Answer 1

#1 the blend door for the drivers side is inop.behind the glove box door(unhook the door stops and fold down)to the left of the opening,you will see a black electric motor.see if it operates when you use the temp controle(drivers)either the motor doesn't work,or the door it operates is broken inside the heater box(common problem)
#2 you need a rear latch assembly( jammed or frozen from rust)
#3 the seat element have an open circuit,they make a repair kit,(dealer item)
#4 the repairs above will dictate how much is left, just get tires!
#5 Its your call,good vehicle,can go a long time.

Answer 2

1. A/C Control Head Bad. Run into that a lot.
2.Liftgate Lock Actuator Defective, Common problem on older Jeeps.
3.There is a recall on that concern. Take it to your local dealership.
4.Factory shocks are very good, but a little expensive. Monroe shocks are a very acceptable and are available at your local parts store. As for tires, I strongly recommend a good Michellin A/T tire. Just not Goodyear.
5.Trading it in is totally up to you. If you like it, then keep it. You don't have to fix it all at once.

Answer 3

1. suspect the climate control head itself
2 the lock actuator is bad
3 the switches have been problematic, if telltales illuminate and power seats check for broken wire[s] under the seat[s]
4 replace shocks with factory ones[aftermarket shocks are generally 10-30% stiffer than original consider Michelin harmony as tire brand [excellent ride and handling] don't expect much off road only fair/good in snow.
5 seven year old truck possibly just paid off, if you fix it it will be much cheaper than a new set of car payments and jeeps do last if taken care of.

Answer 4

You said it on #5. Get rid of it, because it will be very and I mean very expensive to fix!! Better a new car.
