    Bulb fine, now what?

    You guys rock. Thanks for the video post. That was it. A drop of solder on #11 and I had my low beam left side back. Thanks again! Mockfish

    Bulb fine, now what?

    I have a 97 Limited that my driver side headlight went out. It works on brights, but not on normal. Replaced the bulb, same thing. Even doubled checked both bulbs on the passenger side. Both worked fine on normal and bright. What gives? Does this automatically make it some wiring I have to...

    How to: 2nd Gen Blend Door Quick Fix

    I have a 97 Limited. It doesn't have the dials. It has the auto buttons with the ability to set exact temps. Probably make sense though.

    How to: 2nd Gen Blend Door Quick Fix

    Put my vote in for the cut the bottom way. I tried the nail in the accuater way only to have it work for 2 days. (multiple times I might add). After a $10.99 door from Napa and hour of time, I was done. It probably could have been done faster, but I was a little nervous about cutting something...

    blend door problem

    Where exactly did you cut the housing? Bottom? Front? How big? Anybody got a picture of the hole they cut? Thanks!

    Aftermarket blend door

    Bump! Anyone have a picture of the cut job of exactly where and how big on the bottom of the mixer box? I'd love to see a shot of a done one, prior to me going in and chunking it up. Thanks!

    External Air Temperature Troubleshooting

    Thanks for clarifying the "CAL" reading. I guess I'm back to jiggling wires and trying what Budwich suggested. Thanks again.

    External Air Temperature Troubleshooting

    Just hold down the middle mode button until it says VAR. From there i kind of guess a bit you can finally get it to say CAL. You push it a couple of times to get a random number. Then after about a day it goes away and reads ok. I'm sure someone can clarify the process better then that...

    External Air Temperature Troubleshooting

    A quick update. I tried calibrating it (which I didn't know about before) and it seems to be working for a while (couple of days), Every now and then it puts up a wild temperature but seems to go back to normal. If it gets stuck reading bad temeratures, I calibrate it again, and after a day...

    Aftermarket blend door

    Anybody ever try one of those aftermarket blend doors available on ebay? Are they any good, and how easy would it be to change out? I have one that's currently broken and even though I've done the jerry rig fix job, it hasn't seemed to take permanatley for me, so I was thinking about trying...

    External Air Temperature Troubleshooting

    We're talking apples and oranges then. I'm not talking about the plug the ambient air temperture sensor goes in, I'm talking a different plug/relay thing that is connected to the same wiring, and attaches a little below the temperature sensor (Which is up by the left headlight), and still...

    External Air Temperature Troubleshooting

    Correct "Stick-o", that's the sensor I replaced. The new sensor worked just like the old one. All over the board and not reading correctly (e.g., 10-20 degrees under the real temp to minus 40 degrees). It seems like it would have to be a signal sent to the display, right??? What do you...

    External Air Temperature Troubleshooting

    I've got a 97 Limited with the 4.0 SOHC. My overhead computer display has started reading the outside air tempature incorrectl, including saying the old -40 degree reading from time to time. I did a litle research and here and everyone seemed to think it's the ambient air temperature sensor...

    Check Air Ride System message

    JasonPA I'm curious what yours turns out to be. Mine seems to have the same problem ("check air ride system") comes on about every 5-6 starts. Besides that, it seems to ride fine. I too own a 97 limited. It can't be a coincidence. Can anyone give him/me some more advice on this? Thanks!
