The Jeep went from running fine to not starting. All of the electronic devises work and the head lights are bright. Once the ignition key is turned to start, a single click can be heard from the engine/stater area. I have been told that it is likely the stater solenoid. Some also suggested...

My son's 2005 Jeep Rubicon is at a local 4x4 mechanic to have a leak fixed. It was determined that the rear main seal. The seal was replaced and during the test drive, they noticed that the tranny would not swift out of second gear. I personally drove the Jeep to the mechanic and know that it...

Chris, Thanks for the quick response and the link. The trigger has been pulled and the elves will be delivering two new headlights on Thursday. The price was a nice surprise and will go along way to help us stay within our intended Christmas budget. Jamie

Guys/Gals, My son has a 2005 Rubicon with the factory 7" sealed head lights. He is wanted Santa to bring him some LED Has for Christmas. My goal is to have plug and play and to not spend more than $300.00 if possible? A link to any options that meet my criteria would be greatly appreciated...

The Rubi came back from the shop today running great. It took a new ECU to solve the problem. All good for now. Thanks for your support. Jamie

Thank you. I guess you have to expect these types of things every now and again on an older vehicle. I just want to make sure it will get my son from A to B safely with a little fun riding in between. Jamie

Work has gotten in the way of me pursuing this problem any longer. I found a local mechanic who specializes in Jeeps. The Rubi is on it's way to being whole again. I will post up once the fix is in place. Thanks again for all of your help. Jamie

Thanks all. One of the three codes was P0891 "TCM Power Relay Sense Circuit High", I was thinking this might be that relay. If so, change it out when changing the TCM.

Thanks for Thanks photo JP98 and clarification Frank. I have located the TCM. I also located a trans relay in the fuse/relay panel just in front of the battery. Is this the tranny relay I have heard others talking about either staying open or closed?

Thank you for the responses and encouragement. Any chance you guys have a photo or diagram that shows me where the TCM is located?

I was just on the phone with Compton's Automotive, they are an independent Jeep repair center. After hearing the symptoms and learning of the three codes. Ken is confident that the TCM is the issue. I see from Frank's post above that this is a +/- $1,300.00 item. Is this something that is a...

No worries. Good Luck. Jamie

Ray, Before you go through any more trouble trying to find a wiring diagram, you might want to check the condition of the speaker in the console. Our sub was rattling when we got the Jeep and it was because the speaker materials were deteriorated. Based on the price for a replacement speaker...

JP98, I am realizing now, the question you should have asked me was if I or the person at the Jeep dealership knew how to read the code scanner correctly. I just know saw the numbers up in the right corner. There are actually three codes and before tonight, I did not know how to receive them...

I just took the Rubi up the road and as soon as I pulled out of the driveway, the engine light came on and into the limp mode (second gear) it went. I made a quick stop and then started back home, the engine light was still on, but the tranny started shifting. Then the devil child appeared and...

Chris, As unrelated as they should be, the second that you clear the P0562 low voltage code, the tranny shifts butter smooth. And, as soon as the engine light (code P0562) comes on, the tranny will only move forward in second gear. As crazy as it sounds, one is somehow tied to the other. I...

JP98, As of today (but, the day is still young), we are code free and running fine. As mentioned, my son was telling me that the tranny would just slip out of gear and re-engauge with out him doing anything. All research lead me to get the 12 year old/67k mile tranny serviced. When I picked...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. He is a good kid and we certainly try to be good parents. And yes, the Rubi is a great first car. It beats the heck out of the gold w/ turd brown trim 74 AMC Gremlin I was gifted at 16. With this said, I was glad to get a car of any make, style and/or...

JP - That is the only code. At the moment, the Jeep will only go into second gear with the code not cleared. It is resting in the garage until my wife gets home with the device to clear the code. If another number comes up when I plug in, I will post it to this thread. Thank you for your...

My son's 2005 Rubicon recently has been jumping out of gear and then going back in with no actions by the driver. A bit of research suggested that the automatic transmission fluid needed to be changed (12 years old and 67k miles). I had the transmission serviced this morning at the local Jeep...
