Airbag Light and Others

Postby mytronic » Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:39 pm

Hi All
Have just purchased a 2001 Cherokee Sport, new shape. Seems to have just developed a fault or two.
Hopefully it's a easy fix. Also, what is it's model designation (Jap Import)

1. Airbag light comes on intermittently, but seems more on than off.
2. I think the Radiator Fan shuts down and doesn't come back on , thus overheats. Very intermittent, traveled 250KM then wham boil over.
3. A grinding noise from rear when I turn left or right at low speed. Can not see anything rubbing. Kinda sounds like tires rubbing on plastic but its not.

Was all good when I bought it yesterday

Looking forward to suggestions :)

I traded it 2 months ago on a Nissan, thought it was what I wanted, but we are not doing much in the club so hence a change in direction. Maybe later I will get a tough truck again. I really like the Nissan , just Love Jeeps more haha

Nah, she's a light weight, maybe, Not too sure how she will handle what I trow at it. But if a Suzuki can do it I can. Wanted the fun factor back with a Petrol 3.7L V6 . My old Cherokee with the 4.0 Straight Six was worn out. Was told to sell from 2 mechanics. To be honest it had been swimming upto the air vents, rolled and she still kept going, but was never quite right.

It was Liberty in US, but Cherokee in other markets.

Air bag light might be because of clockspring in the steering. Does your horn work all the time? No horn, air bag light on will be worn clockspring.

Ok, so the Horn is good every time , the light is only just glowing not full on (or perhaps that is normal)
