Just bought 1995 GC LTD 4.0L Few Newbie questions
Hi All,
Just joined the Jeep Family, First question, The Message Center (bottom of Center Console) keeps reverting to 0:00 time and SUN 1 JAN after a day of running, it does not lose the "Miles to service" info though. any advice on how to fix? Haynes manual does not mention it. 2. The Climate Control system. The heater heats to a certain point (20C) then stabilises no matter how high I turn it it does not increase. Could it be the Thermostat? The AC does not cool either. ( I will be recharging it with freon today). 3. There is an intermittent Clicking sound (loud plasticky click)coming from the Glove compartment area. at a few minute intervals. Any clue as to what it could be? 4. I also noticed that the driver's side Carpet is wet, and does not smell like antifreeze, I am stumped on that. The car has 140000KM and was leaking oil from the valave cover gasket, and a little oil in the air filter, so I changed the CCV valve and the gasket, so all is well there. it runs beautifully !!! Looking forward to learning more about my ZJ and what fun I can have with it. Thanks, Paul 1995 GC Limited 4.0L |

to investigate a windshield leak for the wet carpet.

Noise is hard to trace. Even if you absolutely know it's coming from someplace it may be coming from someplace else. I spent about an hour tracking down a small buzz just to discover it was the button on my winter jacket that was hanging on the back seat. :) -- DougW |
