    Another heater blend door issue

    There are two blend doors in the unit, one directly connected to the blend door actuator and the other is linked to the first blend door. I have an 03 liberty that was blowing cold air a few years back and I started by replacing the actuator, then cutting a hole in the front of the A/C by the...

    sudden transmission issue

    I had placed additional fluid in the transmission and it worked fine for few days and then it started having issues again. Because I didn't see any leaks on the ground below the jeep, I didn't think a "leak" was the issue. When I went to the transmission shop, I was very low on fluid and I...

    sudden transmission issue

    So I took the Renegade to a trusted transmission shop today and it turns out the oil cooler line is leaking pretty good. I felt kind of foolish as there were no drippings under the jeep at all but when he looked under just past the front bumper, you could see the all the leaking fluid. So now...

    sudden transmission issue

    there is the shift lever next the drivers seat to engage the four-wheel drive. The "Part-Time" light on the dash would come on periodically even though the Part-Time four-wheel was not engaged. From what I read, this was the effect of a faulty switch accessible at the top of the transmission...

    sudden transmission issue

    I've turned the wheel while reversing out of my driveway with no effect and was able to put in drive and move forward. It was only after making a turn (left or right) that transmission disengages. Probably best just to take to shop.

    Renegade A/C Condenser different than non-Renegade Liberty?

    I'll give the dealer a call. I actually own three KJs. one 2003 and two 05 Renegades and both Renegades have the exact same A/C Condenser vs. the 03 Liberty. I just called an online dealer, gave him my vin and he gave me the OEM part number 5183560AC which is the same part number I ordered...

    Renegade A/C Condenser different than non-Renegade Liberty?

    No, though my initial thought was that RockAuto sent the wrong part because the OEM product number referenced for the Dorman Condenser was not correct but the actual dorman part shipped contained the correct Dorman part number. As I said earlier, the new Condenser would fit perfectly in my 2003...

    Renegade A/C Condenser different than non-Renegade Liberty?

    Is the A/C Condenser for 05 Liberty Renegade (3.7 L) different from non-Renegade Jeeps? I'm cannot seem to find an A/C condenser that will fit/replace my original condenser on my 05 Renegade version Liberty. My A/C compressor recently failed on my 05 Jeep Liberty Renegade so I pulled a...

    Exhaust/oil smell in cabin when engine gets up to temperature

    I replaced my driver side cat on my 03 Liberty sport and when i'm at a stop I start getting an exhaust smell that I believe is leaking out of the clamp connection between the exhaust manifold and the top of the cat. This connection has that special u-shaped clamp that mates the flared lipped...

    I have a 03 Liberty Sport and 05 Liberty Renegade (with sunroof). I upgraded the 03 with an EVIC i pulled from a junkyard and it works great. A little later I found and pulled what I thought was an EVIC from an 04 Liberty from the junk yard for the 05 Renegade. I wired and installed and then...

    The dreaded "No Heat"

    I am puzzled to my no heat issue too. my 03 KJ was blowing lukewarm air. I backflushed the heater core twice and was able to get a little heat for a short period and then it went back to barely warm. the vehicle was not overheating or had any leaks so I assumed the no-heat issue was water...

    added two KJs (05 and 03) within last 6 months

    You are the man!!! my wife thinks I'm a little crazy but having one make having two easier as there is no learning curve when doing your own wrenching. I have two 5 series BMWs (2000, 2005) and their repair boards, like this one, are great places to pick up some great diy tips.
