Find the half way point from overland park, ks to stockbridge,ga

find noise location first. never ignore noise on machines. and 10x that on man movers. 100x that in the air.

then scan it. using any obd2 scan tool,
a tool that does Jeep factory codes. 10x that.

There's not a major city at the exact halfway point, which is somewhere between Opelika, AL and LaGrange, GA.

Opelika is about 1 hour drive from Mongtgomery AL.

About 35-40 minutes further is LaGrange GA.

About 1 hour past LaGrange is your destination, Fayetteville GA.

Total trip (non-stop) is usually just under 2.5 hours (or less if you have a heavier foot).

Both LaGrange and Opelika are 'small' towns, with populations of around 27,000 to 30,000 people. Either would be a good place to stop for a rest.

I think you may have a carburetor problem.

check the crank sensor and the wiring

hello Anon.
battery charged, fuses good, F10 is RR. park
trailer wring hacks? (inspections find that) and collision damage there RR.
does RF work with RR fails>? both ends of car have park and blink.
I avoid Tail word for that one fact.
if you scan the PCM with a scan tool, are there DTC errors.
not scanning makes work 10x harder.!

"rear right tail light and blinkers do not work." both are dead? "and"
then turn off parks and blinks start working?
maybe the parks and blink wires shorted to gether.
what does not work mean, dead, or stuck on?
all key facts in diagnosis. all that.
i have 2007 GC FSm.

there are 4 elements (lamps actual there)
park is seperate from blink , totally.

the MIP module under hood drives turns off sperate drivers.
LF, RF ,LR, RR. so RR is bad. and not related to front like old cars.
park feed
all park lines go to a single point, the park relay 7 output.
so if something shorts to park all parks mess up.
each line has a fuse. so each can die by self.
There is only 1 park relay #7

so my question is, do any other park lamps mess up.
you said the blinks and parks (tail) do not work.
so? what about all park lamps. side and front.

if only RR fails, no other symptoms, i concur, bad ground. there.

a volt meter can measure bad grounds
with wire to battery neg,
and red meter at ground on lamp base.
if not 0v, or less than (0.5v) a 1/2 volt, its bad.

Sounds like a heater core/thermostat problem or blend door problem. The grinding noise sounds like a transfer case problem. If your mechanic cant figure out the problem you need a new mechanic.

You can take it to your Jeep dealer and have the service department try to flash the computer. This may fix it. If not you will need to purchase a shift control module. They are about $ 590.00. This is a very common problem on the Jeep Cherokees and Grand Cherokees. Hopefully you are under warranty still. If you ignore this problem this is what will eventually happen: You will be driving down the road and your vehicle will not want to go over 15 mph and it will shift erratically. Do not wait to correct this problem or you will regret it. Yes it is a very expensive part, but a computer in itself that the vehicle needs to function correctly.

Sounds like it is in 4 wheel drive mode.
If you have a switch to disconnect the 4 wheel drive it may not be working.
If the vehicle is full time 4 wheel drive or computer controlled 4 wheel drive you have most likely a locked in full 4 wheel drive mode situation.
Not good on dry pavement.

raise the front of the car and support on jack stands and secure the back end so it does not roll clean the linkage pivot points and lubricate them with multipurpose grease and that should help you with your problem
