Help Crank Position Sensor for 89 Cherokee LTD

The bulbs are at the car parts store down on the corner. The Crank Position Sensor is in the same place, but behnid the counter. Most auto parts stores are on line these days, I use Kragen, Advance Auto - aka AutoZone - and my favorite, NAPA. NAPA does not have the best prices around, but if you need a part, they have a catalog that shows it.

The bulbs can be found by looking them up, or by removing them and matching them up.

Right. And unless he's someplace _really_ remote the shipping cost is going to more than make his time on the road worth the trip to the store.

Advance Auto is the same company as AutoZone? I've got one of each at either end of town, each less than 3 years old.

I *think* they are the same. I have AutoZone in my neighborhood that has Advance Auto on some of its stuff hanging in the store, and Advance on the trucks that bring in more stuff. I could be wrong on that, but I was thinking that I saw on NASCAR that Advance and AutoZone are one and the same. I tend to have few too many beers while watching NASCAR on TV, so I could be confised.

I looked on napaonline.com, and I couldn't find the CPS either.

oreillys has them for the tj's!

I am sorry Oreillys didnt have them it was Autozone..I bought one last week for one of my Jeeps and paid about 80 Bucks

Hi Jeff:

Thanks for your note.

Where would I look the bulbs up? I've looked all over the place and can't find a spec for the dash bulbs. I want to replace all of the bulbs at once, and I don't want to take the dash off to find the bulb type because then I won't have a way to go to pick up the replacements.

Hi 94:

Yea, I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks for your note.

Ask as the parts counter. They'll look it up for you. My local AutoZone doesn't even have paper catalogs hanging in the electrical, filter or wiper sections, everything is one the computer.

I have a copy scanned or photoed from my owners manual of all the lights I could email you if you would like.

I got interested in this question and poked around a bit. AutoZone (NYSE: AZO) and Advance Auto (NYSE: AAP) are seperate, competing companies. AZ bills itself as the larger, AA as second largest. I agree, they do tend to stock their shelves with the same stuff, I suspect that it is "low-bidder syndrome" -- their car radio section confirm that thought. Here's an article on the growth of auto parts retailers in the US:

AutoZone (and perhaps others, I dunno) does do one thing that I think is pretty clever: They've got a contract with FedEx that uses them to move their stock around, instead of owning a dedicated fleet of trucks.

Your talking about the dash lights for the gauges etc?.. I'll take a look at my spare cluster tomorrow to see if any of the bulbs still have their number.
