Curiosity got the best of me last night and I took my park brake ratchet out. May have found something.... http://comancheclub.com/topic/47303-new-parking-brake-fix/

I may have found an easy way to fix the park brake ratchet issue. Here are some teaser photos. Got the work done to the ratchet, but too late to reinstall last night. Image Not FoundImage Not FoundImage Not Found

Woohoo!! Get a Bosch pump.

Are you thinking that a heavier duty small retaining spring could be a total cure?

Possibly, but not probable. Revisit your TB adjustment. I plan to take TB off completely again and adjust that stop screw from scratch. I also had the thought that maybe the TB gasket was not seated properly. Is there a possibility of the butterfly being too closed? I mean as long as it is not digging into the metal, I adjusted it so it is resting on that screw, but it should be closed down as much as possible, right? Tip 14.

Black is Ground Violet is Gauge.

Possibly, but not probable. Revisit your TB adjustment.

Good point....

Test for power at the pump first. Should have around 12 volts DC.

Great idea. Sometimes just doing Tip 3 can help also. Ever see those relays when they've been removed after 25 years? The connectors are nasty.

No fuses under the dash. Do the ground refresh behind the driver's taillamp. Image Not Found

I'm a laugh-aholic.

Totally lame, like googling your stuff, dude, before ever posting. Ya know?

You're doing great wesleywipes. Keep us in the loop.

Didn't Google it. My one boss is from Denmark. He neglected to mention special characters to me as I knew not about them. I even was man enough to admit that. Deal with it. Like really dude, that Google is 123% accurate. Or has 75% tread left or more. Honestly? I Google everything before I post it because Google is the best, Dude. Like I'd take a flying hike before I posted something here that I didn't google, you know what I mean? It's totally righteous to Google your stuff first, you know?

1- Where is your radiator cap? Where is your fan shroud for the mechanical fan? 2- Eliminate that heater control valve and plug it's vacuum source. 3- That's the troublesome CAD for the front axle, at least part of it. Read my canned response below and then click on the link below that. The big issue is that the CAD system only fails when you need it the most. Kinda like when you don't realize your wiper blades need replacing until it rains.... I know somebody’s system works and he advocates keeping it stock, but my exposure to the failures is probably hundreds of times greater than his, as a result of being Service Manager at a Jeep dealership from 1980 through 1992, and being a current XJ and MJ owner. CAD stinks. Every Jeep I work on with it, I eliminate it. Guess what I find in the process? 25 year old busted vacuum lines, bloated vacuum line connectors, bad vacuum reservoirs and piping, bad transfer case vacuum switches. In other words, had the person gotten into a sticky situation and needed 4WD, they would have been screwed!!! That's the tip of the iceberg. The factory went through 3 revisions of the shift fork also. The fork issue is non-existent if you just slide it over and leave it. See the link below for complete instructions. Takes less than 1/2 hour. http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/fre...ss-91-a-38629/ ,

You did the lighting connector in front of the air cleaner? Image Not FoundImage Not Found

87 to 90 with 88 to 90 being preferred.

Yes, and yes.

You have no power to your TCU.

You're talking Tip 5 and you got 51 ohms of resistance? Now I remember you!!

$65 for a pair is still a deal.

Yes. And click on the link in my signature and view Tip 3. There's a lighting connector in a photo there that is notorious for being corroded.
