Problem with 1997 Grand Jeep Cherokee Ltd
« on: August 10, 2008, 10:37:34 PM »
Hi,
I have just bought a 1997 Grand Jeep Cherokee LTD edition and when turning on the ignition this afternoon the instruments do not register (i.e. fuel gauge, temp etc) and the car turns over but only for two revs and then dies. Someone mentioned a possible problem with a common earth (maybe behind the dash) - any help much appreciated!
Cheers

Try disconnecting the battery for a minute to reset the computers.

Cheers will try that as the battery tip doesn't seem to have cured it!
