Grand Cherokee 4WD V8-5.2L VIN Y (1998)
DISCUSSION:
Most door latch related symptoms are caused by improper adjustment of the latch mechanism. Always adjust the latch mechanism prior to attempting any
other repair.
Open the door and loosen the 5/32 in. allen screw through the access hole (See Figure 1).
Operate the outside handle several times to remove any tension from the linkage and tighten the allen screw to 3 Nm (30 in. lbs.). Check the operation of
the door and locks. If the problems still persist, further diagnosis is required.
