Problem solved! And without a trip to the parts store. One bad ground wire and one questionable. The ones shown in the photo behind the spare tire wall. Holes in the wheel well allowed moisture and salt (WNY vehicle) to get up inside and rust them out. Thanks to Tim_MN for the advice!

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try.

Right, the 705 code is Trans range sensor malfunction. I suck at the electronic stuff but my thought is maybe pushing brake/opening door causes some electrical short that messes with the transmission position sensor which cuts the engine? Or maybe a computer issue with all the tail light...

1999 stock XJ... Weird electrical issue where engine stalls when I open the driver side door or depress brake pedal. Keep getting CEL w/P0705 code. Seems to be related to driver side electronics in general. Other oddness with this problem... 1. Interior lights are kind of dim when activated by...

Fuel pump was my first thought when I first had the problem about a month ago. It sat overnight next day and started without issue and ran perfectly for 4 more weeks till this happened again. I was told by a service tech fuel pumps either work or they don't. Fuel pressure test at the rail was...

Wouldn't bad o2 and/or cat cause a CEL? Do you agree disconnecting the downstream o2 would force engine to stay in open loop? As mentioned before, just need to drive it 50 miles home. Think forcing open loop will prevent the stalling that happens after extended driving at highway speeds so I...

I actually don't know if it is clogged. That a shops opinion. No CEL. Something causing a bad fuel ratio after extended driving at highway speeds. After things cool off it runs fine. Even when I have the problem it will restart and idle perfectly. Any chance this could be a bad O2 sensor that's...

More details in earlier post

Having an issue where engine looses power after getting up to temp. Like 30+ miles at highway speeds. Thought to be a clogged catalytic convert. Getting more clogged when hot causing O2 sensor to give bad info for fuel air mix. Runs fine when in open loop. Need to drive the vehicle home from...

Anyone know how to force a '98 4.0 to stay in open loop after warmup? I've read putting in a 160F thermostat as well as disconnecting 02 sensors.

In addition to my 99 4.0 XJ, I have a '98 grand 4.0. Starts beautifully but anywhere from 10-60 or so miles of highway driving engine looses power. If I try to give it any throttle it just gets worse. a couple times it has stalled. Most times it can stay barely running at idle, and sometime will...

1998 Grand Cherokee Limited with factory towing electronics... So, having a real problem figuring this on out. Have the factory round towing connector on back bumper. Running lights work fine. But, no brake lights or turn signals. Put a meter on the connector and get less than a volt of swing...

Resolution of my no hazards, no turn signals problem. Turned out not to be the flasher/relay. Was a 10amp fuse in the engine compartment box that's part of the circuit that supplies always on battery voltage to the flasher/relay. Thought I'd checked all the fuses, but missed that one. My biggest...

Yes I've had the flasher out. Going to buy a new one in a few minutes. I'll put that in and see if it works.

I guess I meant the Flasher - which I think is for functional purposes a relay.
