@@dragonball7454 Yes, it does. I don't know what genius was working in their design department, but a lot of the changes they made starting with the '05 model year made the Liberty so much worse.
I also have an 05 liberty. Thanks to this video, I was able to get the pump replaced. I was just driving when suddenly the gas pedal wouldn't make the car go anymore. I then took the key out and only got a crank with no start. Saved me about $400 by doing it at home rather than taking it to a mechanic
I’m trying to replace my fuel filter right now on my 2005 Liberty Limited 6 cyl, where was yours located? What filter did you buy? I’m having a hard time coming up with info...
Thank you. I have gotten other information that it’s unserviceable and in the fuel door area, but when my friend was under the car, he thought it looked like it was there.
This is an everyday issue in Venezuela, as the gasoline imported is so dirty and often sold mixed with water.. thanks for the video I’ll do it myself this time 💪🏼
Sigh my fuel line that goes from the top of that assembly to the main line failed and I can't find where to buy a replacement. It's I need the short pice on the high pressure side with the quick connects.
Hey my gas tank fell off while driving damaging the gas tank. While Replacing the gas tank would this be a similar process as you described in the video. If not it would be greatly appreciated for you to maybe list the new process.
Different years have the access in the cargo area. But you have to rip apart the interior. Is it worth it? Probably not since it is really easy to lower the fuel tank anyway. The first time I replaced the fuel pump I checked for the cargo access for my 2005 Jeep Liberty. It wasn't there. I could cut a hole in the cargo area, but that doesn't make a lot of sense (spark + fuel = bad) when it is only 4 bolts to lower the fuel tank. Also it will let fuel drip on the inside. Again doesn't make a lot of sense even if you have the access panel. But to each their own. According to the Factory Service Manual.. "This vehicle may or may not be equipped with an access plate. This plate is located on floorpan inside vehicle at rear cargo area (Fig. 20). If not equipped with an access plate, the fuel tank must first be lowered to gain access to fuel pump module. If equipped with an access plate, fuel tank removal will not be necessary for fuel pump module removal. Access is from rear cargo area." So the whole fuel access panel seems to be a hit or miss with the jeep liberty. Goodluck with your repair.
Go to www.1aauto.com/ or www.rockauto.com - Its pretty self explanatory on their website on how to search for the parts. Just checkout and you'll be good to go.
Very informative video sir. Thank you. Not being snarky here but I don't think I'm capable or equipped to do that job. My wife said she'll just deal with her 2005 Jeep Liberty not starting when it's hot. No way do I mean to insult you sir. But the liberty is a real piece of crap. I am so sorry I have one. All the windows fell down into the doors. And it's 100s to repair EACH ONE. So the windows in her Liberty are all held up with suction cups. In South Florida we never open our windows anyway from the heat. And she has a sunpass for the tolls. God what a POS the liberty is.
I have an '05 and an '06. They've been fairly reliable, but only because I'm a bit obsessive with maintenance. They are definitely pieces of crap. Much as I love having a Jeep, I wouldn't ever buy another one regardless of the model, especially now that Jeeps are basically just oversized Fiats.
I totally agree a very piss poor design by Chrysler Corporation, Jeep should be ashamed to have replaced the previous Cherokee XJ from 1984 to 2001 which was bulletproof to this wanna be Jeep.
I’ve actually been pretty impressed with my ‘02 Liberty, 178,000 miles, only 1 power window failure (easy fix) and other minor ones. Guess I got lucky.
you forgot a few steps. Like releasing pressure. And completely cleaning out the fuel tank and discarding the old fuel and replacing it with new fresh fuel. Which is why you probably had to replace your fuel filter a year later.
Considering fuel was a week or two old, that had no impact on needing a new pump. Considering that if I remember correctly you can't release the lines unless there is no pressure in the line ( the line had no pressure, as the reason we were changing it was a dead fuel pump......... ) that too would not affect the necessity for a new fuel pump. Sooo.... not sure where you got your logic.
@@TrevorWing not true. You drain the gas out using a pump. when you by that pump, if you read the instructions it gives you. it tells you that. and tells you why. You also supposed to clean your tank. just simply putting fresh gas in doesn't mean anything if your gas can is full of junk and stuff floating on the bottom of the tank. But do what you want. I however do not want to repeat of the same thing for a while if I don't have to.
@@dragonball7454 I'm not sure what you bought that gave you instructions.. we certainly didn't get any. Fuel pumps do have filters on it for a reason though... This video was shot probably 6 months to a year before I ever edited and uploaded. The jeep has had 30k-40k miles on it since the new pump was put in. Didn't 'clean' the tank. Sometimes products from china just are duds. The first fuel pump was as such. We'll be just fine. Thanks for the comments and concerns though.
If the pump is not put back facing the same direction as it came out the float can get stuck, it can also cause stress damage to the fuel lines and electrical connectors.
Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Some models of the Liberties don't have the compartment. How do I know? I checked prior to dropping the fuel tank. I took off the interior trim, pulled up the rear carpet. Nothing. No access point. This was a 2005 Jeep Liberty. From doing research it seems that the earlier models (2002-2003) may have had the fuel pump door in the rear.
Poor video tbh. Normally for work like this, people are looking on how to do it... Not just an explanation. I'm just saying, even though I'm already a mechanic... But just a word of advice
I thought it was crap too,there is normally more than one way to skin cat ! I googled"fuel punp access " low and behold. Cat skinned in about and hour at most.
Only 2002 thru 2004 have removable covers.
Damn. that sucks
@@dragonball7454 Yes, it does. I don't know what genius was working in their design department, but a lot of the changes they made starting with the '05 model year made the Liberty so much worse.
All of them don't have the access panel. I have a 2004 Columbia Edition and it does not have the panel.
My 2004 Renegade doesnt have the removable access panel, plus mine has 3 fuel lines going to the fuel tank.
05 has a removable cover. Jus did one
My 2002 and 2003 there is a panel in the rear under the carpet. No need to drop the tank.
I also have an 05 liberty. Thanks to this video, I was able to get the pump replaced. I was just driving when suddenly the gas pedal wouldn't make the car go anymore. I then took the key out and only got a crank with no start. Saved me about $400 by doing it at home rather than taking it to a mechanic

what year and size engine is your jeep Liberty
what size to mm socket do you need for the bolts holding the fuel tank?
Hey my gas tank fell off while driving damaging the gas tank. While Replacing the gas tank would this be a similar process as you described in the video. If not it would be greatly appreciated for you to maybe list the new process.
Jimmy Feeney absolutely. It isn't much different. You may have to put the fuel pump in it but that is easy
I want to see more detail.
Did you replace the fuel filter too?
The fuel filter only comes for kj 2002/2003. The rest use the filter that comes with the complete gas module
Is this on the front or the back of the Jeep? I have a 2003.
Do you know where I can buy one for a jeep liberty 2004

Why are you removing the tank, remove the rear carpet and there you'll find a plate stuck down, remove this plate and there will be the pump excess..
Not all models have it. This one doesnt.
@@TrevorWing ok
@@1926FORDTROADSTER I was thinking the same thing when the video started. I was like "no no no no NO!" lol
My 2004 Renegade doesnt have the access panel
@@TrevorWing same for 2002?
Thank you!!!!Great video!!
Why didn't you use the access hole under the carpet in the cargo area??? There is no need to drop the tank at all.

What trae its hoy jeep my its 06 n dosen't have the access on top
@@grafitisjunior I don't have one in mine. And I would have known because of the amount of carpet cleaning I had to do. I have a 2007
Only 2002/2003 have the carpet in the cargo area.

The fuel line has a blue button that is depressed to disconnect, no tool required.
Not on this model. You have to have the tool.
My 2004 has the release buttons on the fuel lines

Also why are you using a fuel line disconnect tool if you just push on the tab it's a quick disconnect fuel line there is no tool necessary lol
I did that but it says i have no gas. What should i do. Mine is a dodge nitro 2008

You're something u fixed it last yr.your doing it again. Next year again
Hahaha, so far it’s held up and it’s been what, 2 years since that video.
There is a compartment under the trunk space. This was totally unnecessary.
