@shanewiliamjohnson I would definitely take it to a shop. There they will have all the proper machinery to do all the correct tests and refill procedures. It may cost a little more, but it's better to go ahead and do it the right way.

Thanks for your efforts. Good video

So far your instructions have made it very easy. That dang cable under the steering wheel at 9:35 which seems to have disconnected easily for you is giving me a really hard fight! **the key has to be in the ignition to pull this cable out I just figured it out**

Nice detailed vid! I feel for you, lol! I’m trying to figure out what is directly behind the ashtray hole, a harness or duct work? I’m in need of placing (2)3/8” long screws through mine(just a cubby/no ashtray as mine isn’t the V8 model) to mount a bracket to hold my communications radio face plate. The screws will be low in the cubby maybe 1/2” up from the bottom of the cubby. I don’t need to be putting any screws through a harness!

Any thoughts on how to fix a non working parking brake? Mine looks like yours, 2003 jeep.grand cherokee inline 6 4.0l limited with all the upgrades from factory. I've put around 5-6k into replacing what feels like everything at this point and I found out recently that it'd cost 1100 to replace the whole ac system; I've also got the drivers window and passenger windows to fix still aswell.
