If you didn't lose it, then just put a pair of nuts on the end; that will lock them together and allow you to turn i the stud in and out. The existing design (with an etorx) sucks

Sure did. 30 minutes later we pulled out the actuator/switch combo. My daughter said 'Doesn't look broken to me'. I separated the two pieces, a broken actually pin fell on the floor, and she actually cheered because we had a you cause. Replaced both parts and running great. To be clear...

Thank you all! This has been very helpful, as always! After some additional under his diagnosis I determined the starter relay is not receiving any power on crank (intermittently). So I did what I probably should have done to begin with and went back to the beginning. Is turning the key...

Okay, so I could really use some additional help. Here is what I learned today: 1 - There are no codes in the system, confirmed through a diagnostic, not just the odometer 2 - The ASD relay is just fine - The relay itself tested fine and I tried a new one as well. Both tested fine and the...

Thanks all! I'll check the FSM. I know I can jump it with a big wire, but need a permanent diagnosis since I can't have my daughter getting randomly stranded. Actuator pin is a good call - I forgot about that.

Ahh, good point, forgot about the 4L. I'll check that. I still pushed the clutch in (habit) figuring it wouldn't matter if bypassed. I will check this when I get home. Thank you for the reminder!

Hi all - hoping you can provide some diagnostic guidance. No expectation of an exact solution, just confirmation of where I should be looking based on my research. Basic situation: Randomly my 2004 Rubicon 5-speed manual will neither crank nor start. All lights come on in the normal run...

Looks like gobbledy-gook to me, but I haven't used one. Just watching the guy try to do it didn't make sense. Here, find the flat part of your wheel that is parallel to the hub and just hold it there. First, there is no "flat part", and second, holding it there would be a disaster. We're...

In 25 years across multiple different functions and involvements in the automotive industry I've never heard of airbags "going bad". They have had defects and recalls (you can check for open recalls on your VIN here https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls), but the largest one, the major cluster...

The only thing you did was replace bulbs? What did you disassemble to do so? In all likelihood you nicked a couple wires that are now touching and shouldn't be. Could be a coincidence that the multifunction switch went bad at the same time, but I don't believe in coincidences...

You thought he'd put the Jeep in drive? Save the insults - I'm not the one who doesn't understand physics.

Exactly, the first two pulleys are redirects with no change in allowed force (other than directional) and the one at the bumper applies advantage (and directional). You've explained it in terms of line speed, I used force. The point is that line speed is irrelevant; force is what moves...

I completely agree that there is a sideways component to it. That is true most times you winch, but especially in this case where both trees are misaligned with the vehicle. The line died is greater from the front since it is a simple redirect, but the force is doubled on the back due to the...

Your buddy is misinformed. There is no dish or antenna required. It is built into your phone. My Pixel 9, for example, has it directly. Nothing other than the phone in my hand...

You think less of Warn for working with someone to film a video on how to do something that has a multi-page thread on our forum?
