IF you are comfortable using a Volt Ohm meter; I would start by testing the voltages going to both side markers to compare voltages when there is power going to the light bulb sockets. The boxes that are mounted to the inside of the fenders are what remains of the previously installed lighting...

You state you were driving 60 mph on a 4 lane interstate, but exactly did you do when the DW started ? Accelerating, changing lanes, steering correction, light braking ? Tire balance, steering tie rod ends and trac bar bushing/TRE are the most common problems, but the condition of the control...

I believe the part you are offering should be listed in the Jeep Wrangler TJ Classifieds Parts For Sale section on this forum. @Chris https://wranglertjforum.com/forums/parts-for-sale.128/

When my instrument cluster lights and headlights starting having problems I disconnected the wiring harness(s), removed the MFS module and sprayed DeoxIT D5 electrical contact cleaner in the module and cycled the actuation arm and knob multiple times to clean the internal contacts. Waited...

While tracing the wiring; did you inspect the wiring harness from the PCM to the sensors and instrument cluster ? There is a known problem where the wiring harness rubs against the threaded head stud (right rear corner) causing the split wire loom and wiring insulation to wear thru exposing the...

I would suggest you contact Mark at Wranglerfix.com @Wranglerfix is the forums resident ECU expert who has assisted many forum members with resolving ECU problems.

I would look under the dash board and inspect the actuating rod that is attached to the clutch pedal where the actuating rod goes into the clutch master cylinder looking for hydraulic fluid weeping. Remove the cap on the clutch master cylinder and check the fluid level and what is the condition...

This should assist you in troubleshooting your electrical problem.

A four cylinder with a snow plow.... Walk away quickly...

There may be an intermittent problem with a valve generally heard thru the exhaust as a popping sound. I would still perform a compression and leak down test using the test manifold you posted above. That will either rule out or verify there is a problem with the valves or rings.

Suggest you look up the radio model number and google search for the owners manual.

Definitely a snow plow mount... Depending upon how much the Jeep was used for plowing; I would check the condition (RUST) of the frame and mounts.

IF the hood ground is smoking then the path of ground for the starter has transferred to the firewall and hood (hopefully this has not cooked your ECU). As Mac stated above; recheck the battery to block grounding cable wiring for internal oxidation, the stud for good continuity and the stud...

The problem is more than likely a bad alternator, but also could be the ECU not controlling the charging properly. Remove the three 32 pin harness connectors from the ECU and look for oxidation on the pins and clips; reseat the harness connectors. If the problem remains; remove the alternator...

Very nice Jeep. AEV always does quality work and usually comes with a factory warranty.
