1999 Jeep Cherokee with no oil pressure when warm or when idling?
when i start my Jeep the oil pressure is a little lower than normal, as it warms the pressure drops, eventually to zero and the check guages light comes on. When I accelerate the check guages light shuts off and the pressure rises slightly, only a little bit! I have plenty of oil, and I had it changed 3000 miles ago. What is my Jeeps problem?

Re: Front end rubbing sound [grizzlymidge]
Hey GrizzlyMidge, I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo & just recently have started to have the same exact problem as yours & 99jeep. The driver's side tire makes a persistent "whining" noise whenever I hit 20+ mph, so it is quite an annoying thing to deal with when driving through town. I had just brought it in to the dealer I bought it from, and he thought it was ... Read More

Re: 1999 jeep grand cherokee front noise problem [99jeep]
My neighbor just went through this last summer on her '00 Limited. I thought her mechanics were trying to take her for a ride, but it turns out the pinion and carrier bearings were shot. While they had it apart, they changed the axle bearings as well. It fixed her problem. Seems like her bill was right at $600 as well. Good luck.

Re: 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo [xscout]
One other thing. I don't know where the temperature sensor for the fan is located, but if it is in the radiator area the radiator itself would not get hot if the thermostat was not opening even if the engine was overheating. You can always remove the thermostat just to verify you are getting good coolant circulation.

Re: 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo [goggie]
Since you said the fan works if you jump a hot wire to it, the manual mentions only two other things. Check the 40 amp fuse in the power distribution center (engine compartment) and the ones in the interior fuse panel. There is also a relay located at the right front of the Jeep directly under the head lamp assembly. If all these check out, you are into "black box" territory ... Read More

Re: 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo [xscout]
no, the jeep is not hot, but it gets hot very quickly and the fan does not come on.

Re: 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo [goggie]
Is the Jeep hot when you are starting it? The electric fan is thermostatically controlled and only turns on when the coolant temperature requires it.

You started the Jeep, heard a "pop", the check engine light came on and now it's running rough??? You probably have a blown head gasket.

Re: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo - Low Coolant [bluesun99]
Thanks for your email. I will definetly keep that in mind, because coincidently just this morning, I went to start the car and also turned on the heater (low) and it made a popping sound and then the check engine light came on and stayed on. I was able to drive it but it drove rough and jumpy. I will have to check it out later today. If you have any ... Read More

Re: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo - Low Coolant [jcampion]
I had a similar problem on my 2002 GC Limited. A slow but continual loss of coolant. It wasn't a water pump problem. I have the split system for heating and cooling. Drivers side would warm up okay but the passenger stayed cold. A test revealed that the passenger heater core had a slow leak. I never smelled fluid nor did the carpet get wet. Core replacement fixed the problem. Just ... Read More

Re: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo - Low Coolant [jcampion]
"Both times I was told the water pump needed to be replaced when the "low coolant" light came on." I've never heard this. However, when a water pump goes out, many times it will start leaking coolant and will cause the light to come on. Just because the light comes on, doesn't mean the pump is bad. You could have a leak elsewhere. Have your mechanic pressure test the cooling system. ... Read More

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo - Low Coolant
I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo which I inherited from my son. My son replaced the water pump once before giving it to me. I have had to replacae the water pump twice. Both times I was told the water pump needed to be replaced when the "low coolant" light came on. Now the low coolant light is coming on again. It seems like every two years we have ... Read More

Re: 1999 Jeep Cherokee [klfoley]
What are the reasons you have been given for overheating? If the auxillary fan doesn't come on without the A/C then find out why. If it does overheats with the aux.fan on then I'd suspect the radiator internals are partly plugged or have corrosion that impedes heat transfer. It could be a water pump that doesn't pump enough coolant but I'd bet on plugged radiator.

1999 Jeep Cherokee
I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport and the ac fan rarely comes on so in the heat the Jeep will overheat. I can not use the AC or it will cause the car to overheat but if I leave the ac off I have no problems. I have been given every reason why this could happen from many different mechanics. Could this be the thermostat or the blower itself. Someone ... Read More
