    Hi, I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo 4.0. I just got it and 1) the speedometer don't work but all the other gauges do. Also my ac/heat does not work. When turned on it barely blows. And need advice on most effective emovingway to remove bad odors permanently. Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    a new to you jeep,
    when you start jeep (every start) does the CEL come on for @3 seconds then go out?
    Do you have a scanner ?

    I am suspecting the CEL is on steady - SO take advantage of the free scans at autozone advance auto orielys et al - copy the codes down and post here someone will interpret and advise...


    ac/heat - this is HVAC , need to know which system you have - dials or are there LEDs with temp selections.
    exactly what does not work?
    the blower/fan?
    Cant select air discharge - feet, dash, defrost?
    Cant selsect temp?

    No dont have a scanner. I'm not very car savy sorry. What do you mean by does the cel come on ?

    When I tried turning the cold air on it blew for a slight second then almost died out completely and blew out a funky smell. The car has odors issues so maybe it's from that but in my opinion it was a smoke/mechanical smell.

    I get it back Tuesday and I'll get AutoZone to scan it and post the code. Thanks !

    That would be much appreciated. Thanks you so much. Bc after buying it,fixing 2 new tires, a few body panels and still needing to fix the heater and money's getting thin.

    @Awrench The CEL stays on the whole time I'm driving it. I do not have the digital climate control, just the standard manual controls. The air blew somewhat regular for a few seconds then almost stopped blowing air. It was barely doing anything. There was a funky smell (some from my vehicles odor from sitting so long) but also there seemed to be a electrical smell I guess.
