Hello all. I’m lost in the wilderness with my 98 TJ. Had it stored all winter so I could replace some floor pans and fenders. Got everything put together, but no start. There may have been a slim chance that I kept the battery cables attached when I was welding, but highly unlikely. The only way...

So the battery died on me. I was able to get it jumped and went to autozone and got a new one. They said it may need a new alternator since the voltage on the battery wasn’t going up. So I order one off rock auto and put it in Wednesday. Drove it around for about 45 minutes with no issues...

So I was driving my tj home last night, and all of the sudden the check gauges light came on and then the voltage meter dropped to zero. Then 10 seconds later my radio lost all power. Next was the dash lights started to go dim until they went out completely, same with the headlights. They the...

Background: Purchased '06 TJ Unlimited this past September; 108k miles, two previous owners. New Duralast AMG battery in Sept '18, as well as other parts. Had the issue with the MFS/fog lights earlier this week, and had a drained battery overnight after forgetting to use the little turn signal...

Sorry to make a new thread but I didn’t see one that covered this, I have. 2002 wrangler sport and was recently in the passenger side twilight assembly seeing where I could splice in a backup camera wiring harness. After poking around in there and putting everything back together I started up my...

This is a little install guide on a switch I put in several years ago. It works well so I thought I’d share the process and some thoughts on it. I have a hand throttle below the switch visible in the pictures, it doesn’t get in the way Why switch at all? The 42RLE drives much better with the...

Good morning! I've been scouring through the internet for an answer to this issue but can't find any solutions. When I put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position, all my lights and gauges turn on like normal. The only difference is that there is a buzzing sound coming...

So I put in a new radio on Sunday and when I went to drive it Monday morning I found none of my gauges function. The light is on, parking brake and turn signal lights come on, but no gauge functions. Is this a symptom of a failed ignition switch? I think I’ve read that a few times here as going...

Please forgive me if this has already been answered but I have read so much on the internet and I am at my wits end I need help PLEASE! I bought my daughter her dream vehicle.....97 TJ. It has several issues that I feel are all connected. The gauges dont work, airbag light stays on,horn dont...

Hello, I have a 98 TJ Sahara and last night I messed up big time by forgetting to put the top up before I went to bed. It rained inside and now there is a rapid clicking noise in the dash, the airbag light is on, the horn went on and wouldn’t turn off so I had to unplug it, and there was some...

I have an electrical question, for anyone who knows more about electrical than I do. I am a carpenter, and would like to change the factory cord on my Skilsaw to a 50 foot cord, because I like the idea of always having a decently long cord on my circular saw versus having to always hook up an...

I had a weird issue happen earlier today, and can hopefully get some insight from y'all. 2001 TJ with ~75000 miles. No serious mechanical problems before. Was driving today without problems, stopped at a store. When I restarted to leave the store, I noticed a whirring sound. Then noticed...

I went out and purchased my first tj a little over a month ago and the oil pressure gauge just started to act up. I put a new sending unit and harness in it and the oil pressure gauge still doesnt work. It will read 40 psi then just randomly drop to 0. I know I have oil pressure because I hooked...

I am new to this jeep forum and I am seeking help. I own a 1997 TJ wrangler Sport. Inline 6 with an auto trans. I recently had tube fenders installed along with a 20" light bar. When I went to pick up my jeep after everything was all said and done, it would not start. Turn the key over, none of...

I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ. The blower motor will not working. You can feel the cold air coming out of the vents. I have replaced the regulator, all related fuses, checked the resistor(it also will not work on any speed), and I have pulled the blower and hooked it up to a battery to make...

I was looking at re-installing either stock fogs or some 9" LED bars on my front bumper and, to cover all of my bases, decided to make sure the factory wiring was still in place and serviceable. The good news: The driver side plug is still there! The bad news: The passenger side plug was ripped...

I just ordered a new stereo head unit that has a big display and comes with a backup camera. I dont want to mount it behind me as I will never use it so instead I want to mount it right under my front bumper facing the front so I can use it on dry off roading trips to see any obstacles i might...

Seem to have lost tail lights and of course dash lights. Can't seem to find the fuse for this circuit. 05 LJ. Not behind the glove box or the PDC under the hood. o_O
