Hi Everyone I'm new to this forum and apologies for the long thread.
Some small history first, I have bought what I believe to be a 2007 Jeep Liberty 3.7 automatic (could be 2006?) and its not performing how it should. I currently work in Egypt and getting any sound advice is proving very difficult.
Here are the problems I am having so any advice would be appreciated (except give it back as that is not an option
)
I have had this car in the workshop for the mechanic to fix on numerous times and I am still no further with the core problem -
1/ VIN number - DA4GL48K874046887 I believe is a local Egyptian number that cannot be deciphered (even by people in USA). This car I now believe is a CKD (Complete Knock Down) which I understand is a car imported in box form and assembled here in Egypt which saves on import tax, I attach below what I have found online for the VIN (if this helps anybody)
1/ My dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree (pretty much all warning light are on)
2/ Cruise/Speed Control does not work
3/ ABS does not work (as far as I can tell if I break had wheels lock and it skids to a halt)
4/ Engine Service light on
5/ ESP (electronic stability program) not working
6/ Tyre pressure light on
7/ Air sensor on exhaust not working in fact no wire are present just cut off the sensor?
These are the serious issues and the mechanic tells me I need a new ECU/PCU as the unit is installed is not the correct one and this is why all the faults and cruise/speed control are not working so he has used his scanner and cancelled all these faults to turn all the dash warning lights off. I am not convinced this is the case, the unit he tells me I need is (Chrysler S/N P56052 803AB Motorola S/N 803AA).
I believe this car has been been messed with in the past and to keep it running have used any spare parts they could get their hands on hacked the wiring and made it work somehow.
Any questions I would be happy to answer with my limited knowledge.
If any body has any insight into how to resolve this or might know a place where I can get this ECU/PCU I would appreciate any help you can give, Main dealer is not an option here.
Thanking you in advance
