2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sounds like water is getting into the crankcase. Check the oil to see if it is getting milky white. If so, you either have a blown head gasket or a creaked block. You might try draining and flushing the crankcase and putting a bottle of something like Bars Leak in the radiator. If the leak is small enough this might work. Good Luck.

Yes it must be programmed.

Short in battery cell or bad connections or the alternator is going bad. Have it fixed before you fry the computers in your car.

Hi Pop into to your local garage and have a diagnostic test carried out. Listen to the advise given. It may save you lots of money, especially if you start the "guessing" game. It does sound like a part may be blocked or failed though, but the sytem needs to be tested thoroughly first. Good luck Roger

The first thing I would check is to make sure battery is securely tied down, cables are connected, and in good shape. Sounds basic but it has caused this problem for many of us. - mark -

I can provide a source for the wiring diagrams, hopefully the needed diagrams will be in there, if not you will need to buy a factory service manual set. Here is the link: http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html

What year and model? A standard answer will be you have an electrical problem possibly an alternator or a poor ground when you lose power to the radio it will reset has the battery died recently?

it should be in the engine compartment in the relay/breaker box

You need the Body control module (BCM) scanned for faults, these are BCM related problems, yes they are all computer controlled. Also did you get the new BCM programmed for your vehicle?

if you went to jeep they'd tell you not to do that(use what you bought) Jeep has the right parts.... why to go geeks , its car not a PC. your car has the IMMO called SKIM. (complex , RTM yet, no) it will not be hacked by ANY geek or box. JEEP uses, rolling encrypted codes to start the engine. SKIM allows it. your trying to bypass that with out jeeps help is nuts. over the top, waste of time or even worse DANGEROUS. why put this junk on your car.? the car works great with out it.! then late, you need car fixed and your mechcanic needs to jump hoops to discover what some other idiott did. hacking up a good working car. or far far from town and it fails, and nobody can help you did that to your self.!!! here, go to jeep buy the MOPAR system if H3ll bent to have this junk

why do you need a stealership?ever heard of and ASE certified shop.... its not the ECU it s not sensor is non of that, at all, its the STARTER SYSTEM.its a NO CRANKhere are the tests.17 of them.why did it start jumpedcorroded battery lugsbattery dead.? for many reasons not just batteryor what? its only a dead battery.its this. battery , cables, starter, wires, TRS switch and keyswitch.only THAT. and 1 starter relay.the ECU does not crank your engine, you do . http://jeepdied.com/no-crank.htmlthe iddiott lamps told you the Cluster computer was nutsas all do lacking full power, 10v or less all go NUTSas do all computers made with power is not at spec.that was your clue to , voltage is not right.charge the battery would be next.(or barrow one)then when it started as it surely wouldyou see if the charge lamp is out. in cluster.?if 'out the alternator may be ok.what can happen is 3 things:bad battery (or just discharged)bad alternator system (car will stall in 1 hour or less if this fails driving) 40amp/hr, rules.or phantom drains. (battery drains as you sleep or work an 8 hr shift)http://jeepdied.com/phantom/phantom%20drains.htmlgood luck and do ask questionstop quest is , why does a starter fail to work?(answer it not the ECU/PCM or EFI systems)

no. but slips , is big deal. check fuses check levels full flush it. scan it yet, no, but if the TCM is in limphome mode it will not shift right, so why do you skip scanning it. what it the TCM tells you a speed sensors is borked. why work blind.?scan it.first. does it slip in 1st gear? at 70mph that is called transmission flare, never a good sign that.

NO year? post year, and win.what country.> stated, why?cranks ok?diesel test fuel work>?(spray test)filters fresh.fuses okscan it yet?glow plug tests fail>(ask or read the SM?)

you think small words (short) finds and fixes complex machines that be impossible but in your case, the first post ever where the NV247 J transfer case actually state New Venture make first off no statement of where YOUR TIRES are sitting on. dirt, show, ice, pavement , on road, off road. what???? we cant guess that. only that it makes noise. and all do driving wrong, 4 All time-N-4 low. are you using 4-low, then stop doing that ON ROAD. the box runs a very special fluid for the "Gerator pump, which uses special transfer case lube " do not play with this fluid or use GL4 or GL5 or mix in other wrong fluids, or omg adding additives of any kind like dang LOOCUSS bs. your video is dead. tell when it make noise in ALL Time mode? only all speeds all gears in main trans accelerating only decel? turns? only like that, or why not get a real 4wd shop to find it. as we are blind here and cant hear, or drive it .

3 problems and no engine stated. oldest story ever on gas engines. 1: for the transmission question, check levels and scan it yet? 2; in the rain. questions, ever get tuneup this decade no engine stated. if the crank sensor, has 1 bolt do not play with it ask how to do it and not wreck the new one. ok? as seen on 4.0L engines. fuel gauge can be bad fuel gauge sender. stalls 101: (1 top cause of 50) if you scan it ,at the stalls it will tell you why it stalled. most times. ever try new spark plugs.>?(and filters) 4.0L or 4.7L engine? gas. which one. 4.0 has a spark coil RAIL, making owners fear spark plug changes. (bad to the bone that) and the coil pack can be just dirty and when it rains it conducts HV electrons and shorts. until dryer. same here but different. the 4.7L has 8 coil packs, COPS, any can fail, boots fail and sure bad spark plugs, no spark plug made last the life of an engine, so is called a TUNEUP part. or SCHEDULED SERVICE POINTS (prevention) if 4Liter engine the inline 6 this red spacer must be used on all news CKP sensors or the next startup wrecks the new sensor seen on this forum 1000s times, and now car as dead spark sad to watch. the paper and glue spacer is 0.030" think, 30 thou ! (took lost of work to learn how think, got it from maker) most schlock stores sell it lacking this key #6 part.... adding to the pain.
