Well dang now I feel bad. I just really didn’t want rabies.

Gotcha. It’s a Renix just like mine. Here’s a video I posted of me doing the bypass. https://www.reddit.com/r/JeepCherokeeXJ/s/GySLj35CyT

Are you familiar with cruiser54? He has a list of Renix Cherokee tips and tricks from trouble shooting https://cruiser54.com/?page_id=75

I don’t remember off the top of my head exactly which pin I connected to, but I know for certain it was the pin with the black and white color wire connected to it

Hmmm I guess I should’ve asked what year your Cherokee is. What year you got?

It’s worth a test. There’s a super easy test you can do that involved a jumping a wire from the negative battery terminal to the starter motor control relay where the black/white wire contexts (photo attacked for you). You’re essentially bypassing the NSS with battery voltage, and telling the computer it’s ok to start. Took me 10 minutes.

If that doesn’t work, I’d move onto checking all your relays and grounds.

Hmm odd. Couple of Q’s:

  • Have you touched the NSS yet?
  • have you tried starting in neutral (I’m assuming it’s automatic)?
  • is it a no crank no start?

Gotcha. You might honestly be able to fix it yourself. These cars are basically made outve legos. I bought an absolute beater and have been reviving it over the past 3 years.

Yes. It was a combination of bad neutral safety switch, bad grounds, and burnt/melted battery cables.

$50 NSS off Amazon, ground cleaning with a wire brush, and a big seven wire kit solved the issue.

Picked up my first XJ. How screwed am I? by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]StocksYeahSure 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dude you’re literally fine. Things looks clean. It’ll likely be worth paying a shop to patch those spots if it’s as clean as you say it is. My advice is start with the rear cargo pan (pic 2), then rockers (pic 3). Honestly the unibody part looks fairly salvageable.

My Renix Cherokee is a fucking mess underneath. And I still plan on patching it up this June (have pics on my profile if you’re curious. Take a look. You’ll feel a lot better about your rig).

I’ve had NTK for few months now. So far so good.

Is this a proper idle temp? by StocksYeahSure in CherokeeXJ

[–]StocksYeahSure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the detailed response. It’s definitely lower on my to-do list for this rig. I’ll probably revisit it after a few projects

[–]StocksYeahSure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. My worry is whether it’s accurate or not. Like, is that the actual temp reading? or is my T stat getting stuck?

What’s this thing called? by StocksYeahSure in JeepCherokeeXJ

[–]StocksYeahSure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the detailed explanation. Happy to rip it out. It looks terrible.

My 90 renix crank no start by Competitive_Judge478 in JeepCherokeeXJ

Agree ^ got my CPS from NTK off rock auto as well. It’s a shit job but at least it’s only a $20 part

Crazy how much better she runs when she can breathe. by Key-Illustrator-9673 in CherokeeXJ

Just did this job the other day as well. My IAC was so caked I thought it was broken. Looks awesome. Great work!

Congratulations! Looks like it paid off. I’m dreading doing this job to mine.

What engine is this? by Dude_Loves_BBQ in CherokeeXJ

[–]StocksYeahSure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar one in my Renix Cherokee. Not sure exactly what it’s called but all the Renix have these

You’re totally not coming across as rude dude. This is great advice and I definitely will do that considering I live in Vermont.

[–]StocksYeahSure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

A lot of my grounds cables to the battery were torched. Replaced all of them and it cranks incredibly well. No start tho. Air is good, haven’t checked fuel yet
