Hey folks,
I just bought my first cherokee two weeks ago. I had been wanting to get one for years and finally got a deal i couldn't pass up. I bought a 93 cherokee country it has about 190,000 on it and i got it for 800 bucks. runs good but has some wiring problems. the front windows did not work at all, the power locks and dome lights don't work either. While searching for tips to fix it I came across this site and let me tell you it helped alot. Here's the predicamint that I am in now. I found out that the floor boards are rusted through on the drivers side, in front of the seat. The wire also rotted out and shorted, burning about 1 foot of wire in the harness. i spent 2 hours resplicing all of them and finally got the power windows to work (all four) from the front control pannels. The problem is the rear windows do not work from their switches. Also the dome lights still do not work after all the splicing that i did. the bulbs and the fuse for the dome lights are good. I have found that the pink (hot all the time) wires in the vehicle are not hot at all, anywhere. I am at my wits end with these wires and am seriously thinking of rewiring all the hot leads to the dome lights. Any input or help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
P.S.
anyone know if you can change the lifters on the straight 6 withou pulling the head. I had heard that the pushrod guide holes are large enough to allow this. I would like to replace the lifters, pushrods and rockers but would hate to pull the head cause i have no garage to do this in.
