2000 Jeep Cherokee Questions & Answers
My 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo won't stay charged
Trouble shooting required:
What voltage is do you get with a multi meter at the battery terminals when the vehicle is running. (looking to see the alternator is putting out the required voltage)
What voltage when it is not running & during cranking. (testing the quality of the battery)
Does the battery go flat overnight? What if you disconnect the battery overnight? (Looking to see if something is draining the battery when the vehicle is not running)

2000 Jeep Cherokee A/C not blowing cold,
test compressor unit to make the clutch magnet is to make sure its engaging. Youtube it or google it and you'll be surprised what you find. It can be a DIY if your handy that way. And a lot less expensive as there are replacement parts for these.

Jeep Cherokee Sport 2.5 D
By power washing it you probably have water in the electrics and the electronics!! Take the Jeep to a good auto electrician and he might be able to tell you where the problem is. At least then you'll know where to start looking.
THIS is what happens when you pressure wash modern engines!!

2004 jeep grand cherokee laredo, po162, po123
It is most likely the TPS sensor for the P0123 code(TPS voltage out of range). If P0123 occurs again, repair. The P0162 may be a result of the P0123 failure. So repairing the P0123 may also correct the P0162 fault.
The P0162 appears to be Jeep enginr specific. The following link may be of help.

2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport heating & a/c problem.
If your saying the blower runs intermittently, I'd start testing at the blower motor when problem is ongoing, if good voltage and ground with no blower action, suspect the blower motor. Did you use a test light to check voltage at fuses, as you can see, one fuse goes hot with the key on, the other fuse is hot all the time. The top wire in diagram for blower motor is voltage, the bottom wire is ground.
Any motor that uses brushes and the brushes are worn badly, the motor may run intermittently.

..Fusible Link What gauge wire do I need to use for the main fusible link in a 2000 jeep cherokee?
my guess he means , what thermal wire code to use.
they are color coded.
the fuse is bottom M1/M2 location of the PDC right"?
the problem is the OP failed to show exact wire.
my guess this is PDC question, (where are your hands/?)
fuse link A11? gas engine, right, USA?
A11 code 10 DG (dark green)
to the generator?
caused by shorted ALT or changing it with battery connected
yes, they blow.
the they have not just one engine, nor one alternator
but 124 amps the alt on 4L , with automatic. 4speed.
these are the rules. SAE.ORG
What size replacement fusible link should be used ?
The automotive service industry recommends using the same gauge and length as the blown fusible link after the cause of failure is corrected.
guide lines,
A 14-gauge wire would be protected by an 18-gauge fusible link. A 6-gauge wire would be protected by a 10-gauge link, and so on. Odd number wire gauge sizes like 19, 15, 13 and 11 are counted when sizing a link. The length of a fusible link should not exceed 9".
is the old link, still readable.
see the color
measure its size,. these tow question are first.
my jeep FSM shows it as 10 gage harness size. (M1/M2 gen slot)
so, 8 gauge thermal link is my guess. per SAE.
why not go to jeep and buy it?

Engine will only run if gas pedal is pressed all the way
the battery is dead, you know that. (and may be bad)
why, is the only issue.
if lucky just its no good, now, the love to go totally dead after being
totally discharged, like that.
we use charger to see if it has hope, if not a new battery now.
when started was the charge /battery lamp off?
why not take the battery to walfart and exhange it. for new.
take it home and now it starts.
then see if the battery works and holds charge,
charge lamp in cluster out.
or use voltmeter see 13.3. to 15vdc, normal alternator power.
a bad battery (shorted) can cause the altenator to shut down
so, only good battery there is best practices, or go crazy.
right now,im trying to bet my boat trolling battery back to life.
but is hopeless......
if you had a battery charger in your shop
you;'d already know, battery good/bad.

the

(4) The retaining tabs are positioned on each side
of the sleeve, when inserting the extractor, ensure

Used connector to bridge heat and AC
done so , far far from home, many times, hoses ruptured.
i think you meant the heater core hoses leaked
so I bypassed them with new hose.
some do this on warm tropical islands and run like that for ever
in fact , my first car a 1964 dodge, it was on option (heat)
there are exceptions, on some cars, as the hose feeds the thermostat base in this very odd way, (rice cars)
but not this car.
this the 4.0L ?

Tac and speedometer not working. What's problem?
Jeep XJ it is.
the Cluster is a computer. brain,
a stand alone display.
fuse 16 in PDC (cluster memory fuse)
and fuse 9 in JB . runs it. JB is cab fuse box.
so what works in the cluster, all things, but not speed or tacho.
engine runs ok
scan tool show no DTC errors.?
all warning lights in cluster work? at self test key?????
if the PCM can not comm, to the cluster, the cluster
can not show tach or speed, can't , and cant update odometer either
does the odometer roll moving>? i bet not
the cluster is a stand alone unit, with puter brain (processor)
fuel guage work?
if the scan tool shows U codes or C codes and comm errors
that must be addressed first. (cause)
see?
you cant fix cars, with out a $5 scan tool, cant. why not buy one
and use it?
ask how, 1000's of choices here... and more.

P0443evap solenoid how I fix it
You didn't say what kind of car this is, but a P0443 code is typically a Ford code. The evap solenoid is located on the passenger side, near the firewall where the A/C filter dryer is. A vacuuum hose is connected from the solenoid to another switch called a flow sensor and then to the fuel rail.
