After further investigation it was discovered that the wires and the resistor had both been charred and melted. Not only do i no longer have any heat or a/c but i also no longer have a window defroster and this poses a serious safety issue to myself, any passengers i may have and as well to other…

Several months ago, i get a quack sound when the door lock/unlock is activated. Initially both locks worked then the rear passenger door doesn't lock but unlocks and the driver's passenger door doesn't unlock but locks. I did a search and found this: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/jeep-grand-cherokee/tlmudaeofdb3ht8fc page where people are having the same issues. Apparently it is a problem with my 2000 laredo that…

Engine shuts off while driving. Very dangerous to shift to neutral, while rolling, and try to restart with key. Must come to a complete stop and shift to park to restart. Not so bad if you can get to the side of the road first, terrible if you have to stop in the travel lanes to restart car. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes to get vehicle started again. *tr

Initial happening driving a safe speed and car completely shuts down. Was able to restart and drove to nearest station...which started a series of pcm replacements. I now understand that there are not new pcm's that can be installed. Nothing but refurbished ones, so each time i'm getting someone else's problems. Maybe not the original one i had but eventually another one comes up...where the car completely shuts…

The two back doors will intermittently not unlock with the key remote (very frustrating!) the left back door window will stop going up and down and we are told by the one that repaired it that the wires for all of that is running through the drivers side door hinge from…

The hvac system on our 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited has broken and is unable to direct air at the proper temperature to the proper places. The defect appears to be related to electronically controlled dampers in the ductwork that have failed. This prevents our defroster from working as effectively as it should and is also an irritant to the driver when it's 110 degrees outside in the texas heat. Googling the…
