Why the "HELP!!!! What is it????"...???
Got me all worked up, thought you had a big snake in your ride that you needed identifying or something ...🤣. Take a breath, it's not a tracker.

LOL Roler...I have been dealing with electrical issues with this Jeep for over 2 years. Have followed this forum the whole time I have had a Jeep this being my 2nd one. I have cleaned grounds..replaced sensors..traced wires..bought a multimeter (which really don't know what I am doing ).. have numerous other "issues" I am dealing with in life (like everyone else) so..I am at my end..feel like I am drowning..and am grabbing at cinder blocks..thus the "HELP"..thanx for the chuckle though..will be posting in length about the issues later..believing someone on here can help..thanx for letting me be part of the community 😊

Ey, we are all part of the same community, mate.
As for the Jeep side of life; there are some folks here with quite a bit of knowledge and wanting to help out. So if you feel like you would like others to see if they can help you with anything, throw it in a thread and see what the members come up with.

As for your DMM (voltmeter), happy to give you some guidance. They are not even half as intimidating as they look, just need to know what you are actually doing or measuring. Once you know and how, it can provide you with a wealth of diagnostic info.

Yeah, woke up to 36 and it was 40C when I got out of work. About 16 is my favorite, so 40 doesn't really turn my crank.
