    What did you do to your JK today?

    I went with GoECM. They were the best price, delivery, and they were the only ones with the lifetime warranty. https://goecm.com/

    What did you do to your JK today?

    ‘Not well’ is the best answer. Following my attempt to repair the issue by replacing the wiper relay, it still didn’t work AND the reverse lights began their nonsense (stayed on 100% of the time regardless of ignition or gear shift position. I sent it out for repair and they were not able to...

    Advice On 2015 Hard Rock

    How to get to gas tank top (fuel pump & evap connectors) in a 2018 Wrangler JKU without dropping the tank

    I avoided this thread for a while to just read the comments. Here’s my take: Cutting a hole in the tub to avoid dropping the tank is a hillbilly approach to getting a replacement pump OUT of a junked car. Even they drop the tank on the one they’re keeping. Buy some wrenches already and be a...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I took the module out and disassembled it. Not difficult, but definitely a bit tricky. Removed all of the fuses, relays, stacked boards and accessed the onboard relays. R&R'd the relay in question and put it all back together. Installed it and the damned thing wouldn't start... just cranked and...

    Numerous Dash Warning Lights Coming On & Going Off

    Also check your alternator. You can do a basic check by measuring voltage across the battery terminals with the engine running. If this indicates less than 14 volts, it is probably failing to charge the battery.

    Numerous Dash Warning Lights Coming On & Going Off

    I’ll go so far as to recommend that you actually replace the battery clamps when you replace that old battery.

    Has anybody had to replace their TIPM with a remanufactured unit?

    I have never been so inspired to replace a board-mounted relay in my life.

    Look what I got today… I might get to the TIPM repair next week. I’ll take a few pics and provide as much of a DIY tutorial as I can.

    That damned mirror was only ever looking at your past anyway… get yourself one that recognizes your potential instead of always just focusing on where you’ve been.

    Has anybody had to replace their TIPM with a remanufactured unit?

    I just ordered the relay needed to repair the failed wiper speed/door lock relay. If you're moderately capable/technical you should be able to tackle this. I found this pic that indicates which relays are for which circuits. Yours may or may not be the same, apparently there are several...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I'd rather fix the relay than cut into the harness. Circuit boards don't scare me, I've troubleshot, fixed, or replaced plenty of them over the years.

    Got the trail cam connected. Closer view: Screen View: I like the viewing angle so far, we'll see how well it works in the dirt I need to learn the clearance I have between camera view and reality before I have any kind of confidence in it. It's really just a gimmick that the radio happens...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    eBay had them. I had to buy a kit of them, but only about $3 each. If it works, I’ll post up some pics, etc. If it doesn’t work, I’ll post a link to the go fund me for a new TIPM… 😬

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Been researching the this intermittent wiper problem (they only work w/o delay), along w/ a sporadic door lock/unlock issue. Both are symptoms of a failed/failing TIPM. I reviewed the options of new, rebuilt, and/or sending mine in for rebuild… all of which are overpriced. That made me keep...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Yes, the Android unit I have supports a front & rear camera input.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    We had roof rack rails on the TJ hardtop. That would likely not be needed with the rack I’ve been looking at for the JK though, as the rear mounts connect to the hinges and the front mounts attach to the drip rails over the back doors. I’m against any rack over a soft top because of the framework.
