My biggest complaint about the factory electrical system (after the shitty battery clamps, that is!) is that all of the sensors rely on the same 5V source signal from the ECU/TIPM. This means that a wiring issue can put you on the hunt for the root cause in places where it isn't. Take a look at...

That's where I'm at. While the connector is a match for the 4-pin on the Jeep, there is no telling how the trailer wiring was done, so they may have used an alternate pin layout on the trailer. Do the lights work again if the trailer is disconnected? I would use an external power source to...

Do you still have and does the center brake light work? On mine, I lost the rear corner lights, but the center still worked. This happened after I jacked around with settings in JSCAN for DTRL and LED fog lamp settings. I could not find a fuse for the brake lights then, and when I reset the...

I also have a to-do list that includes fixing the intermittent wiper function on our 2015. I took out the motor assembly once and didn't see any glaring issues. Re-installing it didn't solve the issue - DUH. A new motor is probably the right answer.

I just happened to locate the post I was trying to reference above... https://wranglerjkforum.net/threads/limp-mode.32181/post-466190

I also found a great deal on 285 BFG KO2 take offs... $500 for all 5 w/ less than 20K miles on them. Sold the originals from our 2015 for $300. Fronts rubbed against the sway bar as pictured, but I solved that by placing a thick washer under the stop bolt on each side. I still need to address...

Amazon. Android unit. Works great. Came with new dash bezel and everything was 100% plug & play. I paid $599,and they are now $499. Their customer service is top notch as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QXPHBMC?tag=jkforum-20

Yes, per my best guess that is correct. The ‘hook’ is only about 25-30% as wide as the contact itself & the sidewall profile of the hole prevents the horizontally-aligned blade from depressing the ‘hook’.

I think pushing a pin extractor or micro-screwdriver into this location will disengage the 'hook' on the pin. Obviously, you'll have to do it for both wires. If you opt to use a screwdriver, I would orient the blade to be vertical, so that the width of the blade does not get hung up on the...

The posts about my repair journey are somewhere in the "what did you do to your JK today" thread. There are just so many that it was difficult to track down the specific one that I was looking for. I Bookmark posts that i find relevant or interesting to me, but I don't bookmark my own.

I’ll say it like this. If he leaves his phone charging from the center console, IT ALONE WILL NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE BATTERY TO DRAIN BELOW THE REQUIRED STARTING VOLTAGE/AMPS. There is another cause in play, such as parasitic drain or an underperforming battery itself.

For those who work with their hands, such as electricians & mechanics, the idea of silicone rings are a blessing, not unlike the buckle-less belts. I can only imagine the mount of crud that will get stuck in the tread of this design though. This isn't a new concept, it's just a new market...

The above is certainly true 'on paper'. I can't imagine anyone leaving their phone (or other USB powered device) plugged into the car battery for more than a few days max. It would take MANY, MANY charge cycles of a phone to drain a good car battery, which means it would have to remain connected...

First, I'll start by saying that while my efforts (and results) might suggest that I possess unique or expert knowledge on the subject, I'll admit to just being mechanically inclined and determined not to spend needlessly for a professional tech to do the same things that I can accomplish myself...

I read somewhere - but of course cannot find evidence of it now - that the center console USB will shut off after a period of time, like 30 or 60 minutes after the ignition is turned off. That being said, even if it isn't correct, there's absolutely ZERO chance that leaving a cell phone plugged...

Never had any flickering, etc. w/ the Sunpie lights.

Turned 162,000 miles today and celebrated with a 5-tire rotation, then an oil change, front & rear diff service, along with a transmission flush.

I’m betting on a wire harness issue similar to what I had to fix on our 2015. Wires at the oil pressure sensor were poorly insulated from the heat & it eventually turned the wire insulation to dust, exposing the conductors to short out at will. It happened randomly & regularly. I also found...

I'd worry about that right before the warranty ends.
