Maintenance manual for 1198 jeep grand Cherokee

SOURCE: Land Rover LR3 versus Jeep Grand Cherokee -- which is overall a better car??

I used to a own jeep grand cherokee but sold it for an LR3. From experience the jeep is somewhat economical over the lr3 in term mpg. Seating in the jeep is a joke, not enough leg room or head room or comfort from daily driving for 3 years. Most of the jeep dashboard is plastic which is essentially price reducing overall to the cost of the car. In terms of the LR3, you have lots of driver and passenger comfort, more suspension features, more capability, however, buttons for certain things are hard to find and need time to remember. Next, LR3's tires need to be replaced once every year, at least since i off-road 4times a month, not much but yea.

Overall the jeep is cheaper and more economical to drive with less comfort. The LR3 is the exact opposite, its more comfortable, more capable on/off road, more better looking, however, it consumes lots and lots of fuel, maintenance can be lot at 30 or 60k. let me put it this way, a jeep grand cherokee is like a bicycle and an LR3 is like a sports bike.

C1 & C2 in your panel are most likely one of the culprits, if no power at heater at seat. Sounds like testing for power at seat switch is easier to do than get at these circuit breakers in the panel. If you have power at switch at seat, then it's not the fuse/circuit breaker. Good reading at this link for you.

I'm going to guess since you didn't mention which fluid...Transmission?
First find out which unit you have (usually an id tag on it somewhere ) Then look up what kind and how much fluid in your owners manual (usually around four quarts...unit holds more but you can't remove it from the pan) Remove all pan bolts and lower pan. (some units have a drain plug, use it first if you have one ) you will see the filter attached to the valve body. remove it and install the new one, Make sure all gasket material is removed from pan and trans. Clean any metal etc from pan and internal magnet (there is always some in there but should not be a ton of it) Then put pan and gasket back. Make sure you can turn each fastener easily to make sure they are not cross threaded and only tighten them after they are all in there. Bolts do not have to be tightened down like they never should be removed again (snug then a little bit more)tighten in an X pattern not a circle.Replace about half of the fluid with car off, then put in remainder while running. Put your foot on the brake and shift to reverse then drive a few times then check fluid level.Low is bad, a tiny bit (less than half inch) over is OK.
Drive for a short ride, check again for leaks and re-tighten if any are found.
If trans was exceptionally dirty and yours has a drain plug, I recommend that you use a generic oil on the first change, then in a week, drain oil again and re-fill with good brand name stuff. and perhaps a bottle of lucas conditioner.
Good luck!

there are specific tests you can run before changing parts...You should show an open circuit with no resistance between b&c connector pins on the crank sensor. (check with ohmeter) You also need to check that you have fuel /spark and test related items. (cps can kill both)
