Jeep Cherokee - Overhead Console Teardown Procedure ['97-'01 XJ]

[@sergioacedo1229]

You can just pop the lense with a trim tool you don't have to take off the whole console

[@WAEMIDIV]

I guess that kinda makes the entire video redundant then huh, I didn't try to pop them out- I didn't want to break it

[@christianmichael1970]

WAEMID IV not redundant one bit! I was looking how to take it down to retrim it. There is more to your video than just the bulbs :0) Thanks for sharing.

@@christianmichael1970 Yes, I concur. I was afraid of accidentally breaking this rare part myself. Thank you!

[@99jeepxjguy97]

@@WAEMIDIV Thank you for the outstanding video. I really don't wish to break such a rare part.

[@erikhoeffner]

Indeed, you just pry at the bottoms of the "U" and the lense pop off the half hinges they're attached to.

[@JeffGriffith-k3x]

Sweet! Thanks so much. I’m redoing the headliner not too many videos on removing the bigger console.

I came here from a video of a fan light replacement (i’m a fan collector) but i’m also a huge fan of jeeps and XJ’s and have a 99 XJ 4 door myself. love your XJ, 2 doors are cool as hell

[@WAEMIDIV]

A fan collector and a Jeep guy! Welcome to the channel, here, you can expect occasional uploads of questionable quality and completely random topics, I have no upload schedule nor goal I just kinda put stuff on the internet every now and then

[@noahbones1221]

WAEMID IV lol thanks. and same here lol

[@steveconnolly2693]

same comment. I replaced all bulbs by popping the lens out. they are 2 pieces so take them apart and clean them, change your bulbs and pop the lens back in. spend the money for LEDs and replace the ones up under each foot compartment to. go look. you may not know they were there because they we burned out. super bright interior and safer too. this video did help me because I want to replace the liner on it.

[@marcusalancate1782]

Thamks. The bulbs look a lot like old school glass fuses. Maybe an old fuse puller will work.

[@jeremycanoy3610]

LMAO I’ve been fighting with this for about 15 minutes and all I had to do was pull it forward 😂😂😂. Thank you!!

[@jamesdewer]

Wow a tear down! Where to find the back lights?

[@99jeepxjguy97]

A 2 Door! NICE! Take care of that one. Thank you.

[@gled707]

Super helpful bro. Thanks for the video!

Excellent

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@MorganMoses1]

I’m figuring out how to take it apart to reupholster it any tips or advice?

[@WAEMIDIV]

I wish I had some but I've never attempted to reupholster mine, there may be some forum pages put there

[@xrrtracks]

Very helpful thanks

[@johnhershey4010]

How about the light tour the back hatch.

[@Mirrorism]

Bit late, but the rear is a 578 bulb, 42mm festoon fuse style if you're going LED.

[@johnhershey4010]

@@Mirrorism OK thanks

[@agajohanna428]

but the lenses just pops out... even this girl knows that

[@WAEMIDIV]

Yeah my dumbass just didn't want to break anything. I had to take down the console to fix a shorted wire inside it anyway, and figured I'd make a video

[@agajohanna428]

@@WAEMIDIV all good, was interesting to see cos I want to install one as mine never had one. but, I did replace all my light bulbs with super bright LED, as well as all my dash panel lights. I run a lot of accessories, so any power savings I can get....
