Hi all, I have a Jeep Cherokee XJ that I bought a few months ago. The registration certificate says it is a 1997 model (Year = 1997). However, decoding the VIN on the internet suggests it is a 1996 model (1J4FJB8S0TL295378 - 10th character is T which is 1996). I need to order a new Crank Position Sensor and they seem to be different parts for 1996 and 1997 models so I am not certain of which one to order. I haven't been able to remove the existing sensor yet as that seems to be an art in itself to connect all the socket extensions in order to reach the bolts...Images of the 1997 sensor look more like the one on my Jeep than the 1996 one. If the VIN suggests 1996, should I assume that is the model year and ignore the registration certificate? Is there anything else about the Jeep that would help me tell which year it is? Thank you.
