I'm probably gonna catch heat for this, but I'm really just trying to help out, so hopefully not.

As great as reddit and social media can be sometimes, if you're really wanting to deep dive into how to repair, diagnose, modify, etc., a lot of you guys really need to check out the forums. Cherokee forum, NAXJA, and Jeep forum to name a few.

There's a mix of good and bad info, just like anywhere else... But there's a lot of gold in forums that many of you are missing out on. For instance, FSMs, TSBs, wiring diagrams, and how-to write-ups.

I've been seeing a lot of questions from, most likely new owners, than have been asked and answered ad-nauseum on here (and on the forums), and a lot of them are easily answered by downloading the FSM or at least wiring diagram for the year of your Jeep.

Not trying to bust any balls here or belittle anyone for not knowing anything... Just trying to share some knowledge that's worth its weight in gold.

So without further ado, check out:

Cherokeeforum.com

NAXJA.ORG

Jeepforum.com (/forums/jeep-cherokee-comanche-forums.114/ for the XJ and MJ section).

And also, Cruiser54.com (<--- this last one isn't a forum, it's known as the "renix Bible" created by the late, great Pete "Cruiser54" Rushbrook... there's mostly renix-era how-tos, but Fred some info in there that applies to all years.

My wife and I are united in solidarity. Our youngest will be home schooled (His name is Burley and he's non-verbal autistic).

Just had to share a proud dad moment with the rest of you degenerates.

My son Jordan is graduating high school with honors the end of this month. Also, having completed 4 years of automotive light repair class during his time in high school, he's not only received his entry level ASE certifications in HVAC and maintenance and light repair, he's also been accepted to UNOH in their UNOH-performance automotive program.

Jordan's dream since he was a kid was to drive a monster truck. He finally realized, due to the amount of noise, that probably wasn't a reality (the hearing protection inside a helmet isn't quite autism-spec). He learned about the program, and that Monster Jam is one of the program sponsors, and decided if he couldn't drive one, he could at least work on them.

Being a dad of a child with autism (actually 2..the other one is non-verbal) has its challenges, and it's heart-wrenching moments. I've always done everything I can to facilitate his dreams, but also keep his dreams based in reality. The rest has been all him.

Can't tell you guys how proud I am of him.
