I recently purchased a new key fob and have been locking the car with the remote it still goes beep beep but i realised yesterday it is not locking it when i thought it was.
													
																	1997 xj door wont lock. 
									
	
		
	
																	Ok i know the fact the car goes beep beep when i lock it manually not with a fob means i have a door open more specificly the sensor on my boot latch is gone. 
																	Now i can t open the driver side door at all. 
																	Sharing the name of the original full size sj model but without a traditional body on frame chassis the xj instead featured a light weight unibody design. 
																	1997 2001 jeep cherokee xj. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	I took the inside door panel off as far as i could thinking i could open the door from inside the panel but the connection from thew inside handle the cable is broken back. 
																	Then that broke too. 
																	Watch a tutorial as a 1997 jeep cherokee xj will have a rear door hatch lift gate power lock actuator replaced with a new aftermarket power actuator from e. 
																	Common fault mine has gone on rear passenger door will not lock or unlock check out video on you tube looks like a simple enough job i am just waiting for the weather to warm up before replacing mine auto electrician will charge about 80 to do the job i do not know the part numbers required will just have to go to main dealer i think new door locks are circa 100 but may be wrong sure.
