I took it to the dealer. I had a bad door jam switch is what they first said. Replaced that, and now the interior lights still stay on. The dealership wants to replace the BCM which is about $500. I am not sold on that solution yet. They couldn't really tell me what was wrong on the BCM, just that it needed to be replaced. The lights go off if you turn the ignition to ON or turn the car on. They only seem to stay on when you turn the car off. All the other door jam switches are present and working. They said something about a short on the board, but that doesn't make sense to me, because the lights go out at some point. I think it is a connecter/wiring problem, but what do I know? I am going to get a wiring diagram of the vehicle and try to troubleshoot it this weekend...or get a BCM out of a salvage yard. My solution for now is to remove the two fuses for the BCM while I am not running the car...kind of annoying though. Maybe I'll just put a switch on my dash for the interior lights... If you lock the doors by using the lock switch on the drivers side, then close the door, the lights go out instantly, without delay...... update 8th July 08 After checking the door switches I brought my Jeep orvis to the autoelectrician and fixed by adjusting the back door catch. i was surprized as the backdoor light on the dash used to go on and off.. it cost me fifity euro but it fixed so i thought i share !
Answer:
Another possibility is: the 1996 ZJ has a problem with water corrosion occurring in the liftgate ajar switch and connector. The switch is located in the liftgate latch. remove the liftgate trim panel and disconnect the ajar switch. inspect for corrosion. Corrosion will appear as a white, blue or green crusty substance. If this is the case, the switch and connector will need to be replaced. parts are available at any Jeep dealer.

What fuse control dash lights 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
If the 97 is set up like the 96, then the same 15 amp light blue fuse that controls the tail lights will also control the dash lights. On the 96 this fuse is # 17 in the fuse panel behind the battery.
Why do your Jeeps lights flash when it is not running?
Because you probably pushed either the lock or unlock button on your key fob
There is a part in the quadra trac transfer case called a viscous(spelling may be off) coupler that when working properly allows the front and rear wheels to spin at different speeds such as in hard turns. When this goes bad the wheels cant disengage so a tire has to kind of jerk and "hop" to keep up or slow down for the wheel moving at a different speed. To replace this coupler the transfer case has to be taken almost all the way apart (best done out of the vehicle) and a new coupler installed. The other option is to find a whole new transfer case. Either way, even doing it yourself isn't real cheap and i think a shop would charge quite a bit. There are other transfer cases that don't have this but unless you really really know what your doing i would not recommend a different model case.
If it is actually "chattering" like you say it may not be the transfer case. I'd check wheel bearings, ball joints, and the CV or U joints (whichever yours has) on the axle shafts (not the drive shaft). To check the bearings and ball joints jack up the on the axle and try and move the tire back and forth in the opposite directions that the wheel turns...so push in on the top and pull out on the bottom and back and forth. There should be absolutely no play here...even a little "chunk - chunk" back and form means something is worn out and needs to be replaced. In CV and U joints you should be able to see the play in them if you try and rotate the tire back and forth (again with the wheel off the ground). There is a little movement from the differential in the axle but there shouldn't be any in the axle joints. Hope this helps.
How do you disable the factory security system on a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Put the key in the driver side door and turn it. If yours is anything like mine, youll have to turn it again and again and again. If you are talking about disabling the alarm completely, the people at the Jeep dealership told me that it would be ridiculously expensive because theyd have to change the computer settings, blah blah. Was easier for me to disconnect the horn. :-)

How do you replace a headlight bulb on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited?
I replaced a low beam. This is part 9006XS not 9006. You must get the 9006XS as the other has a 90 degree turn on the socket and will not fit. I was told you could actually change the bulb and leave the socket, but I could not get the bulb loose. Part 9006XS is a bulb and socket together. Mine cost about $12 dollars. As far as I'm concerned it is worth it.
For this task you will need: Keys to the car, 7mm wrench, flat pry bar, flat head screwdriver, part 9006XS (not 9006).
You must pull the plastic headlight lens away (forward) from the car to get to the bulbs from the back of the assembly. Open the hood. Using a 7mm wrench or 7mm screwdriver take out the one bolt in the top center rear of the headlight assembly. The bolt goes vertically down through the back of the headlight assembly. Once out it will be about 6 inches long more or less. You will notice the headlight still feels firmly attached to the car. There are three ball sockets in the headlights that fit into rubber grommets holding the headlight onto the car. Facing the light you can hold it by the opposite corners and wiggle it out. When I tried this it wiggled but would not come out. So I used a flat pry bar on the back of the headlight and gently pushed it forward a bit (in the direction the headlights shine). Do not push too hard or you will break the plastic housing on the light and it is very expensive. I got only one of the sockets loose and was able to pull the assembly out after that. Be careful not to pinch your fingers between the headlight and the grill or the headlight and the body on the other side when pulling it out. The headlight assembly only comes out about 10 inches or so, but you can rotate it so that the back of the bulbs are removable. The bulb and socket assembly was what I changed (part 9006XS remember). If you twist the socket you will notice little tabs that must be aligned with the headlight assembly frame to pull it out. Rotate it till it is in alignment and pull it. You now have the wire, socket and bulb in your hand. Using a flat screwdriver gently pry the tabs up where the plug from the wire clasps over the socket. Don't pry too hard or you will break the tabs. Once out simply plug in your replacement part 9006XS, reinsert the socket into the headlight assembly and push the head light assembly back into place. Test your headlights at this point. When you push the headlight assembly back into place you must align the 3 ball sockets with the rubber grommets and push straight back into the vehicle. Also make sure the tab for the screw is in the right position or the headlight will not go back into place. Replace your 6 inch screw with the 7mm wrench.

How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport?
You buy a headlight at any basic auto parts shop they will have your make and model in a database with the size you need. Its not a small bulb within the plastic the large light about the size of your hand is the bulb.
Open your top.
Unplug the bulb, its like unplugging a wall socket.
Unscrew the three screws around on the silver rim. The 2001 Wrangler Sahara uses a small "Torq" screw driver.
Srew out the setting behing the silver rim.
Push out the bulb into your engine reach around take it out.
Place new bulb in and hook it up so it stays attached when screwing everything back into place.
Screw everything into place.
