My 2002 Export 2.5 CRD KJ Sport came out with a hefty Steel Skid Plate under the engine! I think all Sport models came like this in those days....maybe only the Export models? Maybe you may be very lucky in finding one in a scrapyard!- Billwill

Won’t Crank When Hot
I agree with Ksat but try the following as well when the failure occurs. Swap over the Starter Motor Relay with an identical one inside the Fuse/Relay Box under the hood. Re-plug fuses #8 and #28 inside the Fuse/Relay Box in case they are making poor contact. If that does not help then make...- Billwill

06 Liberty - Battery Light - Still on after alternator and battery change
There is always a good chance that it is a wiring problem....I have pulled off about 15 wiring faults after a front end shunt! Best to download the 2006 KJ Service Manuals here....describes how charging works and the Wiring Section 8W has the Wiring Diagrams! Page 8W-20-2 shows the "Generator"...- Billwill

06 Liberty - Battery Light - Still on after alternator and battery change
Be careful when replacing Alternators in that they are not all the same...there are differences between years and models ie. gasser or CRDs....the regulation methods do vary between models and years. The thick wire coming off the RED Battery connector going to the large lug on the Alternator is...- Billwill

KJ 2.5 CRD Heavy Black Smoke issue
Where are you located? I am in South Africa but ausjeepoffroad.com has a lot of Fixed Vane CRD owners with some good advice! Be careful when cleaning the MAP Sensor....I only use Brake Cleaner Spray on it...no brushing or scrubbing! I got sudden black smoke on my 2002 Export CRD when one of...- Billwill

Curved Clutch Flywheel for CRD Only?
I have maybe been incorrect about my posts as regards the Curved Flywheel on the manual KJs. This I now think this may only be relevant on the CRDs that have the Manual Gearbox with the Dual Mass Flywheel! Going through the documentation it seems that the Gassers without a Dual Mass Flywheels...- Billwill

What did you do to your jeep today?
Just be aware that the Flywheel is curved....not flat! Minor scratch marks on the Flywheel can be sanded out but it must NOT be machined flat!- Billwill

Back window will not close
You can put a Ohm-meter across the microswitch contacts...with the wires disconnected...to check if the contacts make and break when operated. Then with the meter set to DC Volts you can plug the wires back onto the switch and see if voltage gets transfered across it when it is activated...- Billwill

Back window will not close
Yeah the micro switch usually goes bad...there was a Tech Tip issued for it years ago....I think it gets water inside it! I have not had any problems with it on my Export 2002 CRD but looking at the microswitch it looks like a standard microswitch you can buy at any Electronics supply shop. In...- Billwill

Parts for CRD in other Jeeps etc
The Export CRDs ie. "Cherokees" do not have lift pumps in the fuels tanks....no pump at all other than the CP3 pump up front. The wiring harness I believe is mostly in place! Some owners do fit them but I have never had a problem with my 2002 2.5 L Export CRD. No EGR on the 2002/2003 Export...- Billwill

Welcome! Your CRD will be the "Export" version...I have the 2002 Export 2.5L CRD. Your Export CRD is pretty close to the USA models...2 things we have that make the USA owners very jealous are: We can fold our outside mirrors back and forward again with a switch on the door...useful if you...- Billwill

Bad ecu?
Could be a wiring/earthing problem whereby a wire is earthing to ground or to another random wire....these Jeeps are getting old and wires chafe through to chassis/engine or other wires.....very difficult to find! Engine/chassis grounds get rusty and dirty! I fixed about 16 wiring issues as...- Billwill

Bad atlernator or something else?
What year/model is your Jeep? CRDs have the alternator pulley with a built-in clutch that smooths out the effective start-stop action of the rotating engine...this pulley can fail. Early pulleys were "dry" inside and tended to fail sooner than newer pulleys which are filled with grease. My 2002...- Billwill

Put a voltmeter across the horn and measure the voltage...you expect to get +12 volts there.....if not then check that the earth-side of the horn is in fact going to Ground and that +12 volts is there with respect to chassis/engine! Have you checked the fuse-box under the hood? Johnny O has... -
