My new 97 GCL has some issues. I recently bought a 97 GCL with 160,000 miles on it and i freaking love this thing. It has a 4.0 liter i-6, and is awesome. But i would like to fix a few things on it.:grinyes:

1. The heated leather seats dont work.:disappoin
2. It stutters a bit after first take off the it doesn't do it again, till the next start-up
3. IT takes a while to start (crank on it forever)
4. MY ABS light occasionally comes after driving for a while.:screwy:
5. The VIC displays COOLANT SENSOR BAD and REAR LAMP FAILURE:banghead:
6. THe A/C will not charge and it is not very cold, the compressor comes on goes off comes on goes off (Auto Climate control):banghead:

1)There is a wire in the seats that goes to the heating pad that is known for breaking.

2)&3) might be a crank sensor problem

4) Need a scantool to pull the abs codes.

5)Check the sensor connecton on the coolant overflow tank.

6) could be a plugged orface tube and more then likely a warnout compressor due to the mileage on the jeep

The wire for the seats. Is that in the actual seats or underneath?
Crank sensor, or possiblly the TPS
Where could i get a scantool or have it scanned?
Orface tube Where could i look for that?
thanks in advance

There is a gasket I am told that connects to the fuel pump that can cause the pressure to drain off the reason for the long cranking before starting up. I have the all same issues, except no heated seats on a '94. Coolant sensor I was thinking it may also be related to the RLF message and might be a bad ground? Not sure still trying to figure out the RLF, I now have code 52 popping up that started yesterday. I know why my ABS light stays on, somebody that owned it before I did ripped the rear wheel sensors out when the ripped all the parking brake hardware out.
