I realize that sounds like the name of a local country bar band, but unfortunately, it's the only tune my TJ is playing at the moment.
A bit of context: I swapped full doors for new half doors & cloth uppers just to get a feel for them. I took out fuse #4 so the interior lights didn't stay on while I had the doors off. I have since reinstalled the full doors for the remainder of the Northeast winter, as well as fuse #4. In addition, I have:
Here's what I'm thinking, but I could use some advice or someone to check my thinking:
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, and feel free to openly heckle.
A bit of context: I swapped full doors for new half doors & cloth uppers just to get a feel for them. I took out fuse #4 so the interior lights didn't stay on while I had the doors off. I have since reinstalled the full doors for the remainder of the Northeast winter, as well as fuse #4. In addition, I have:
- Two old-school KC fog lights on the A-pillars wired to the battery with a new KC harness & relay
- Two aftermarkets LED fog lights replacing my factory fogs, wired to the factory harness & switch
- Amazon seat heater on drivers side that goes under my seat cover - switch wired through firewall to battery - with fuse
- I am not an electrician and these add-ons are the first I've ever done, though I've had them wired in for over a year
- Prior to fiddling with the doors, the only problem I've had is from leaving the seat heater on overnight and draining the battery
- Advanced Auto Parts' battery checker said "replace battery" - but then the guy tried to hard sell me a battery, which felt a little fishy
Here's what I'm thinking, but I could use some advice or someone to check my thinking:
- Maybe the battery needs replaced because I sucked the life out of it leaving the seat heater on? The battery gauge on the dash is reading well under 13.
- I could suddenly have a draw somewhere and I'll need to buy a decent multimeter to figure out what's what and where
- I probably need to wire the seat heater to the ignition so it shuts off with the Jeep and I don't execute another battery
- Final question: if you watched to the end of the video, you'll hear those two sets of clicks - externally, the turn signals blink in unison, and if the door's open, the "lights on" chime sounds. What is that? It's a new feature I haven't seen from my Jeep since I bought it two years ago.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, and feel free to openly heckle.
