    A/C starts cold then gets warmer

    Is the condenser a relatively easy fix as I’m fairly mechanically inclined and have the means to do simple/ somewhat easy fixes myself?

    A/C starts cold then gets warmer

    So my 02 KJ with the 3.7 has a bit of an a/c issue. When I start it the air is nice and cold but as it gets up to operating temp the air starts to gradually get warmer until it’s almost like having the heat on. I bought a recharge kit and the gauge reads the it’s full. Fortunately 2 of my 4...

    Rear swing gate

    So… after replacing the battery with a new one I found 2 things out. The first is that the old battery is from 2011 and after taking the old one out I realized that there is a melted electrical connector that’s more than likely to source of why it’s not starting. The problem now is I don’t know...

    Rear swing gate

    I’m hoping it’s something simple. I just replaced the water pump and this was the first time driving it since replacing it so it ***** that I can’t drive it again all of a sudden.

    Rear swing gate

    I was able to get the door/window open by manually unlocking the door from the inside of the door panel. The positive terminal has minimal corrosion but not much and the negative is clean. Even after unplugging the electrical connector for the rear latch I still can’t get it to start. I did see...

    Rear swing gate

    But of a strange one here… on my 2002 KJ Limited when I unlocked the door with the remote it unlocked fine but the latch at the rear swing gate was constantly clicking as if it was trying lock and unlock rapidly. Also noticed I had no power to anything and it wouldn’t start. I managed to get the...

    Thanks! It does look like that’s exactly what that hose is.

    Coolant hose

    So yet another issue on my 02 KJ 3.7 that I appropriately call Gremlin. To make a long story short I took it to a shop and they had diagnosed that the water pump needs replacing. So after some research I decided to pick it up and limp it home (about a 10 minute drive from the shop it was at) and...

    Passenger front window

    On my 02 KJ Limited my front passenger window is acting a bit strange and I can’t come up with a solution to fix it. When I press the button to lower the window, the cable starts to come out from where the seal is on the door. Only have 2 working windows right now (driver front and rear...

    Interior lighting issue

    Didn’t even cross my mind that it could be something to do with my faulty rear swing gate handle. The rear handle sometimes sticks and doesn’t always open the swing gate. I’ll look into getting a new handle to see if that solves the problem. Any idea about what kind of bulb it is to replace the...

    Interior lighting issue

    I’ve noticed it more while driving with the lights on rather than off. It also doesn’t seem to matter what position the dimmer switch is on.

    Interior lighting issue

    I’ve not had an issue while it’s parked. It only seems to happen while driving. The lights (map, luggage compartment, and cluster) all go on and off a couple times and not all the time it’s very random when it happens.

    Interior lighting issue

    I’m having an issue with the interior lights randomly going on and off while driving my KJ. The dimmer switch doesn’t seem to be the issue as anytime the lights turn on no matter how I adjust the dimmer it doesn’t affect the lights. Also the cluster lights at the temp gauge and the right half of...

    P0420 code and 02 sensors question:

    I too have had a similar issue with my 02 KJ with the same P0420 code appearing. I replaced the downstream O2 sensor on the driver side and the CEL went off for about a month and then came back on. My spark plugs were done about a year and a half ago, I’ve cleaned the IAC as well. Another issue...

    02 3.7 No start

    Perfect. I’ll look into getting a new battery over the weekend. Thanks for all the help.

    02 3.7 No start

    If the Libby won’t even crank with being on a jumper for a while should I start with replacing the battery and see if it will actually start?

    02 3.7 No start

    So after using another car to jump charge my Libby it cranks and will only turn over and start when I step on the accelerator and dies immediately when I release the accelerator. It also had blue exhaust and an almost burnt oil kind of smell to it. It has been almost 3 weeks since it last was...

    02 3.7 No start

    I will try and see if I can get it going using another car to charge the dead Libby battery. Also I’ll see if a battery from another vehicle will work in the Libby to see if it will start with a different battery.

    02 3.7 No start

    Jump starting didn’t even work.
