jimoshel Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Today I picked up a 1994 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Unfortunately my Jeep knowledge pretty well ends at 1989. Know nothing about the '90's. Has the I6 with auto, 4wd, rust, dent free and apparently every option the factory had for that year. Killer stereo, every thing works, except for one minor detail. The hole in the oil pan where the bottom half of the connecting rod went thru it. $350. I originally got it to part it out but after seeing the body, no way. Gonna fix it. Questions. What year motors will interchange with this one? How do I turn off the 'security' light on the dash and the head and tail lights blinking? Anybody got a owners manual or a FSM for it? Corry, This should be down your alley. Jim :hmm:
HOrnbrod Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Any OBDI year engine (91-95) will interchange with no problems. Normally to disarm and reset the security system, insert the key in the driver's door, turn left, then right, then remove. That's if the system is functioning. There's also another way, but you have to get into the wiring to disable it. Pretty easy though. :cheers:
jimoshel Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Didn't work. They're still blinking.
dasbulliwagen Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 try unlocking the hatch door with the key, it might turn it off that way too, assuming the doorr switches are bad... seen it before.
jimoshel Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 The hatch did it. Thanks guys. Now if I can just get a FSM for it. EBay didn't have one.
carnuck Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I have the alarm and stereo system factory CD I bought on Evilbay. Got rid of my '93 for parts because the harness was too complicated to swap into my FSJ (where the 4.0L and 93 only JGC AW4 live)
JeepcoMJ Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 91-95 motors direct interchange. still may need to swap sensors. 91-93 flexplates are not interchangeable with 94-95. so, make sure you bolt the flywheel/flexplate from your bad motor to the good one.
jimoshel Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Got the pan and head off today. A close inspection says it's rebuildable so that's the route I'm taking. Thanks for the input everybody. Jim
