Hola,
I have some vent visors on my 04 Grand Cherokee Special Edition. There the in-channel vent visors. You are able to open your window when it does rain but only so much before the inside cabin becomes exposed to the elements. If you need me to post you some pictures of my setup, let me know 🙂
Hey Erik (again another Chicago member! 😀 . I think we are taking over! lol)
And i also want to 2nd everything Erik stated in his first post about the success of EricTheCarGuy. I CAN NOT wait to see the new shop in action!
Ugh, i just posted a huge reply but there was an error with the website so ill try again……
What was the exact code when the CEL came on?
If you know the location of the particular shift solenoid at fault, you can disconnect it from its harness and check the solenoid by completing a continuity test and cross referencing those results against factory specs if possible.
If you have access to a bi-directional scantool, they have the ability to activate shift solenoids to help in the aid of diagnosing shift solenoid issues.
I would start myself by checking the integrity of the circuit for the shift solenoid which has the current fault with the use of wiring diagrams and making sure you have good power and grounds.
You also have the option too of putting 12v’s to the shift solenoid and listening for a mechanical action. Again, i would do this unplugged from the rest of the circuit.
Hope this helps.
A solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical energy so im not sure if ‘blown’ would be the right term do use. Did the previous technician working on your vehicle compare the resistance specs against a new solenoid or against factory specs? What about the wiring? Did he check the integrity of the wiring by doing voltage drop tests and such?
Does your speedo needle bounch around at all? You could try using some graphite lube at the back of the speedo where your cable plugs in.
