I need to remove the OH console on my 99 Grand Cherokee in order to replace maplight parts. I removed the single phillips head screw but would not come off. Am I missing something? Did not want to force it off. push button map lights do not turn off. What is proper way to remove? Thanks.

Inspection on my jeep is looming. The catalytic converter on my 99 XJ is ratteling really bad like a can of marbles shaking and rest of exhaust system is pretty rusted out. I would like to replace the complete system and would like to know the best place to purchase components. I checked out...

Fellow jeep heads: I'm new to this forum but I like what I see!! I'm on my third jeep and think they're one of the better designed american vehicles, but I have problems with my 1999 Grand unlimited. this jeep has the high-end electronic heater/ac control unit and the heater blower motor has a...
