I've done the same....Got my $100 down on the Outer Banks.... XJ was a good intro for me to know I'm liking the off road stuff, but I need something more reliable. Not that it has totally broken down, but this constant "little things" are killing me. So I'm going to be selling the XJ in a...

what really through me off is that the Cruise work work,, but only for like 20 seconds and then not work again until the next time I used the jeep. Makes no flipping sense.. but since I zip tights that switch in, Cruise has been working consistently.

So it has been awhile and basically I just got tired of chasing my tail. This weekend I decided to at least attempt to once and for all at least narrow down the problem (or so I thought). Basically there are 4 wires going into the servo.. I figured I could rig something up to "monitor" those 4...

That is a very important tid-bit I did not know. I thought it was my speedo cable and that electrical component totally looked like the cruise control setup from an older XJ. Watching a YouTube video (so you know it has to be correct, right? :P ) sounds like I can just unplug that thing to...

I found out what the fuse block is... nothing about Cruise Control it looks like.. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/hidden-relay-box-under-lower-dash-169543/

Ok.. took a look under my dash.. I think the extra things I am seeing have to do with my Anti-lock brakes. I took some pics uploaded to my OneDrive: So for example, in what I was thinking is my speedo cable (running along side the gas pedal)... there is the object in pic 20200415_145830.jpg...

Thanks.. that is what I did and when the cable didn't pull, I replaced the Servo with a new one and still the same issue. I'm starting to wonder if my 93 (with only 55k miles on it) has somehow gotten the older version of Cruise Control in it. I'm going to look under the dash after work.

I'll have to go check under my dash and see what I can find.. According to Haynes... 84-88 do have what you described... A Cruise Control Module with a separate speed sensor, and a Servo that has a 6 wire plug. On the 89-96, the ECU takes the place of the CC Module, and my servo only has 4...

About a month ago, my cruise control stopped working. I've been using it constantly since I've owned the XJ (about 2+ years) without issues. It seems that the common cause is Vacuum.. so I did some checking and what-not and pretty much ruled that out. Primarily based on 3 things... 1)...

I know this is a really old post but it came up with a Google search. I was trying to find out this exact thing. I lifted my XJ 3.5 inches and had it aligned. Then I ended up having to replace my steering box. When I removed the pitman arm and let that whole assembly drop down, my 1 tire...

Winner winner chicken dinner! The antenna was completely disconnected behind the kick panel. I use a small flat head screwdriver at to bend out the prongs to Reese nap it and then electrical tape just in case. Still have a radio on a order of course cuz I don't even own a cassette, but at least...

It's the little things that drive you crazy huh! I have a new radio on the way (cassette tape? Don't think so) but I'm going to check that kick panel today! Thanks for the info. Oh, and no hacking here. Got the factory adapter plug coming as well. I'm wiser than when I was young and no longer...

Thanks for all that great info. The brake lights turned out to be the switch. $30 part and I'm back in business. The wobble and steering play is my main focus because although not to bad, I don't want to wife driving it like that. I noticed yesterday all the bushings are pretty rotten so I'm...

Lol thanks...Yeah I bought a jeep because it was relatively simple to work on...I didn't buy it to HAVE to work on it Looking forward to fixing it...to a point :)

Hi everyone! If you had told me a month ago that I was going to buy a Jeep I would have laughed at you. But today I brough home a 1993 Cherokee County with 53k miles on it for just under $5k. Having 2 other relatively new cars, I will say it was strange to drive something so Old tech ( or...
