The fuse box is located under the hood on the right side by the battery.

SOURCE: LOCATION OF LIGHTER FUSE FOR 1996 JEEP GRAND

If you have the owner's manual look up fuses in the index, good illustration. If you don't, I do. It shows a relay and a 15 amp fuse. Look at the passenger kick panel, pull the cover, and it is #2 fuse (second from the top on the left) The see the relay you may have to pull the panel (two screws and a clip) the relay is the third cavity down, third row from the firewal side.
Let me know if this works for you?

SOURCE: where is the pcm on 1997 jeep grand cherokee 6 cyl?

I don't think the PCM is your problem, is the check engine light on? It could be you idle air control motor this is located on the throttle body, but because this happens while driving I am thinking you will need to replace your crank shaft position sensor it is located on the transmissinon bell housing it is very hard to replace without the correct tools. If the check engine light is on take it to a local auto parts store and ask if they can check the check engine codes for you they usally will do this for free.

I can't get the vehicle information center in my 96 Jeep grand Cherokee to work no lights, warning, nothing, can't locate exact fuse but all looks good?

I would start with the Fuse Box under the hood. Start by pulling the Fuse's 1 at a TIME!! I have done it befor time & time agean. It's probley by the Battery. It's a black box that has " Main Fuse " or something alone that line. There just like the Fuses under the Dash, BUT BIGGER! They can be hard to tell if they blew. I have done it so, much that I know. If it's not that I would check the Fuse Box in the Dash. Jerry Dunn

SERVICE 4WD SWITCH

The 4WD Switch is the indicator that tells the VIC (Vehicle Information Center) if you are in 4Low or 4High. Have it replaced.

I replaced the switch at a cost of $ 80.00. The Jeep Dealer said if it doesn't fix it that I would the VIC.

Good luck (remember rated this).

Jeep Grand Cherokee straight 6 1997. My information center keeps telling me my coolant sensor is bad. I replaced the coolant sensor with two different new sensors and it still keeps beeping at me. Truck...

You'll have to look around on some of the jeep forums for exact details on how to remove the VIC, but the problem is the #8 wire in a ribbon connector that holds the two VIC circuit boards together. One is the "brain", and the other is the display, and interface.They go together in the VIC "box" like a sandwhich, with the ribbon cable in between.

The factory that made the VICs use a wave soldering method, and the #8 pin (which is the coolant sensor ground pin- IIRC it's pink- will have a cold solder joint.

It takes about 15 minutes to get the VIC out of the car, and if you can solder, another 5 to fix the problem. I'd advise re-soldering all the connections, while you're in there.

OR, buy a used VIC off of someone on E-Bay. The problem with that is they might have the same affliction.

The service 4wd switch light shows on the display sometimes

Check the information about VIC (Vehicle Information Center)in here: ZJ-Secc-8E-Instrument-Cluster-and-Gauges (Section 8E Page 11 and next)

Maybe is an reminder about service or maintenace time.

Good luck!!!

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Left Tail/Stop Light Inop.

You need to check for power and ground. If you dont have a volt meter you can get a good cheap one from radio shack. If there is no power recheck with a known good ground. All the lights on that side share a common ground. Check the sockets for signs of burning or corrosion. There is a plug in the left rear quater panell. If you have no power check the corrisponding wire at that connector. The wires splice togeter just before the connector. So if the other brake/tail light is working you know the problem is after that. Hope this helps. Im sure you'll find the problem.
