electrical

We are having an electrical problem where lights, wipers, horns and other accessories turn on and won’t stop when we unlock the Jeep. We’ve had the wiring looked at and some redone but it keeps happening when we lock and then unlock the door. Sometimes the engines runs and won’t shut off as all...

Hello Folks, new member here with a question I'm hoping someone can shed light on. Brief introducion: I picked up a '98 TJ a few months ago and have been working through neglect-related problems for a few months now. Replaced all the suspension components, new body mounts (after ditching the...

I couldn't find anything else on the forum with a similar list of symptoms to what my Jeep is going through, so I figured I'd post. I hope this is obvious for someone smarter than I am I was driving from south Dallas to north Dallas when this happened: First sign I noticed was "check gauges"...

I’m having a frustrating problem that I THINK is likely electrical. This is a very consistent (intermittent) problem. (Stick with me) 1999 TJ 4.0 Auto Cold - ALWAYS starts, no problem. Once at normal operating temp, and running, it will run all day with NO problem at all. In between, I...

So I'm starting my first repair on the Jeep, and of course it would be an electrical issue ...wonderful... Anywho, I've learned how to read wiring diagrams, so that's cool. Let's see if Im doing it right: My left fender corner bulb does not turn on for anything. I know that the bulb...

I have a 2002 Jeep TJ SE that has been reliable for me for years. I started having starting issues a couple of months ago and after replacing my starter, battery cables, and an attempt at replacing my multifunction switch pigtail connector, it is still not starting! I have followed some advice...

Good evening, everybody. I recently (last week) purchased a 2006 Jeep Wrangler 65th anniversary edition with 90k miles. I wanted a jeep ever since I was a kid and saw Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman cruising together in Days of Thunder and I’ve been reading this forum since I got the jeep for tips...

Hey guys, I'm not seeing a thread dedicated to electrical safety. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise post up! The point of this thread is how to protect your equipment from damage, your Jeep from catching fire, and your passengers from injury. I'll start. Fuses: Fuses are your friends. They...

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...
