It can be repaired, but take into account the condition of the existing window. If it's starting to yellow or shows signs of small cracks or clouding your better off replaing it.

Here's something to try, Locate your horn in the front of the Jeep. Look on the back of the horn, and you will see a little button sticking out. Take a pair of pliers and turn it from side to side. It will loosen the diaphragm. See if the horn works. Hope this helps

Checked the switch on the clutch pedal and the starter relay??

The first thing i would check is the crankshaft position sensor, I have seen the wires for the sensor melt on the exhuast, i would also check the oxygen sensor harnesses for the same concern. shorted sensor wires will cause powertrain control module to shut down.

That is how it tells you that there is a bad bulb in your left side turn signal. Best way to check them is to turn on your hazards look at the front to see if there is one flashing on the right that is not on the left, then do the same with the back. You should see a bulb not working in the left .

Clutch pressure plate fingers are broken, replace clutch.

Draw a rectangle on a piece ao paper. mark the bolt hole positions so this makes sense.
left will be the front of the head looking from the drivers side.
Number the bolts as follows: Row closest to you left to right: 7,3,2,6,10. Row on passenger side, 8,4,1,5,9.
Tightening order is consecutive...12345etc. Tighten all bolts to 22 foot pounds. Use sealer on #7 bolt threads. Next round is at 45# and last round is at 110 pounds except number 7 which is set at 100. I do not recommend re-using the old bolts as some can snap when tightening. I generally wait an hour and then go over tightening sequence one more time (don't forget 7 is different than all others) Always make sure there is no coolant in any of the bolt holes before assembly.

You have to remove the dashboard to install a new heater core.

Check the fuse.

flooded or carburetor busted. or the spark plug in the fourth cylinder. or check the magneto.

Its possible that you haver any misfire code; are you scanned the PCM to know is any fault code is stored there?. Thinkign in the theft or inmobilizer system? Send us additional details.

You have a hydraulic system in that vehicle. If there is a problem, either the master, line or slave cylinder is leaking. You can generally get some pedal back by bleeding but it will quickly disappear unless the faulty component is replaced. Problem may also could be the result of a worn clutch, especially if it is slipping. (You did not mention what it's doing or not doing)
