    A/C Compressor only works when jumped...

    Jumping the compressor how? You note that you replaced the pressure switch. If the low pressure switch is not satisfied, you get no power to the clutch magnet. I would put a jumper at the low switch and see if the compressor engages. If it did - A: Freon is still a might too low. B: New...

    Gas cap message

    Why change the fuel pump if you are not having trouble here? No replaceable fuel filter exists.

    Gas cap message

    The only way you stand a hope of finding this leak is by doing a smoke test. A message that fast indicates a larger leak and should show up easily with smoke. A few decent you tubes aboutmaking your own cheap version.

    Rusted E16 external torx bolts for wheel bearing.

    Occasionally, you can get an e-torx out with a similar sized 6 point socket. Might have to go SAE if a metric will not fit. 6 point only, impact (heavy wall) preferred. Just did this on my sister’s cruze. Did not have the right e-bit so improvised this.

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Bendix - i didnt say that bc no one knows what it is !! A sticky bendix will either / not engage, do all you hear is a whirr. Or will not disenegage / centrifugal force throws it home once the engine rpm is faster that starter. If it does not disengage , your jeep sounds like a thrashing machine.

    ABS module rebuild

    Before your guy jumps to bad abs module, he needs to thoroughly diagnose this issue. That christmas tree of dash lights can indicate any number of faults. My 06 did this and needed a wheel speed sensor. The fact that a power cycle of the key cleared it up indicates that it most likely is not...

    Someone please help me

    Dash gauge lies. It is no-where near accurate. Follow KJOwner’s post and get it checked for combustion gas in the coolant reservoir. A Head gasket failure can put combustion gas in the cooling space. Can alternately allow coolant into the engine, and into the crankcase. Pull your dipstick...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    ?? Key to start - starter cranks Key released to run - starter still runs, or , starter stops Off - all stop. I am confused on step 2 - when you release the key from start to run - if the starter is still engaged, most likely a bad ignition switch.

    Suggestions for A/C clutch?

    Maybe one of the shims got mislaid and the new plate did not have the correct air-gap. I lost one real thin one on my 06 and had to make do with a brass washer from a brake hose kit.

    That annoying warning bell/chime

    Yup - 6 - I am conservative when it comes to repair. Not much on firing the parts cannon without knowing what i need. I will test the issue until i know for sure. It could also be the evap can. I do the smoke because it is very obvious and tests the whole messy ststem in one go.

    That annoying warning bell/chime

    Hey @RussellG - I suggest for the gas cap message that you (or your mechanic) do a smoke test on the evap system. Just because the code shows gas cap does not necessarily mean it. It points you in the direction that the system itself needs attention - something as simple as a cracked...

    Help plz

    When dealing with a computer controlled system, I hate to say it, but you are not going to be able to outsmart the computer easily. If it were old school - up to mid 80’s - Yes, but with an ECU - no easy way. It wants to see all that input from sensors to decide if and how to run.
