If it is the interlock cable, I dealt with this problem recently. http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35927 For troubleshooting, the best thing to do is to remove the console. There were about 6 or 8 philips head screws you have to remove. Most everything else pops in and out...

Unfortunately it had just run out of warranty. I have about 37,500 mi on it now. I tried explaining that at the service desk, but got no sympathy. At least it was something that I could replace rather than have a dealer do it. I suspect it would have cost me closer to $400 or more to have a...

Over the weekend, my Jeep had a problem. I had been making a couple trips around town to run some errands. I got back to my brother's house and shut off the Jeep. I started to get out when I realized that my key was stuck in the ignition. It would not turn back to the stop where you can get...

I'm about to have my recall done along with the LBJ recall. Does anybody know exactly where the blower is located? Do they have to pull apart the dash to get to it?

This morning I was able to get up to 35MPH in my neighborhood without the locks activating. This was what I consider a slow steady acceleration. I stopped at a stop sign and then made a right turn onto a major road and accelerated at what I consider a normal pace. The locks immediately locked...

Ah ha!!!! I thought that sometime mine were locking at different speeds. I tried to replicate that today while I was driving around at lunch. Got to be on the gas huh? Ok now I know what variable to play with!

Yeah this is just a single beep, not very loud. I assume my doors lock at 15MPH, but I haven't paid close enough attention to be sure. On my way to work this morning, I didn't hear the beep. Windows were up and radio was off. When it does beep, it sounds like it is coming from the door. I...

Most cars these days automatically lock all the doors once you reach a certain speed. Safety feature I guess. Once I got my 06 I noticed it locked the doors as well. No big deal, every vehicle does it these days. Then after a few months of driving, I noticed I could drive through my...

The switches are setup for the little green lights, but they do not illuminate. I was curious about the same thing on my 06 when I first got it because I had been in various other Mopar products that had the same switches and they did illuminate. Just another case of cost cutting and taking...

I saw something interesting yesterday on the way to work. A silver KJ 4X4 (maybe 03 or 04 model) with a TVA Government tag on it. For a long time TVA purchased pickups and even a few Cherokees, but this was the first Liberty I had seen. IT appeared to have skids on it. I know it at least had...

That's why when I buy a vehicle, we agree on the total price first. I tell them what I am willing to pay total. Then they can go back and figure out what the vehicle price is and how to work the tax and fees in. They take the total amount of money and work backwards from there. About drove...

When I bought my KJ it was slightly used 14K miles. I pulled the carfax on it and it came from some dealer up in TN, although I bought it in AL. On the carfax it listed an oil change as being done at the TN dealer. After I got it home, I crawled under it to look around. I found a 13mm socket...

I thought about installing one, but decided against it. I didn't want the additional drag that might drop my fuel mileage for what little benefit in the rain it would provide. The wiper does an ok job. I also put Rain-X on the back glass and that seems to help too. And I definitely didn't...

I have used BP, Shell, Texaco, Citgo, and Kangaroo. All of these were in North Alabama, but the range between some of them is over 100 miles. In any case, I now know how to fill my Jeep without spilling and making a mess. YMMV.

Just out of curiosity how much power do you need? And what purpose do you need more power for? Are you towing a trailer often with your Liberty? I know my questions sound kind of stupid. I'm just curious because I find that the 3.7L has plenty of torque and horsepower. The acceleration is...

I have found that when filling the tank on my KJ, that it does spill out the top when it's full. I was used to just setting the gas pump wide open and then it would kick off when it thought my tank was full. Not on the Jeep! It would pour it out all over the ground and not kick off. What I...

Anybody else notice that the spare is a compact on the Sport model, fullsize spare is optional? On the Limited fullsize spare is standard. I got this info from AllPar spec sheet. I still find it annoying that the spare is not on the back. And unfortunately because of the rear lift gate, I...

I bought a set of WeatherTech's in December and they were definitely worth it. They don't slide around and they keep all dirt, mud, rocks contained. And they are super easy to clean too. The ribs on them aren't very tall so you would think that your feet would slide around on them because...

I have been using Frams on all kinds of Mopars for the past 15 years and my dad has been using Frams for at least the past 30 years. We have never had an engine failure of any kind from using them. So while Fram may get a bad rap, I think they are excellent filters. Sure there may be better...

I have an 06 Sport with the RBK deck and 6 speakers. Not sure if it's the premium sound system or not. But I find that most of the time when I listen to CDs or the radio my volume is usually set at 18 to 22. It's not overly loud at that level. Then again I'm pretty sure my hearing isn't what...
