HI. the firing order is posted below.

no it doesnt ... check out heatertreaters.net if you have to replace the blend doors .... but the actuator is directly behind the glove box...remove the glove box take out 3 screws and remove actuator and replace.....waa laa

Could be the coolant temp sensor:



4.0L engine shown





5.2L engine shown



To test it:

Perform this test on a cold or cool engine.

1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
   
2. Unplug the electrical wiring from the sending unit.
   
3. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminal and the sending unit's metal body
   
   1. Infinite resistance or zero resistance: the sending unit is bad, replace the sender with a new one.
      
   2. Other than infinite or zero resistance: continue test.
      
4. Remove the temperature sender from the engine.
   
5. Position the sending unit so the metal shaft (opposite end from the electrical connectors) is in a pot of water. Make sure that the electrical connector is not submerged and only the tip of the sending unit's body is in the water.
   
6. Heat the pot of water at a medium rate. While the water is warming, continue to measure the resistance of the terminal and the metal body of the sending unit:
   
   1. As the water warms up, the resistance goes down in a steady manner: the sending unit is good.
      
   2. As the water warms up, the resistance does not change or changes in erratic jumps: the sender is bad, replace it with a new one.
      
7. Install the good or new sending unit into the engine, then connect the negative battery cable.
   

1. With the engine cold, remove the ECT sensor.
   
2. Immerse the tip of the sensor in container of water.
   
3. Connect a digital ohmmeter to the two terminals of the sensor.
   
4. Using a calibrated thermometer, compare the resistance of the sensor to the temperature of the water. Refer to the sensor resistance illustration.
   
5. Repeat the test at two other temperature points, heating or cooling the water as necessary.
   
6. If the sensor does not meet specification, it must be replaced.
   

Submerge the end of the temperature sensor in cold or hot water and check resistance



Temperature-to-resistance relationship of the ECT and MAT sensors

I also have one 93 GC 5.2L V8 (great SUV); check in the rear center of the engine, between the distributor and the firewall...



Also, its possible that yu are interesting in the Jeep 1993-1998 ZJ Grand Cherokee (english)

Hope help with this (remember rated this help).

Let me guess you are having your Vehicle Information Center flash and chime "SERVICE 4WD SWITCH"? I have the same problem with my 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee and after much research I have discovered that the 4WD switch usually is not the problem but instead it is the VIC. From model years 94-98 the VIC ribbon wire is faulty in the VIC itself next time the message pops up tap the front of your VIC and see if it stops the message and chiming. If it does you need to repair or replace your VIC (new from dealership is about $600 - $800 depending on your location and their markup).

As for the location of the 4WD sensor it is located on top of the Transfer Case. It is awkward and difficult to get to.(the switch that is) Crawl under the drivers side of the Vehicle just behind the Drivers door there are three different sensors located on and around the transfer case the one you are looking for is located on top of the transfer case near your 4WD linkage it will have four wires going to the clip but in truth only two of those four wires are actually hooked up.(the extra wires and which ones are hooked up depend on your model of transfer case which you can find out by looking at the identification plate riveted to the back of the transfer case itself. You will need the model number when requesting the part. Unless your particular 4WD switch has Vacuum Lines running to it which you will be able to see) In total there are three different cases associated with the 95 model year Jeep Grand Cherokee. You should be able to identify the switch easily enough. There is another switch that is easier to get to located between the transfer case and the forward drive shaft THAT IS NOT THE 4WD SWITCH and the Speedo is located as the farthest back sensor on the transfer case just before the rear drive shaft. Sometimes just changing the fluid in your transfer case will be enough to get rid of that annoying message on your VIC.

As for my Jeep adding fluid did help a little bit but my VIC took a dump. I replaced it with one from the junkyard for $125 bucks no problems since. There is a way to repair the VIC by removing the front bezel carefully and then removing the 4 screws that hold it in place carefully pull it out of your center console and then disconnect the wire harness from it (disconnect your battery first) then remove the six torque screws from the back of the VIC unit and carefully pull the front face from the back piece you will see a ribbon wire not unlike what is in a computer and then shining a light into the spaces where the ribbon goes to the face look carefully at the solder points if any of them seem discolored or missing (they should look shiny and completely cover the wire they are placed on) just carefully add some solder to these points and put it back together again when you are finished reconnect the wire harness and replace it in the console then reattach your battery and start the vehicle it should work like new. (in my case i lost my temper with it before discovering this simple fix and broke the clear plastic front leaving me with no other choice but to replace it)

I hope this information helps!

Jacking points on all Jeep vehicles

Your Jeep was supplied with a jack for emergency road repairs. This jack is fine for changing a flat tire or other short-term procedures not requiring you to go beneath the vehicle. Do not attempt to use the jack on any portions of the vehicle other than specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Always block the diagonally opposite wheel when using a jack.

Placing a floor jack under the front frame rail

Placing a floor jack under the rear frame rail at the leaf spring shackle. It may be necessary to place a block of wood between the frame rail and the jack

Supporting the front of the vehicle with jack stands placed under each frame rail

A more convenient way of jacking is the use of a garage or floor jack. You may use the floor jack at the specified points in following the illustrations.

Never place the jack under the radiator, engine or transmission components. Severe and expensive damage will result when the jack is raised. Additionally, never jack under the floorpan or bodywork; the metal will deform

Support the rear of the vehicle using jack stands placed underneath each side of the rear differential (inset photo)

Here is a diagram of your fuse panel

Hi Tom:
According with the this specific electrical section from the Repair Manual, it is located on the passenger side fuse panel, position 25, 30AMP.



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

#1 solution for this is to " BUY A GM PRODUCT" & save your money on costly repairs of these chrysler & JEEP (amc) vehicles!
