I don't know where you are in Florida, but this guy....Ray, is good. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7qMMY6UJHpNakTDMz6vVXQ

The keyfob battery is a 3 volt 2032. Do not use 2 x 2016 (6v) P27 user manual.

Hi Bill, RLD will ship the part. https://www.rld-autos.com/fr/joints-moteur/753473-joint-spi-arr-volant-moteur-5066756aa.html

Hiya, That fooled me too when I first got the Jeep. See page 115 of the owners manual. You need to turn the dimmer down one or two clicks from full bright.

MAP sensor. https://www.piecesauto.fr/oenumber/68153918aa.html https://www.auto-doc.fr/facet/2178144 €33.43 Check the number on your own sensor & let me know. I will check the pressure spec of the sensor, which is the most important thing. (There are other sensors that look exactly the same...

Hiya, I'm in France too with a 2007 2.8crd. I suggest you obtain a new MAP sensor & this Facom product. I failed my Controle Technique in August, not for the MAP, which I had already changed but for emissions. From experience, the MAP can get easily clogged up. Blast with carb cleaner before you...

Hiya, I did this repair a couple of years ago. The switches are very cheap. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32815761946.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802tbKk81

Hiya from France, I presume you have a 3.7. This particular post was interesting & after a little searching, I found this. It may be worth a good read in order to solve the problem...

I'm sorry for this late response. Take the various pieces of the top of the shift mechanism off, until you can see the wiring. It isn't that difficult, but be careful with the plastic as it can be very brittle. You will then be able to see the two wires extending from the shift handle. Cut the...

Hiya John, I'm in Montpellier most of the time, 34090, although I have a house in the Lot near Cahors too.....long story. Yes, I eventually understood what you meant about the pulleys :) I was a little tired when I replied to your post. MAP sensor clean is an easy job & should give you a bit...

Hiya John, Happy New Year..now or Bonne année. I too live in France with a French registered ex-UK 2007 2.8crd. I also spent most of my working life in the UK motor trade :) Whereabouts are you? Idler pullies will do nothing to cause the black smoke issue. I see that you have located the...

Hello there, I had the opposite issue, the switch would not select "overdrive off" I cut the two wires from the selector handle & stripped the selector down. It is a very fine cable that feeds this switch. The easy way to solve it is to use a monetary switch attached to the two cut wires.

Hello there, I have the same KJ ...2007 2.8crd & my name is Phil. I think your problem may be the ignition lock actuator. This video is a bit long-winded but he gets there in the end & it's quite useful watching the steps to diagnose. Have a look around the 19th minute. Best of luck, Phil

A lovely job, Ron. Cinq etoiles ***** from France.

Whatever Jeep KJ you settle on, if it is a dealer, ask to see it on a ramp in order to have a good look at the underside structure. It can tell you so much. The one you mentioned is after all, nearly twenty years old.
