Yeah this could be an issue. You can always swap to the Renix compressor but you might run into the issue of hose fitment like stroker said. Chrysler was pretty non standard with AC parts in HO years. Like 94 could have one hose set and then 95 can have completely different hoses.

Sounds like something is wrong with wiring somewhere. I recommend checking some fuses just to rule those out and the ground upgrade before we condemn the clock.

It’s possible that Chrysler made only a YJ AC kit for the YJ and was made to work on the XJ and MJ as well. The early HO years we’re pretty uniform across the board.

Wait. The display dims? It’s supposed dim when you pull the headlamp switch so it’s not overpowering bright. Course if you know you’re way around the wiring harness you could remove the pin that dims the VFD and it would be normal level brightness all the time.

No problem. Hopefully this guy isn’t too much of a moron for you to work with.

If you get the 84-96 glass, yes it’s the same and you’ll be able to use the trim.

Yeah, XJ and MJ cab forward interchange. 97-01 XJ has a rubber gasket as the trim. 84-96 is just the glass.

I’ve only heard of a quartz clock failing once and it grew brighter in the display until it just stopped working.

I have a factory clock or a few on stand by if you want to go that route. Nickintime makes a REM clock combo unit.

I’ll have to check the service library and see. And I’ll check my service bulletin books too. Didn’t think to try any of those. Whitaker and I spoke behind the scenes about this and I told him to see if anyone out there as run into this issue. Seems like not a lot of us have. But then again, how many MJs are on here with tow mirrors?

No problem. That’s why we’re here for. Hopefully the mech gauge will reveal a healthy engine.

Fair enough. But yes there are two different parts available. The switch, which you currently have and the sensor. The switch is for the idiot light cluster and the sensor is for the gauge. It probably didn’t help that the PO didn’t get the right part in the first place which sent you on this mad tangent. Here is what the correct sensor should look like: I kinda forgot we had one on hand here at work.

56026782AC is the oil sensor part number. Still available from Chrysler. It sounds like the PO probably thought it would swap over and all would work. Course that asks a new question. Does the water temp reflect any data or does it just stay at the first bar?

What he hasn’t mentioned about this kit yet is it’s one of those dealers choice kits from the parts and service division of American Motors. In the middle of the package is that logo. It’s a really neat kit. I don’t think they’re Marchals though.

Yup!!! That’s the switch. As stated you need the sensor which can be had from Chrysler or aftermarket I’ll get a part number here in a minute for you.

Have you done any of cruisers tips? Have you cleaned the contacts on the starter relay? Yeah these gauges aren’t the best in the world but I got mine to read damn near accurately by just cleaning every contact. And I do have the same cluster as you.

The switch is switched on when there’s a certain amount of pressure and it keeps the light off. When there’s low pressure the switch turns off and the light circuit grounds out and turns the light on. The sensor will read accurately. Do you have a short little stubby thing or a big fat sensor?(or tall and skinny, depending on the sensor you bought)

Well there isnt a power steering gauge. How it works is a sensor screws into one of the lines and sends info to the ECU based on the pressure from the power steering system. As the pressure decreases, the idle increases to accommodate steering assistance to the driver. As pressure increases, the idle calms down from the lack of demand for steering assistance(I might have this backwards. I am going to go double check). I am sure you probably can get some plugs, I have never looked into it so I can't point you in the right direction with those. Ok I am right on the operation and its a switch, not a sensor. From the 2.5L operations and diagnosis manual: "The power steering switch is an input to the ECU via the air conditioning select and request input lines(My MJ did not have AC from the factory but had power steering so it still operated in the same manner just no AC which I now have haha)When the power steering pressure exceeds 275 psi ± 25 psi(19.6 bars ± 1.7bars), such as at idle during parking, the power steering switch closes to inform the ECU to raise the idle speed."

Ahh. The second one that is two flat blade connector is for the low washer fluid sensor. Unless you have an XJ or know your way around wiring the circuit together, our MJs don’t have the option.

Well it’s more of a hose that the intake uses to take in the fuel fumes from the tank that go into the canister. It doesn’t entirely affect anything but it does help get some extra fuel fumes.

So the one tube you’re holding by the firewall goes to the charcoal canister for the gas tank. The other one went to the air box lid. I can post a pic of my engine bay as it is stock as a stock Renix 2.5L can be if you need a reference.
