Anyone just driving with the ABS/ESP/Traction control christmas tree
Ironically, it started raining here today. It reset on the fly on it's own within a mile and the lights have stayed off since. Kinda makes me wonder if water can reach the air gap of the sensor at the tone wheel? I never paid much attention to it when I switched my assemblies several years ago...- Duster

Anyone just driving with the ABS/ESP/Traction control christmas tree
Yeah I would imagine it would get on your nerves plowing because it would get all confused and it's confusing to the driver when you haven't felt it in a good while. Especially the torque limiting. The natural response is to let off and be like what just happened when what you need to do is just...- Duster

Anyone just driving with the ABS/ESP/Traction control christmas tree
Yeah you are right, I am looking at pictures and there appears to be an allen head holding the sensor in place. So it could be replaced if I could find one. You also reminded me of the good old warranty word lol. I looked and it's been almost exactly 6 years since I did both of mine. Still have...- Duster

Anyone just driving with the ABS/ESP/Traction control christmas tree
Just wondering if any of you have just said screw it on this system and just drive on with the dash lights on? I assume you just don't have ABS anymore nor the traction control? I'm kind of aggrivated with it and at the moment the dash is staying lit and I'm not having any stupid issues while...- Duster

will do nothing when I turn to start
Nope, 2006 and up are different. Different computer and all that. I had the red warning light issue. Hell I thought that was the fuel pump priming light until it started it's crap and I found out it wasn't. I was pretty lost at first. Other vehicles have a light that looks like a key! Not the...- Duster

Mystery noise...need troubleshooting help
In my experience, noisey front wheel bearings sound like mud tire growl coming from the front end. They had no play so I thought it was something else, gave up and took it for diagnosis. He drove it, jacked it up, turned the front wheels and listened with a stethescope and said it was the front...- Duster

Blend door actuator
That dash pic made me cringe. I had to gut a car one time because the door drains had these flapper things on the drain holes and they got stuck. The doors filled up with water until it got up high enough to find another place to drain from, which was into the interior of the car. Went out and...- Duster

Towing Upgrades - 05 KJ
Yeah, open trailer seems to sail along fine. Depends on rather or not it has a ramp gate and how it's made. Again, not the weight, it's the air drag at interstate speed. A heavy duty mesh gate is like pulling a wall down the road at speed. I guess after a certain speed the aerodynamics are about...- Duster

Yeah, me too. I have just had it for years and want yet another one. Someone got it new, drove it 6600 miles and I got it used half price. It has 240K now and I catch myself hawk eyeing for another that's a lot fresher sometimes. It think it's more that I think something major is going to...- Duster

Towing Upgrades - 05 KJ
If I were you I would find out what it weighs exactly or roughly. Then think a bit more. I would also find out what size tires/wheels/bolt pattern it is. You may want to pick up new tires on wheels to take with you to go get it. If it hasn't been even opened in years, it's likely the tires are...- Duster

02 kj for sale
Under a tree like the last one I happened across. I was like oh yeah, nice condition, limited, small lift, nice wheels and tires, all looking good until I realized it had been sitting there with one of the rear windows down for months. I keep looking around for Grandpa or Grandmas KJ to come up...- Duster

Weird problem (help!)
Well it has to have one, but the 07 does not have one of the replaceable type. It has an electronic throttle body. To answer the question to the resolution... this was in 2014 and it was the battery. While I am thinking about this, and thinking about batteries, I am going to say something that...- Duster

Rear Swing gate wont open
There is a little access panel on the door panel. Pull it, then reach in there and unplug the lock actuator. Then once you unlock again, it should then pop the glass and open the door when you pull on the handle. I need to replace the one in the door and the one on my back glass. Once in a...- Duster

Blend door actuator
Look at the parts diagrams really good over again. Double check part name and number. I say this because I went through this on my Acura RDX. Everybody had their own name for the part I needed, including me. I had to look at the diagrams again, then look at all the related parts from everywhere...- Duster

Pictures indicate what you are working on is a front wheel drive 4 cylinder... which is NOT a 2006 Jeep Liberty. What vehicle is this pictured above? Is it a Jeep Patriot maybe?- Duster

Jeep kj oil leak/10.5 mpg?
While it is idling, pull the dipstick loose. See if you hear any sound. If not, pull the stick on out and put it aside. Feel for suction or air coming out of the dipstick tube. Let me know. Also, open your airbox, lift your filter and check your foam filter in the side of the box where the...- Duster

Oil pressure warning light 2005 Jeep Liberty
I don't usually do this but this time around, I'm going to second the use of Mobil 1 in these engines. I've never worried too much about the viscosity numbers. The older ones called for 5w30 and the newer ones called for 5w20. The engine as far as I can tell did not change. So 0w20 5w20 0w30...- Duster

'07 died, now won't restart without pressing pedal
That about had me whipped. It warmed up outside a bit more today and it seemed to run a little better a little longer. I had kind of put the crank sensor and coolant sensor on the end of the list since the gauges seemed to be operating normally. And although my first thought was the coolant...- Duster

CrankShaft Position Sensor. 2007 Liberty 3.7
I have run issues but no codes, so I was reading in the service manual on the crank position sensor. Then came back here, ran a search on it to see what I could dig up and came across this. Of course I said oh boy when I saw this! I never would of dreamed this would be an issue. So what...
