check that the actuator is getting power/vacuum to work

need more info like under what conditions, how quickly it starts and how fast the temp rises. in the mean time, check coolant/water level and color, thermostat, blocked hoses and air flow to radiator.

old post i cut it all off with plasma cutter and weld all else closed. but im a cave man.

Check shock asorber/ suspension

Hopefully your vehicle will have a drain plug in the bottom of the fuel tank*: remove this & drain the fuel. With the plug still removed flush about 5-10 litres of fuel thru by putting in thru the tank filler hole as usual. Replace the drain plug and put a FULL tank of fuel in (this will dilute any residue as much as possible) *In the case of no drain plug the fuel tank will need to be removed & fuel drained out thru the filler neck, drain fuel, replace tank & procede from the 'put a FULL tank of fuel section of this instruction. If the vehicle has been started with the bad fuel remove the fuel filter. If the vehicle has an electric fuel pump* (more modern vehicles ie. Post 1985 [some vehicles still had & still do have mechanicle fuel pumps]) turn the ignition on with the fiter not in place, vthis will flush fuel thru the fuel lines pushing out the bad/old fuel. Take care as the fuel will be under a fair bit of pressure & "sqirt' out. *If it is a mechanicle pump this can not be done in this way. Replace the fuel filter with a new one. Bleed the fuel system & start the vehicle. Allow the vehicle to idle for 10-15mins before going back to your usual driving. All shld now be ok but it is a good idea to routinely inspect the fuel system for leaks over the nxt 10 000km or six months (wich ever is earlyest) as in the case of puting petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol the different rubber and plastic items (such as 'o' rings) can begin to deteriate & leak in wich case they will require replacement. All the best & I hope this is of some help & it works out for you... Referances: Me, I am an auto mecanic.

id did it wrong and you ask use what that means. its Brakes, no latte's its a seal, and is required, my guess is it will leak and nobody will notice and 10 folks will be killed. or you see the leak and go , gee, i messed up. on some cars the hose is tapered. ok others is a straight thread, and the copper seal is serious as a heart attack..

Probably the power steering pump is bad.

check the turbo spins when running also have the cylinder compression checked also try the air filter and diesel filter hope this helps

my first question, why? sorry, but must be.... 06' Chickodee. 1: the service list skips this , did you notice that? 2: all my other cars we did this, so..... we sure did,,,,,,, 3: my fuel pressure is low.? (best answer today) 4: I just want to, let me, sure ,we will watch . (a bath in gas?) there are like a zillion posts like this online, , endless really but ill try to answer the why. the Answer as usual., is EPA bs. that is correct, their endless mandates. Car and trucks (light) were forced to dead head systems. from old LOOP systems. (edicts) ('the physics is that cool fuel dont evaporate and choke us to death mantra") to do this EPA bs, they had to move all parts into the TANK. pump ,filter, fuel pressure regulator (all parts) and one line called a dead head, (or loop-less if sounds better) omg, look here, one large PDF for these years, 145mb. 7000 pages.!!!! http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service (ive posted this link 100 times,) check out chapter 14. PDF page 5036 shows your answer. cut & paste Fuel Filters Two fuel filters are used. One is located at the bottom of the fuel pump module. The other is located inside the module. A separate frame mounted fuel filter is not used with any engine. Both fuel filters are designed for extended service. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure indicates to do so, unquote. my post will help all owners of all cars that dont understand EPA mandates. it effects all cars made in USA< not just this car. short answer. DON'T.

Check it out on you tube !

use a scan tool? got DTCs? errors.? motto: scan first , wonder 2nd. is chugging misfire?

FSM 101 or the parts list. shows this. the parts list show 2 types. one in the main lamp. ID 7 in drawing then the optional bumper fog kit, rear. so bumper. but since its and option, its not that well covered. not in fsm i bet. did you look.? so here is my best guess. the kit shows NO SCREWS. so just pry's off see it here. http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_product=4612193&ukey_assembly=1122497 or im wrong and you must gain inside access to trip the plastic locking lever on lamp. as you see the lens is not SOLD. so?

It is perfectly normal, no need to worry

double posted, sorry, no double answers. back up one post and read.

This is a common problem for most jeeps...The only safe thing you can do is just check all drivetrain components for leaks and add to anything low...(You can disconnect negative battery cable to re-set computer and the trouble light will go off..It may stay off)..If nothing is leaking and nothing seems wrong and all works fine take it to dealer and have it scanned....It may just need a flash update for computer system...Or a simple sensor../perhaps a certain solenoid....I once worked for Chrysler and we had these problems with trouble lights with all Chrysler products...Most we're simple flash updates that were needed.....It may be some type re-call....you never know...Chrysler has a lot of issues...Of course all vehicles do but Jeep was once their own company AMC ..I think they should have stayed that way.........Hope this helps......Brooks......

I-6 4.0L or V8? 4.7L???????thats not a good sign. not at all. NoT road worthy, at all.pray tell. the brake pedal cancels Cruise , right.>?sounds like Toyota Disease.?floor mats hitting throttle pedal?let me tell you that newer cars can kill cruise for 18 reasons.but the older the car , the less reasons.some do , only with brake switch cancel or neutral selection (man killer cars.)you never posted what engine option is there, or transmission.on the newer cars, if the TBW , throttle by wire fails.cruise is rendered Inop.and goes to limphome. (low speeds and cruise is dead..)here is the FSM. see chapter called fueling....http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#servicebtw all my early jeeps had this issue. with bad TPS.1988 to 1999my 08 , no.all MAP based speed densty fuel systems at risk (by its nature)to have excessive RPM.any air leaks.or throttle jammed open.or vacuum leaks, on the new cars its has a new check to see that that dont happen.RPM - and manifold vacuum, do not match TPS angle.in gringo that means the engine actions dont match your right foot.i then drops , cruise, and then goes to limphome mode on all newer cars. my wrangler this happened beginning for 07, but its 3.8L V6.the mech, would first makes sure the engine runs perfectby driving. it , and then using a scan tool (rent one) and see if thereare any DTC error any where. a FULL SCAN.first see page 50 , (FSM) fueling, figure 37]see that, see those cables,you need to find out of any of those are sticking.as you can see the Cruise control has its own CABLEso both it , the control actuator or the cable can stick.these need careful, checking per the FSM.sadly my FSM above has bugs (its not really mine, just my link)has an error in the speedcontrol chapter, you can see it.alldata.com has all this, log in and read.the key to finding this, is.does the brake pedal cancel it.Y/nif no. then the Cruise acuator or something else has jammmedopen the throttle. ( or any gross air leak to engine induction)cheers./!

a jeep BENZ? really?

what help? how to turn a screw?i want to do it DIY?i need someone to do it.?who can do it.?ask a real question.?here is one.I wish to DIY my XXXwhat are the steps( answer the FSM)what parts need replacing , see FSM and find bad parts.what tools do i need? (FSM)who sells them , answer;? the dealer.here they are,in all there gloryhttp://www.factorychryslerparts.com/productSearch.aspx?&ukey_make=1064&ukey_model=15529&modelYear=2006&ukey_category=0&ukey_driveline=0&ukey_trimlevel=0&ukey_modelRange=0&isOnSale=0&searchTerm=

did you scan the PCM? with a scan tool and then report all errors? big fail if not. U0100 - Lost Communication With Engine Control Module

the online, parts pages dont show screws. so............... and is a OPTION kit. so it must pry off.? you can see it at jeep parts look here and see it. http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/productSearch.aspx?ukey_make=1064 only the FSM covers how to remove a lamp , to such details. buy one. or try alldata.com rear fog options are, weak on documentation.
