87MJTIM

:popcorn:

Check out http://comancheclub.com/topic/33662-refurbishing-the-fuel-sender/ You should PM originator of the thread.

What yr is your MJ? There are factory service manual for the electrics available on CC. I know of the 88 manual on here.

Get a continuity tester for the switch. Test the power in and then test all the plugs out. The switch on my CJ went out. That is how I tested it.

Been there...Done that... Don't want the t-shirt Glad to hear...(I am not the only one ;) )

Pull the radio out and make sure you didn't disconnect the wires from the fan controls. Ask me how I know....

Mine has 281k with no problems as a DD. I have an AX15 plus 231 in my garage. Just waiting for an external.

You can purchase the FSM. Look on ebay. I purchase the FSM for my 87 at www.faxonautoliterature.com These are print version, though. Bishko Automobile Literature on ebay has a 90 FSM on CD for $26.

I took the two hoses to Tipco to have them remade. The guy at the shop looked at them and said that only one needed to be remade. He said the other looked ok. This is the one remade Image Not Found The old one was so rusted the compression fitting was frozen stuck and the metal tube was cracked where the rubber tube connected. I asked how much he thought it would cost and he estimated $100 :???: The final total was only $65, but still... I felt like I went to the doctor - Dr. Ben Dover!

Good to hear.

I will try calling. Their website does not give hrs, especially on Sat, I may have to wait. I found a local shop that repair a/c and hydraulic hoses. I may need to get the old ones repaired. They are in DelMarVa. www.tipcotech.com

Thx. Mine is the factory a/c. Further snooping has led me to www.allmoparparts.com. This store says they have them. However, it does not give part numbers or a picture of the parts. I will look at Jeepair next.

I am looking for a/c hoses. I have the part numbers from the parts catalog, but I cannot find the exact part on-line. I have an '87, 4.0 w/ factory a/c. The three hoses are 1) evap to compressor #56002724, 2) compress to condenser #56001662 and 3) condenser to receiver #56002189. All these part no. are listed for the 87. The catalog lists different part no for the 88/89 to 90. (The evap to compressor lists the 87 and 88 as the same number.) I have looked online at Rockauto, Morris Jeep and Quadratec. Quad Morris is the only one that list all three hoses, but only for the 88/89 to 90 years. (Even their descriptions list them for later model XJs.) Will the differnt hoses fit the 87 system? Are there other sourses for these parts you may know? These are the last pieces for the restoration.

AFAIK it has had 75/90. I changed it for the first time in Sept '12. I am the original owner and it has 281000. However, the trans had been dropped several times to replace the slave cyl. I don't know it the mechanics drained and filled the trans at that time. It is still not on the road yet. So, I cannot comment on performance.

I got my trans worked on earlier this year and the mechanic told me to use Penzoil Synchromesh. So I did.

There is a plastic clip with a copper tabs connected to the park brake. When the brake is pushed down, the copper tabs separate causing the electic contact to flow to the idiot light. When the brake is off (up) the copper tabs ground out and the light is off. Check the park brake for the plastic part. Mine is light blue. Make sure the power wire is connected. Clean between the copper tabs. Grease can get on them and weaken the contacts. If that doesn't fix it, you can try three other methods: 1. cover the light with elctrical tape. 2. remove the offending light from the dash 3. or wait for the bulb to burn out. ;)

Your welcome. For my bill, you can send me a case of that beer. :brows:

It did "chirp" It was pretty consistant, though. Sometimes it would not be chirping then suddenly it would start.

If you have a 2.5/4 cyl, then you have either an AX4 (4 spd) or an AX5 (5 spd). If you have the 4.0/6 cyl, then would have the BA10/5 (5 spd). This assumes that the trans have not been changed. Either way, you have the internal slave cylinder. That will require dropping the trans if it is the slave. To check if it is the master, look above the clutch pedal for moisture on the dust cap of the master cyl. Rub you fingers on the top of the fuse block and check for moisture. If either is wet, then change the master cyl. It is an easy change. Then bleed the system.

What yr is your MJ? What trans do you have? Is there alot of fluid coming out from the bell housing? Probably the slave. Is fluid leaking on to your fuse block? Probably master.

Well, unfortunately, I am in the 10th month of a 5 month restoration. :hmm: The MJ is not back yet. The carpet is not in yet. The color is a perfect match. However, it needs to be trimmed to size and needs the various openning cut (trans and t-case, seat bracket posts, etc.) The ebay link had a higher price then Stock Interiors. Do some due diligence on pricing and additional options. My 2 cents.

I got my carpet from www.stockinteriors.com Mine is the brown/tan interior, also. The color for the carpet is "buckskin."

Why isn't the Chevy Volt on the list? I had read that Ford sold more Edsils than Chevy sold Volts in the same time period. Your tax dollars at work!

I would say it is the head light switch. All of your issues (except reverse) run through that. Your turn signal and brake lights work independent of the light swicth. The reverse lights are activated by a switch on the trans. That is probably the issue there.

:doh: Sorry 'bout that, Chief. I guess I should RTF header.
