The yellow 55w I stole out of my uncles attic when he divorced my aunt. It was a battery light but i wired it into a cigarette outlet. The 25w spotlight($10),blue 27led ($3),and the yellow halogen AA headlamp ($3) all came from harbor freight. The black one($10) was a Christmas gift came from belks, and its the toughest SOB.

Trying to track down my antenna and radio issues of why I get no signals. Read that there is a connector that comes apart behind the lower kick panel on the passenger side. Anyone got a picture of what exactly I should be looking for or even which kick panel I need to take off? I'm a n00b

I'm surprised the flashlight doesn't just stick to the console. It's all frickin gummy and dirty.

Default DTC P1682 = Charge Voltage Too Low, but it's NOT!

Twice in three days, while driving my '99, the "Check Gauges" indicator lit up. I saw my voltmeter peg to the left, or 9VDC (because it can't go to 0VDC). It normally indicates straight up the middle at ~14VDC. The Jeep keeps running and driving without hesitation or stumble when this occurs. An external voltmeter connected to the battery posts with engine running, e-brake set, shifter in D and electrical system under normal typical load conditions (running lamps lit, radio on and vent blower on #2) indicates ~13.5VDC and the gauge diagnostic functions perfectly. I pulled and cleaned the connectors to the ECM after the first incident and everything appeared to return to normal - until today's event. I need one of you gurus out there to give me a couple of hints as to what to check next. Note that I own a factory manual and I understand the electrical schema so don't be afraid to talk tech with me. At this point I'm beginning to fear the potential loss of my ECM. What say you, oh-wiser-than-me CF Veterans?

Well they make the best Army authorized boots that I've found. I hear the new Nike boots are really nice, though.

Well I don't have a radio yet (pain in the ***!) but I found the fuse I think 15 amp replaced it and before I got it all the way in it blew so looks like I'm gonna have to check some wires start with the radio wires cause the PO cut them all and didnt cover them.

Thanks

What is it with people just hacking off entire sections of wiring?

Good luck
