Thanks so much for this. Mine was simply a blown fuse but would never have known if not for your video!!!
Great video ,wish I had came across it sooner had transmission work done on it and was still having problems , cleaned the fuse box and replaced some that were blown and now it drives great
Jay!!! I was skeptical but I did exactly what your video explained and mine was fixed perfectly!! This is the first time I’ve ever been able to fix anything on a vehicle!😂 thanks to you my jeep is like new again!!!
My mechanic was shocked after I spent $450 for him to pull apart my transmission and change the fluid and check the inside out. All that and nothing. All it took was me to watch your video and 10 minutes under the hood🥳🙌🏻🙌🏻 A huge thank you!!!!
Awesome video bro 💪🏽 I will be trying this
Thank you this worked, all I did was replace the relay and clean my electronics, I was stuck in 1st or 3rd gear when I was in drive.
Hell yeah I'm glad. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and comment.
Do you have a 3.7L?
do you have the part number for the relay? the writing on mine is faded off and i can’t see it
When driving my jeep didn't want to shift out of 2nd gear. Got it home now it won't go into any gear. I put in drive and slammed the gas and it only moved a little bit. Won't go in reverse nothing. Any advice for me?
Thanks for video. These Cherokees are plagued with issues then sold dirt cheap $1,000-1,500. No start issues, numerous dash lights on, etc. My current turd shows loss of signal to tcm after I fixed the no start. I can grab the last connector on pcm while it is running and it will die. I am glad to see I am 1 step closer to getting it sorted out knowing the 4th connector is my weak link. I traded for this turd so all I have in it is my time and new 18 inch $600 wheels off of a Sahara. I hope to sell it for $4,500. I know where I can buy an even better one than mine for $1,000. Most mechanics misdiagnose these Jeeps as bad PCM but they arent bad at all.
Jeeps are turds but they still look good haha.
I haven't tried out what you suggested. But it looks legit.
Bro great tip unfortunately I dropped the valve body before seeing this but I changed the solenoid pack and now my new problem is the pcm so I’m going to have to check that out
Do you have change pcm ??
Great info as I’m going through a won’t go into any gear with and 06 like this.
It does nothing if you put it in gear? If it doesn't move at all not in reverse or drive check your transmission fluid. Also see if it moves when you put it into 4lo if your jeep is awd.
great video i will have to try this out mine skips in and out sometimes its stuck in 3rd and sometimes it dries normal, but you got an amazing deal on that!
Thank you for your comment! I hope it works. Depending on your motor the transmission cable may be on your tcm but if u have a 5.7 your tcm is built into the pcm. I have the 5.7. And hell yeah I did. I just found out today though that my thermostat housing is leaking but it's a slow leak and I already ordered the parts to fix it. Either way still something simple. Which I figured it had a leak before I bought it and took the risk. I've got no other issues.
Is it still working?
@@dangerousfreedom4965 I haven’t tried it out I’m going to attempt to just unhook my battery disconnect the pcm for awhile and re hook it it’s I’ve tried everything else
@@dajeep2672 make sure u swap the eatx relay and check for any busted fuses, and follow your wiring make sure there aren't any shorts.
@@dangerousfreedom4965 still working for me rn. I hope this helps.
Thanks i am going to try it i just got a 07 yesterday and i am having that problem
Definitely worth the few dollars for a relay
Make sure your wheel bearings are in good shape. They will infact put your jeep in limp mode.
Question I get generic transmission 0700 and 0770 solenoid code. I cleaned both the fuse block and the plug( the pcm on my 07 it was the same plug as shown here with the tcm and pcm as one) . the next step is to pull the shifter and clean the board or drop the pan and change the solenoid pac... Your comment got me wondering if I should do the wheel bearings first. As soon as I put it into gear in about 15 seconds it goes into limp mode stuck in 3rd gear. I did notice if I leave it in drive but don't move it will not throw code so maybe it is the wheel bearing after all... What you think ?
@@patricktucker9950 about a year after this video my jeep went into limp mode again. I replaced the shift solenoid with a Mopar one so I wouldn't have to touch it again. Job was easy. There's videos on CZcams. Make sure to replace both filters while you're in there. Get quality filters. I've heard the cheap ones can break down.
Can u help me out with a problem of my car
Good to know thank's
This worked for me mine was stuck in 4th gear tho
You the best
Thank you. I've noticed lately though that after changing the relay my jeep will go about 6 months then it happens again. I've just been replacing the relay because it's got life time warranty and it fixes it every time. I believe it could just be that I'm using a duralast brand relay and jeeps usually don't like duralast but I'm not sure what the difference would be in the design when it comes to a relay. I plan to replace it with a Mopar relay down the road.
I’m try this n the morning mines doing the same thing n I just got it like 2 weeks ago
My jeep has something I cannot fix. It diy suddenly and when I start again it starts and drive normally. However, after dome miles it happened again and so on. The only code show transmetion temperature is high. If I shut it down and start even that code gone. Sometimes all dash lights flashing. Do you know what might be the problem.
Have you checked your transmission fluid levels? Also what's the color of the fluid and how many miles do you have? The fluid could be breaking down. Along with lubrication the fluid also cools your transmission. Sorry this is me just from another acount I have.
Got the same problem do you think cleaning the shifter or changing the relay fixed the problem?
Not sure a number of issues can solve this problem but this is why you try those first 2 because they are the easiest. If that doesn't work it could be the silinoid pack
Just got one with a 4.7 auto
It’s slow to shift into 2nd
Have to push gas down a bit more than I should
Try checking your transmission fluid. If it's low that could be it.
Hello @Jay, I have got a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD , V6 3.o Diesel and i got the same problem. I sent it to a shop to change brake pads and and direction and soon as they gave me back the car i realized that the car was stucking a a shift. When i drive is smotht the carc changes the gear but soon as a press the gas it stucks in one gear. Can you or someone help. One mechanic told me that i should change the TCM another said i have to change the gearbox and there was one that told me that i have to replace the computer geraboc insite the gear box. I did service gearbox already but is not solved. please help...
Idk about the diesel
Thanks for this info. I got the same problem in my 2006 jeep grand cherokee. V8 4.7. Engine. When i put in drive. They show the 3rd on the cluster. And run kind slow. Check engine light on with all the codes you show in your video. So the solution is change that relay and reset the pcm .junction both batery cables together for few minutes?.. ill will do that tomorrow morning. Thanks
This is mainly for the 5.7. the 4.7 doesn't have a EATX relay I don't believe. But you can still try talking apart the shifter cleaning the motherboard, if you have a code for the shift solenoid or pressure sensor you could change those out too but start with the easy stuff first.
@@JayDeeBow yes they have the eatx relay . Im goin to pick n pull right now to bring some relays . Thanks for the video
@@miguelechavez3876 good idea. Might as well grab a shift solenoid and a pressure sensor while you're there out of the transmission so you can get it for cheap. It's pretty easy.
Hi! thanks for your video, I´m sure I´ll make the process soonly. You have another message when yoy recorder the video "service tire press. system" and my WKhave it too; do you know how to recgonize which wheel has the issue? did you fixed it?
2 of my tpms sensors are faulty. I just disabled tpms using the jscan app so it wouldn't keep coming up on my dash. I'll eventually re-enable it when I get new sensors. My jeep is on a 8 inch lift and 35s now I'm just gonna wait till I get new tires/rims.
@@JayDeeBow Thanks! by the way I did the process to clean the circuits , and didn´t work unfortuatelly.
Thanks bro, that just happened to me with the first year gear.got it checked, and I had a few codes of the transmission when I go intot my car, leave the place, the car was working again, so it might be one of those issues that you showed. After you did that to your Jeep, did you take it to get checked again? To see if you had any. Codes?
I did have codes when it was stuck in 3rd gear. But not after I fixed it. But if you look on Google there's a way to check the codes without a reader. I don't remember exactly but I think it's something like turn the key from off to the run position 3 times really fast. Don't start it and it should come up on the odometer with the codes. But if you switch the relay make sure you do the cable thing I said to reset the pcm and discharge any electricity left in the system
Awesome I'll try today thank you. I might clean the gear , circuit
Great video! Have the part number of EATX relay?
No but it's a very basic relay. It's the same design as your ac compressor relay
My 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7l dose not have that relay the place where it belongs is empty so nothing belongs there and I also don’t have the 4th plug on the pcm mine only has 3 and I’m in limp mode stuck in 1st gear code p0743 I changed the whole transmission and have the same problem
This video is for a 5.7. The 3.7 has different wiring. If anything I would try first taking the console out and cleaning the contacts on the circuit board under the shift lever.
I have the same problem
I have 1 wheel staying in park....
When I put it neutral... its still struck
Sounds like you have a locked up wheel not transmission
So i have a 2006 grand cherokee overland 5.7 and mine shifts good but when i turn it on once and i start to drive it then switches to 3rd gear and then i pull over park and turn it off and turn it back on and start driving again and it doesnt switch to 3rd gear for the rest of the trip
Yeah that's normal. But eventually it gets worse and it will stay in limp mode more often until fixed.
@@JayDeeBow do u have any idea what it can be? The jeep dealership said it was the whole transmission
Did that. Not working
This is the some of the guy that did they dry eyes commercial
Any update on how it’s doing?
Haven't had any issues yet.
Did this problem ever happen again after you fixed it, or has it been a perm fix?
So far it's been permanent. Haven't had that issue happen again. Luckily
I have been having issues with my transmission where my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 3.7L Jeep will be stuck in first gear. I noticed that the ETAX relay was not present in my fuse box. I purchased an extra relay to replace the missing ETAX relay which is the same one you show in your video. However, when I tried to install the new ETAX relay, it did not fit in the receptacle. When looking up close I noticed there were not any internal contacts inside the receptacle. Does anyone know why this would be? Maybe the 3.7L doesn't have this relay? Should I be looking somewhere else for a similar relay that could fix the problem?
The EATX relay is specifically only on the 5.7 I believe. With the 5.7 the TCM (transmission control module) is built into the PCM. With your jeep you should have a separate TCM somewhere under the seat I believe but not entirely positive about the location. For you I would start by taking apart your shift knob and if there's any graphite marks clean that up with some Q-tips and rubbing alcohol. Then reset your Pcm by unplugging the battery for a few hours and see if that fixes it. If not then your next course would be changing the transmission pressure sensor and the shift solenoid. If you have any mechanical experience then trust me it's not as difficult as it sounds. The hardest part will actually be trying to drain the transmission pan without making a mess. There are plenty of videos on CZcams on how to do it. Just recently my jeep started getting stuck in third gear again after all this time. I replaced the sensor and the shift solenoid and it fixed it. It took me longer to replace the transmission pressure sensor than it did to take apart the transmission and replace the shift solenoid because there's so much shit in the way of the sensor. It's so difficult to get a socket on the sensor. For the sensor I was getting so pissed off I ended up just dropping the transmission cross member to bring the tranny down a few inches so I could get slightly better access. Also best way to drain the transmission pan is very slowly since there's no drain bolt on the pan. If you're going to open up the transmission I recommend ordering a aftermarket pan with a drain bolt. Worst case if none of that fixes it you may need a new TCM or PCM. I would save those last 2 for last as they are the most expensive. Last thing, if you replace the shift solenoid please make sure you get a Mopar one so you never have to touch it again and change both filters while you're in there.
Have you pulled a U0103 code? Lost Communication with Gear Shift Control Module A??
No but have you tried taking apart the console and cleaning the contacts under the shift lever? That's a common issue that can cause a lot of transmission issues with these jeeps. There's a few yt videos in it out there.
@@JayDeeBow و
I have that error code lost communication with eSm have changed shifter same
Problem
I have and my car has no check engine light but I get no communication to electronic shifter what can I do am now a month into this issue pls help
hey my car stuck in 1st gear in is in limp mode i changed the trans thinking it was that but nothing still the same
Sorry I have a few different youtube accounts haven't checked this one in a while. Are you still having this issue?
Same here I changed out transmission and switched its memory chip to new tranny but will not go above 35mph. What am I doing wrong?
Im not getting any codes by the way
@@maddnuz doesn't sound like a transmission issue. Does It shift gears fine or does it slip while trying to switch gears. Maybe check if you have a clogged catalytic converter maybe?
@@maddnuz I don't know everything about grand cherokees. If you had any issues with a cherokee XJ I'd be more help there. Im more familiar with xjs. But I had a gf. Her cat was clogged and her car wouldt go over 35 and was super slow and low power. We took the cat off and it it was running like it should so check that out. Sometimes you can test if your cats are working properly with a temperature gun too. Look up bleepinjeep's catalytic converter video. It's for a XJ but it should apply to any car for the most part.
Hey y'all I have a 2008 jeep Cherokee, idk if this may help my situation .But when I'm driving at 50 and up it like my truck struggles to maintain speed and boggs down and jolts a couple times then finally gets back up to pace where I can drive without it struggling. its caught me off guard a few times with the jolts.. its also thrown my ABS and traction and 1 more light on my dash..but it doesn't throw codes eveytime.. I was told codes were being thrown from a bad cv joint which I just had replaced along with rear shocks on Monday but it's still happening ..is this considered being stuck in and out of a gear ? This just started happening last month..
Mine actually does this on rare occasions. All the same lights come on but it only does it when I make a sharp turn and really step on the gas then I regain power after a few seconds. I don't know the cause of this but it's not the transmission. When your transmission is stuck in gear you'll see what gear it's stuck in on the cluster.
I would just type on your symptoms on Google and check every forum for answers
Did the red bolt light on ?
What?
I was asking if the red bolt from dash light up
The person who sold it punchin the air right now lhh
Hey my 3.7 2006 jeep Cherokee Laredo stays stuck in 3 Rd gear and the speedometer don't work what issue would that be?
I don't know the exact fix for your issue but I would check every fuse for the stuck in 3rd gear issue try taking apart the console and cleaning the contacts underneath the shift lever. There's videos on CZcams about cleaning the shift lever. It's got contacts that will short the way its designed. You just clean it with some alcohol and cotton swabs.
@@JayDeeBow in order to work I gotta keep reseting the car so every morning I have to disconnect the battery to reset it and it starts working good. I'll check on that though hope it works
@@johnhernandez7545 please let me know how it goes. Also check your relays on the cap it should say which relay is for what. If one seems related to your issues replace it. I have a 5.7 the 3.7s wiring is a bit different there's no eatx relay I believe.
What kind of spray did you use pal?
Electrical cleaner
@@JayDeeBow any brand?
Also it's not a bad idea to use some dielectric greese on your pcm plugs to prevent corrosion and moisture from getting in
@@ibrahimacikbas8633 and nah brand doesn't matter.

Wait did it solve it ?
Yes for about a year the relay fixed it then the issue came back and was intermittent. I eventually had to drop the transmission pan and replaced the shift solenoid and both filters. It was a easy job. There's plenty of CZcams videos online. If you have a 5.7 then you'll have the 545RFE transmission which can be found in multiple dodge vehicles as well. Anyway if you end up replacing the solenoid make sure you go with Mopar so you don't have to touch it again in the future. I would start with cheapest fixes first and work your way up. What can cause this issue are the following, Eatx relay, shifter having dirty contacts, shift solenoid, dirty transmission filters, or pressure sensor switches(I believe our transmission has 2 of them. I only replaced one of them when I did the solenoid as well since I have a code for it.)
Didn’t work for me…what else could be wrong
Is zip tying them necessary? Or can I just tuck them away?
@@JustdoitYwait you want them to contact each other so it discharges any electricity left in the system and it will reset the pcm. If try that too. And obviously replace the relay if you didn't. I replaced the relay first and it did nothing until I unhooked the wires and made them touch for about 45mins or a few hours I don't remember.
@@JustdoitYwait also try cleaning the motherboard under the shifter there's videos out there for that.
@@JustdoitYwait if all fails it could be your silinoid pack
My grand jeep Cherokee is stuck in park
Does the shift lever not move? Or it moves but nothing happens?
