Hello all. Im having issues finding a short that is making my front right window intermittently not operate. I was wondering if i could buy the manual regulators and swap them in and then drill a hole for the handle. Any thoughts?
Hello all. Im having issues finding a short that is making my front right window intermittently not operate. I was wondering if i could buy the manual regulators and swap them in and then drill a hole for the handle. Any thoughts? Its for a 1994 zj laredo 5.2
wish i could help, ive never heard of manual windows for ZJ's.. in face the post JM made is the first ive ever heard of ZJ's ever being made with them.
What have you done so far to track down your electrical issue ?
I replaced the front passenger motor and regulator. Then i traced the wiring harnesses to the door hinges and found no issues. Im going to do the same on the driver side
I even have trouble with the switch on the passenger door. Im confused to where the problem could be. I ordered a new passenger switch. Im thinking of ordering a the master as well. I know these trucks could be electrical nightmares lol
If the master switch is bad.. Just FYI none of the windows will work.. I had this issue with my moms 4.0.. I replaced the main switch and the windows all worked
As has been said, the only ZJ with manual windows was the lowest-end model from 1993 and 1994. In 93 it was called the Base, and in 94 the designation changed to the SE. It sold poorly and you'll be incredibly lucky to find an example now.
The SE trim level continued into 1995, but that's no good to you because it gained standard power locks and power windows. From 1996 the SE designation was dropped, and the Laredo - which was previously the mid-level trim option for the ZJ - became the base level.
silly how they even put manual windows on a 90's vehicle.. Who would honestly buy that, even to save costs... Stupid car manufacturers... Even the old wagoneers and cherokee's had electric windows for crying out, unless you had one from the 60's..
Its like how some newer base cars today they dont even have cruise control... My neighbors 2012 or whatever dodge nitro... Doesnt have cruise... LOL seriously ?

It seemed weird to me that my 2005 KJ Limited had power windows that were one-shot down, but not one-shot up. As if one-shot both ways was too much of a premium option... when it had been standard on every other vehicle I'd driven since about 1986...
Anything manual eventually wears out your body.. Heck we talked about this with air tools lol. My wrists are killing me because i dont have air tools, and i often love to use a manual screw driver vs my drills for some odd reason. People who drive manual transmissions after time get bad knees, and just saying manual windows well lol
Depends on how well you take care of your body. If you eat like **** it causes inflammation and carrying a ton of useless weight around taxes everything from joints to organs.
I've never used air tools and when I wrenched almost daily I had a grip that could crush. I'm 41 and feel great. But I eat clean, lift weights regularly, and try not to booze too much. I've been driving a manual for most of my life and can still sprint, squat, and deadlift with no knee problems. Just learn to take care of yourself and you will have a long mobile life.
Autos have become more popular in the UK over the last 10 years or so - in any given year, about 25% of new cars sold will be auto. But you're right, pushing a clutch pedal isn't a major issue for knee wear. There's far more wear and tear applied just by walking around, especially if one is overweight.
See thats the problem with modern manual transmissions, too many gears! On an old 4 speed you only have three gears worth using, so once you get moving top gear is only two clutches away. One if you skip third.
These new 6 and 7 speeds are just more than you need, got us working too hard.
It's a standard H bottom 4 then switch to high range then 1st is now 5th and so on. What makes it an 18 speed is all 9 forward gears and 1 reverse can be split (like half gears) so 1, 1.5, 2 2.5 and so on.
So you have an H pattern, and then a range split and then a gear split. So you have two "sets" of gears and some or all of them are split into low and hi.
For a 13 speed starting out you're in low range, no split, shift into 1st, then 2nd, then 3rd, then 4th, then you hit the range split and shift back to where 1st should be which is now 5th, then hit the split for 5hi, then split down and shift for 6lo, then split for 6hi, split and shift for 7lo, then 7hi, split and shift for 8lo, then 8hi.
Add a low forward gear thats lower than 1st and two speeds of reverse and you have a 13 speed.
You don't have to use all of the clutch for every shift, and most trucks have a clutch brake to get rolling.
Yeah what kg said. I don't clutch for up shift or down shift. When up shifting I pull it from 1st let the rpm drop 300 rpm and it slide into gear. Down shift let's say from 8 to 7 (no split) I bring the rpm to 1000 and bring the rpm up to 1500 and it slides into 7th.
Recently I've been you tubing a 15 speed and I got to say it's a bit confusing lol.
