Once again, thanks for the help. For what it is worth, the switch was about $88.00 and was very easy to install. To anyone who has tried to unplug some of the connectors, remember there is a locking tab that must slide out before it can be unplugged. I am sure that a lot of people are aware of...

In my last request for help, you guys solved my problem with the water in the passenger side floor. When I first discovered the water problem is was because the fog lights were on and no one had been in the car. When I opened the door is was like a steam bath inside because of the water and...

You guys are the greatest! I finally found the drain and yes it was completely clogged. When I finally was able to clear the obstruction, about 2 cups of water and gunk came out. Thanks again to everyone for the help.

I must be an idiot. I cannot find any shorkel tube. Below the vent on the top there is a oval shaped plastic piece but I cannot find or locate the outlet. Help!! Although we have a lot of trees, the car is not parked directly under any of them. Once again, where is the drain hose located on the...

My son has a 03 Wrangler and is away a college and the car has had to sit out in what was a very wet spring here in the Chicago area. Yesterday my wife said that the fog lights were on. When I went out to check the car and opened the door it was like a steam bath inside. After jigling the light...

I just returned from the dealership with the car. The original steering box was put back in the car and there were no charges. They further admitted that unfortunately they mis-diagnoised the problem. At the present time the tight steering is all but gone? This seamed to be an "exercise in...

Steelheadz, They did not say that the airbag needed to be replaced, just the clockspring. Realistically, I think they are trying to make up the difference from the screw-up on the steering box and an attempt to get more money. There was never an issue with the steering column. I guess a lot of...

Will it never end? I just received a phone call from the Chrysler dealership saying that the problem is not in the steering gear but rather in my steering column. There is supposedly a bad bearing. They want to replace it along with the "clock spring" which is used in conjunction with the air...

I have check both lines for any sort of kink or bend. Nothing. There is no abrasion anywhere. Could the problem be inside the line? Since it is a pressure line it is hard to understand how something could restrict it without any external sign.

I just posted an update on my steering problem with the 2002 Jeep. It was not the steering box as the Chrysler dealership had said! They did replace the steering box but it was a little worse that it was when I took the car in for evaluation. Back to square one.

I'm back! I went to pick up the Jeep at my wonderful Chrysler dealership and paid the $1,151.00 bill. When the service manager brought the car around he asked me what I had brought the car in for. Now keep in mind he is the one who wrote up the order. Much to my surprise and after being...

I did carefully mark the gearbox and made small adjustments, in both directions, to see if there was any difference. No cigar! With everyones help and after trying about everything that I could possibly do, the decision was made to take the Jeep to the Chrylser garage for evaluation. After...

I tried to adjust the steering box, but with little effect. I will try to disconnect the drag link from the pitman arm and check the results. Is it too much to ask that things be a little easier sometimes?

The belt is tight and the tensioner seams to be operating correctly. I will check out the u-joints but have my doubts. Once again, this was not a gradual happening but rather appeared when we got back in the car. Help! Unfortunatley, unless someone can solve this problem, I must take it to the...

The fluid seamed to be fine. I replace the power steering resivore with new fluid but did not change the steering box fluid. I also removed the check valve a made sure that it was all clean and the small vent hole in the piston was clear. No problems. The steering is tight all the time and when...
