- In today's video we tackle a number of common issues on Jeep Grand Cherokee WJs (1999-2004). Specifically:
Blinkers do not work or work intermittently (Blink relay replacement)
Tail lights do not work or work intermittently (Tail light socket replacement)
Heated Seats have failed (Heated Seat Switch Replacement)
We also bang around the yard looking at interesting stuff

@@DEInTheGarage I'm iz smart.
The leather seats in that black WJ were is great shape. I haven't seen seats that clean in a WJ since the early 2000s
I was wondering why they didn't take them myself.
I have fixed that blinker relay by removing the outer cover and resoldering the left-most pin. I resoldered all of them for good measure but the left-most pin was the culprit.
Totally enjoyed the knowledge and humor, but what really made my day was the Shackleton reference.
I gotta go with an XJ as it was my first Jeep. 95 w/ the 4.0 and it had the rare rear pop out windows instead of the solid rear ones. Loved the ol gal!
Not surprisingly, I've had all three of those issues occur in at least one of the WJs.
It took me a few minutes to remember how the issue came up with the blinker relay. It was my daughter's daily driver, and she told me that a couple of times her turn signal wasn't working (she actually pays attention to that stuff!) I tried the turn signals in the driveway and they were fine, took her WJ for a short drive and they were fine, finally decided to daily it myself for a few days (had to trade her another WJ, she wasn't down for the minivan 🤮). Day 4 the turn signals quit working, but intermittently. Whenever they quit, a little slap under the dash just to the left of the steering column and they would start working again. Long story short, after looking up the price of a replacement relay online I headed to the junkyard and for a grand total of 9.99 plus tax we're all good.
Its a 10 minute zero dollar fix just slide the plastic cover back and remelt and dry solder joints with a soldering iron did this on my Australian WJ ten years ago and has worked perfect ever since.
We all appreciate the dangers you guys take to deliver us the best wj fix it videos. Be safe gentleman 😉
Love your attitude
Love my WJ, great tips! Thanks guys!
The 3.5 came from the 300m from early 2000’s...decent engine but infamous for spinning bearings...at least from my experience lol just bought my first jeep last week and it’s a wj...i can’t remember how I discovered the 4.0 is nearly bulletproof but I’ve known for years so I searched high and low for one...I love it and thanks to your videos I was able to tackle ball joints, tie rods and track bar so far! Shocks are next along with “tightening” the steering a bit more lol also thanks to you I know soooo much more! I know what kind of 4x4 i have, what to look out for while shopping and how to keep it running!
Walking around the yard after a snowstorm is one of the most dangerous things one can do haha. Last time I did that I slipped and pinned my knee underneath me so bad that I had to crawl into a vehicle and wait for my knee to stop throbbing lol good times.
A couple years ago we had about 2 feet of snow, decided that a buddy and i would hit up the yard for a few parts. Horrible idea, it was like a huge ice skating ring. Was half way down a row of cars, slipped and tried to catch myself on the bumper of a pickup dumb idea cut the hell out of my hand and pretty much ended my yard search that day. After that, anytime I have to go to a pick a part yard in the winter I bring my Yaktrax boot chains with me, no slipping and sliding at all with them.
Even if I wasn’t into Jeep’s...your narration of “jimmy jamming” stuff, makes this well worth the watch. Rock on bro’s....
Subscribed right away! I just bought my wife a 99 WJ and we’re gonna go fix all these issues! Great vidya!
Great show.
I could spend all day in a u pull yard never know what you gonna see. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
Keep up the awesome content also love the pick n pull videos
nice video helps me out what to get
2 door xj with a 5 speed. My dream xj. Preferably one without a million miles or tons of rust. A combo like that certainly is a rare find around here in central pa
Tough choice between the 2 Door XJ and MJ, but I would have to go with the MJ because . . . wheelbase and i could get a camper shell on the bed of the truck for the storage space.
I always like the U-Pull videos!!
Green Tahoe with tan interior............ahhhhhhhhhh, that’s beautiful. What a nice vehicle. Love that interior. Very functional as well as good looking.
The hilarious part about this video is you are finding all these WJs and they’re all in better shape than mine lol.
I saw that k car last week up there. I was appreciating the thing. Engine in it is a 2.2 or a 2.5 Chrysler designed 4 cylinder. 2.6 Mitsubishi is carbureted, and the carb is on the front. Plus only the 2.2 and 2.5 are angled back, the 2.6 is more upright.
Nice Shackleton reference in the U-pull (at 26:49)!
The engine in that F350 was the 7.5L 460 V8. Great engine, the one in my 88 F250 is still going with 800k on it.
Id love to get a 460 to play with...all of my 70s Fords are 351C
@@T0tenkampf My 72 F250 has a 392. If I recall my 88 F250 was the first year for the 460 to have fuel injection. Plenty of power, just doesn't pass many gas stations...even the new HD's don't get any better fuel economy with 7 more gears LOL.
@@wildbill23c I have a 72 Grand Torino and Ranchero GT and a 73 Ranchero GT...all the 351C-4V of that era came with the large bell housing C6 trans so they could also use the 429/460. The police interceptor 460 is supposed to be really cool. Yeah I hear its really a gas guzzler but can make big power cheaply and loads of torque. Trying to talk my buddy out of his 460 F250HD excab which was the rare one built for only a year or 2 right before the SD came out. Its really nice but only 2WD...still would be fun to restore.
@@T0tenkampf Good luck getting that F250HD LOL. Would definitely be a cool restore. I can't remember what year my mom's Grand Torino was, it was her first car, my dad I guess talked her into selling it, things kind of went downhill from there....he sold it and used the money for drugs and alcohol. Too bad that car isn't here now...with gas prices couldn't afford to drive it though for fun HAHA!!! My 88 F250 has the C6 in it as well. Apparently a great transmission, hasn't given up yet with all the towing I've done with it...I have the transmission fluid/filter changed every 35,000-40,000 miles, and keep up with the 3,000 mile oil/filter change, and make sure stuff gets fixed ASAP on it rather than waiting till the simple stuff becomes a bigger problem. Does need a paint job though LOL....paint is getting pretty thin on the hood and cab roof. Still runs and drives great though for being 34 years old.
I typically have the issue with my left blinker in extreme cold
I hated those stupid light sockets! They gave me so many problems(tickets too) over the years on my '04 WJ including causing a short or something which fried the light control module/computer? I had that replaced and bought me some cool aftermarket lights (VIP MOTO Z infinity black) taillights which use simple plug in play method. It has LEDS also but I haven't connected those. It really updates the look of the truck to 2021 without looking too tacky or gaudy (and I'm picky). Gonna get the new headlight housings next. Cool video!
I bought an 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a blown engine but otherwise great condition, 4wd $500, put the engine from my beat up 2wd, bam, 4wd conversion, cherry red paint job, interior overhaul, and I've got a whole Jeep for spare parts in my back yard
Both of them have blinker relays that are going out. Personally I don't see the point in replacing a part that commonly fails with a used part that also commonly fails. You'll probably get more life out of the new part
We use to race in Syracuse at the fairgrounds on dirt. I know Utica well! Small world
something else to check on the WJ taillight if your light still does not work is that they warp from the heat and you may have to bend up the metal connector so that they make contact again....on my WJ that did not work either....what ended up being the case for me is that the light socket itself (the piece that holds the bulb) was actually broken although it appeared to be perfect....you could actually pull it apart into three pieces....I just used a soldering iron to plastic weld it back together and it worked
I need that front seat to that first WJ you looked at!
i saw it first
I have a Jeep WJ here in France and let me tell you, I would love to be able to scrap some parts at the junk yard but they are basically non existant out there. Nice seeing you having fun man. Love from France
P.S.: She just decided today to not start. I turn the key, everything inside turns on but nothing happened, not even a click from the starter. I have engine codes P0702, P1652 and P1685. I'll check the wires tomorrow. If you have some tips it could be really helpful. But I have the one with the Mercedes 2.7 CRD motor. Dont know if you're familiar with this model
Cheers from the states! I am not too familiar with the 2.7 CRD, but feel free to email us at dandeoffroad@gmai.com if you have any questions. We will do our best to answer
XJ all day long and twice on Sunday.
Wj all day go check out jeep feen'z on RUclips and subscribe
that wire off the coil is probably a tach signal lead for remote start or a gauge
I need a WJ drivers side fender, Maroon, pref Limited. I was using your video to look for one! No inventory on some yards.
I'm with you guys I love going to u pull parts are cheap there
2 door XJ all the way! That was my first vehicle; '86 2-door XJ with the little 2.8L V6. Of course, I'd absolutely want a H.O. 4 litre, model, though, and preferably with a 5-speed manual! 😁
I have a 1991 XJ 2dr with the 4.0 HO 4x4, unfortunately not a manual, I wish. Lol
Great video guys! And I vote Comanche!
Dang would you look at that.... I guess Mopar doesn't skimp on Fasteners when it comes to interior body panels.... I still say you guys have it better at your u-pulls because the tires are still on the vehicle at our U-Pull they take all the tires and wheels off at all of ours so they can charge you a million dollars per tire and rim. I think that their vehicle you got your heated speak switch out of would be a good candidate for an entire interior swap those seats were perfect. Thanks for giving me a mention buddy I appreciate you
Y’all have better looking u pulls then we do down here. My Chevy has 260,000 miles so yeah they can go forever with care and maintenance.
Id take the XJ. It's just class all around. Plus the Dana 44 rear axle I have waiting to swap is off an 89 Comanche so I already got the best part haha!
3.5 was a chrysler and dodge intrepide and concord also the plymouth prowler .
I need those roof rack cross bars 🥲😂
Doug, are there any DIY tips on how to stop transmission from leaking?
The 84 Ford is a bull nose, 80 to 86. 86 was the last year for that nose, and first year for fuel injection. 87 to 91 is referred to as brick nose.
Doug thouse were nice seats in that wj. Can I switch out non heated seats for heated? I need a quadratrac II bezel but I am not strong enough to get the shifter off any ideas?
Hey man did you ever do an update review on your boslla headlight led bulbs??? How are they in the fog and snow?
Great vid!!! I have a question for you guys. I had the seat heating elements replaced a few years back and they worked well. But now they work intermittently or take 20+ mins to warm up. The lights on the switches do not turn on all the time. Do you think it would be the switches or the LED? Thanks bros!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
The last WJ you pulled the heated seat switch assembly out of had selec-trac too.
I've been wondering about getting a WJ at some point and haven't decided whether to get quadra-drive or just get the selec-trac and get aftermarket lockers, or go quadra-trac and do a transfer case swap.
selec track is lower maintenance
hope ya went got those tow hooks...
Both driver and passenger heated seats went out about the same time on my 03 WJ Overland. The switches have on/off indicator lights that still illuminate, but no heated seats. What do you think?
The 1996 F350 could have the 7.5 (460) Big Block or 5.8 (351 Windsor) small block .That beefy rear axle is a sterling 10.25 and if he had a 4wd it had a Dana 60 front axle
Sorry for the comments, but I'm just answering the questions lol. The 96 Ford, thats the third nose job they done on that era, that nose ran from 92 to 96. I've probably owned too many vehicles lol
Guys, thanks for the heated seat switch info... On my 2000, both switches light up on low but not on high. Regardless, no heat in either seat. Bummer. Thoughts?
HAHA "well if your fingers are numb then how do they hurt big guy"
I love to watch these videos. You guys are have fun with the junk cars :D I wish I live in the US! At Hungary we have, 200 WJ the whole contry! :( We have hard searching work to find good parts for our cars. But it’s a Jeep thing! :D
Tough decision, but between a 2 dr XJ or a Comanche id still rather have the XJ. Already have a pickup truck so may as well go XJ.
What is the rubber pad on the panel below the ignition switch for?
Hey what motor did that 84 ford have and what you pull yard is this
My Tahoe has about 300k on it still running strong
It's time to hit the pull a part yard
replace the brake light bulbs with led ones that fit and they won't burn out as much
you can add keyless entry by swapping out the door switches on passenger and driver side with a jeep that has it already
also those led fog lights are cheapo walmart ones i seen them before
Does the turning signal relay affect the cruise control?
460 big block or 351 Windsor or 7.3L
Hey Doug, I just bought an ‘04 Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 HO with 68,000 original miles. What should I worry about before I put this in the road?
MY 99 JEEP XJ EATS STARTER RELAYS LIKE M&M'S. STARTING IT WITH A S DRIVER PUT A HOLE IN MY T COOLER LINE JOY!
Can you field test the T/S Relay with a power tool battery?
99-03 wj airbag light. swap it out for a 04 airbag model just match the color of conector
2 door XJ yeah
That poor Chevy pickup was “kneeling before Zod” for sure.... poor old girl
Yes hi I have a question I watch your videos all the time my charcoal canister under my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Does the metal box I guess that it sits in is is not there anymore it's rotted away to where the charcoal canister is just like hanging there what do I do about this I I don't know where to start with this please help thank you
3.5HO i think the 99 300M's was the 1st for the HO 3.5's
Thought I was watching a bolter from AVE with all the common lingo!
I'd love to get an MJ Comanche. An XJ would be ok, but everyone and their dog as a damn XJ, the Comanche's sadly are very far and few between anymore.
I finally got one after 4 years of looking. 4wd, short bed, 6 with an automatic trans. She is cherry. I paid $5700 and it was well worth it. Have real 4wd in the snow was great this last week after all the bad weather. Glad I blasted everything with cosmoline a week after I got it.
MJ short bed with 97+ front clip.
Does anyone know what the biggest wheel spacer you can put on a stock 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
Damnit Eric. Relax
“these dont look like your regular Chinesium” 🤣🤣🤣
So the reason why my heated seats don't work on my limited wj could be because the switch?
Yo I have power to my driver seat but no power to the passenger seat. Where the heckin heck is the other end of the wiring harness from the passenger seat. Does it go all the way to the fuse panel and I’m just chasing a broken wire?
XJ since we're up north, MJ if i was down south
sparkalators? Help me understand... y'all owe Vice Grip Garage a royalty there...lol
The WJ has some things. And those things can be a pain. But I wouldn't trade my WJ for nothing. Gas tank tow strapped up and all lol. My wife's XJ is alright but it's no WJ hahaa.
Hi what do you think of the wk?? Keep jimmy jammin👍
D&E I've got a question on the Evap Canister. How can you get rid of it . I don't care about throwing codes.
Want to email me and we can chat about that? dandoffroad@gmail.com
I would go with a 2 door xj all day as long as it is a 5 speed!
Definitely an MJ....It looks like Eric is about to loose is Coronavirus mask..😂😂👍👍
I feel special
There are no more junk yards in Long Beach, ca.
Can I put heated seats in my wj if she didn’t come with them
All of that wiring was probably for an Amp that was most likely in the back
Funny, the Jeep’s you got parts off look like DEALER lot cars by me!!! Lol Any vehicle near me in a lot is just a skeleton! Picked clean. 😔
2 door XJ, but cut the back off to make a Comanche instead of paying the premium for a real comanche
That ford could be a 4.7 of its a 350 that's the standard for a 350 and an upgraded package for f250
what lot is this at ?
Is the U-Pull $5 for the entry? Or is the $5 per part u pick? (I go to College upstate NY and there’s a U Pull 1/2 hour from me and I own an 02 WJ. Would it be worth it to take the trip?
it’s worth it. mine charges $2, but i’m in new mexico so idk how much they charge for entry up in NY. each part has a different price, like small parts are around $5 and something like a whole axle is around $100. good prices and a good experience
MJ all day
Now is the stuff you pulled out any good?
My 07 Silverado 1500 has 365,000 and going strong, just rusted to hell!
The MJ for me lol
In the news today. The Cherokee vehicle name may be done. Thanks for the day at the Rust Museum. Interesting.
Fn liberals
I’ve got heated seats, but neither work properly, the driver side feels like you spilled a boiling hot coffee down your left leg and the right side is ice cold.
