Well... It is a mopar reman and the seller had a lot of good comments... So... If the electric shop finds nothing I will proceed with the guarantee process
... But two solenoid packs with the same failure making the same effect on my jeep sounds suspicious... Like the failure being somewhere else... I dunno...
I installed my WranglerFix PCM with "stock" tune in January 2021.
My jeep passed the California emissions test in March 2021 and again in March 2023.
I obtained the WranglerFix Performance Tune in April 2024. My jeep is not due for an emissions test until March 2025.
I'll let you know what happens.
Alternator not sure... I have 5 years with my rig and I'd never have changed it... My battery is like one year old, yesterday I checked it with the autozone scanner and it showed that the battery was almost new... Like 90% of its life...
A good battery doesn’t mean a good connection to the electrical, or good grounds.
It doesn't matter how good your battery is if the connections to it are bad. I would focus on the low voltage code. A low voltage to the pcm could trigger all sorts of false errors.
Determine if your pcm is actually seeing low voltage. If it is, fixing that could fix everything. If not, you have a bad pcm.
And a bad ground could look like low voltage at the pcm

I agree and would look elsewhere for now, but it's not guaranteed to not be the problem. I'm just throwing that reminder in the mix especially since it's not truly new.
Yes sir, my comment was pointed towards folks who would like to get the answer sooner than March of 2025. Could be nice to have the info on the forum for CARB folks, and last I knew, it wasn't an expensive test.
It's fallout from the diesel tuning crackdown by the feds. Bright side is you just keep a spare stock pcm.
OP
So a guy stops Picasso on the street and wants a painting.
He does a beauty in 10 minutes.
Guy asked “how much ?”
Picasso said “$500.00”
He has a fit. “Why that only took you 10 minutes!”
Picasso said “ No, it took me 30 years to master doing that in 10 minutes”
Good on you for giving value for the bill. He now has a Jeep he can drive. That is worth something.
OP
Update.... The electrician is not sure if he will be able to fix it without pulling the engine or transmission out due to the location of the pinched wire..... And... Obviously... We haven't confirmed that this cable was actually the issue of my shifting problems...
This is a good start man
I’d like to think you can splice in a fix without fully removing the engine/trans.
I don’t know our rigs as well as others…would you be willing to take a photo of the damaged area from further away?
If you can’t fix it in the current position maybe you’ll be good after dropping the Tran’s down some after removing the skid/cross member.

OP
Have any of you guys ever done new plugs and noticed a slight power increase and crispness then after a few days you get used to it?
My gain was like 2-3 times that, nothing outrageous, but enough power it sounds throaty at idle and you notice it every time you drive it.
Very hard to verbalize or quantify by us average joes.
I genuinely think some Jeeps run better, and not all owners will notice equal gains.
A healthy guy doesn’t feel the vitamin shot like the guy who needs it more.

This is the best I got right now...This is a good start man

All good man. I was just trying to see the area more in hopes that you could make enough slack to repair the wire. Let us know how things go and best of luck with the repair.
I know I would start by trying to drop the transmission down as far as I could, letting the engine mounts flex. It does get tight up around the firewall...that harness goes over top of the transmission. You might also look at pulling the center console and the transmission plate. You might be able to get at it from the top.
Final update.... After the wiring was fixed my tranny came back to normal... The issue was in the harness that goes to the tranny above the starter... Not sure if you can see the fixed wiring in the picture... According to the electrician, since the wires were burnt and messed up.. The PCM beingn tosted was almost a guarantee... So... After $650 from the new PCM, the $80 for the reman mopar Solenoid pack, $100 filter and fluids.. $70 for the tranny shop and $70 for the Electric shop.... My jeep was fixed.... And... Since I got the jeep the O/D was a bit crazy.. It turned off and on when it wanted... Not only when I selected... That issue was fixed as well... Not sure if because of the new PCM or if because the wiring being fixed... But... So far the jeep handles better than before...
