    Twist in coil spring spacers

    Not really a question for solving a problem, just conversation - I was looking for coil spacers and came across a video and some other links for "twist in coil spacers" - they look like little pieces of black licorice. Not the spacer I have for my OME lift that sits on top of the coil, these...

    Removed alarm: Could this cause ignition issues?

    During my replacement of the tumbler, actuator pin, and the ignition switch (all new now) due to power to "dash" but not starting - in a previous thread (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/found-device-under-steering-wheel-shroud.14945/) you all helped me identify a mystery device I found...

    Found Device Under Steering Wheel Shroud

    Preparing to replace the Ignition Switch Actuator Pin over the weekend, I removed the steering wheel shroud and found a small device - some wires plugged in, some not, with two red wires leading to a small red light drilled into the dash - hopefully attached image shows OK - but this link...
