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…

Please keep the community updated on your outcome. This could be a sticky if you indeed fix it yourself.
Best of luck!
I always wondered if you could find the wires going in and the return wires on the individual accessories and just cut the wires and reconnect them with a relay

I put the cover on because finally in our area of NY we are getting snow tonight and tomorrow. I also don't feel like taking all the snow off cuz "ain't nobody got time for that!"

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 to support, so I wanted to see if I could maybe also
use it for recording video instead of just providing a live feed.

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.
LOOKS good! I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my extra camera. I have the same radio.
Got an oil change along with a new aluminum oil cooler/filter housing today. Also picked up a stone in the parking lot. Then the stone decided to leave my tire just in time to smack the passenger side mirror. Yay

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.Got an oil change along with a new aluminum oil cooler/filter housing today.

Got a projected return from the body shop. March 10. It was originally supposed to be the 3rd, but there is some work they're going to need to farm out to a regular garage. Bent the mounting brackets on the front axle, so I'm getting a new front axle.
Looking forward to getting it back. I've got some rear quarter armor sitting in the garage waiting to go on...

Popped the panels off and enjoying the day. Can't wait for warmer temps.

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.

Would take me all summer because I am retired. ( the more time one has, the less that gets done). My wife is still waiting for me to put the wood mouldings up on our new house we built 20yrs ago. All Good
Hoserd the salt off, but heading out to the corner Trading Post and have some (today warm 32F) snow, sloppy, slushy, fish tailing Primo JK fun. All nanny fuses pulled, 1 rear wheel drive . Good Times
Haven't done it yet, but parts are rolling in!

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 cranked. The starter even remained engaged with the key in the RUN position.
Not good.
Disconnected the battery, pulled all of the cables off and carefully reseated them, then tried again.
Jeep started just fine.
Took it for a quick spin around the block to try the wipers and see if the new relay solved the problem; it didn't.
Still no delayed wiper function, only in low or high setting.
Not that big of a deal, except that when I parked, I noticed that the reverse lights remained on.
Definitely not a problem that I had before.
Played w/ Jscan to reset the ECU, clear codes, etc. and the damned reverse lights will not turn off.
I had to pull the bulbs.
Then I spent some time finding the best rebuild option for our schedule and this damned thing is heading out for a professional rebuild tomorrow.
I dream of the day that everything on this Jeep works as it should.
