got starter working,is cranking fine now but no spark. i have power at coil but not coming out of it (hi voltage)pulled coil and tested according to haynes manual it is good any ideas?

 

Hey guys question. I've searched but I'm gonna di electric all the electronics under the hood but when I do the iac and such do I just fill te female connector and reconnect or no?? Not sure if dielectric grease is conductive ad cause a short

 

Dielectric grease is an insulator. Only thing to worry about is making sure the pins have solid contact afterward.

 

Awesome thanks brother. I know what I'm doin tomorrow

 

Use OxGard instead.

 

Ill look it up and see if I can get ahold of it. Sounds link anti-ox

 

Every hardware store has it.

Two Questions
One: I'm having a problem with my hood release. The hood opens really hard. The hood releases move and open easily when I grab the cable and pull where it is connected to the center piece under the hood. It pulls rlly hard at the release thing in the kick panel. I can not find any binds or anything obvious. What could cause this?

Two(much simpler): what temperature does the e-fan turn on? 98 XJ, thanks

 

Lube it up with grease or WD40.

218°.

 

my under the hood light hasnt worked since i bought the jeep. it worked once when i opened my hood but thats it. what are common problems with these not working and are they fixed easily without buying a new housing. i have installed a new led bulb and it still dosent work.

 

Did you check with a multimeter to ensure it has power, and are the contacts clean?

 

Ok this is the best way to fix it. Listen carefully and copy this. 1) disconnect cable 2) tuck cable under wire harness 3) break off the housing completely 4) buy a magnetic led light from HB or similar 5) magnet it to the hood when needed and put in glove box when done. Seriously those lighs are more trouble than worth fixing. It was a good concept by jeep but I'm alway seeing the connectors fraying, cracking, burning etc.

 

So I have the np231 t case on my xj. I need to replace my t case. Would I be able to use a np242? Would I have to mod anything???

 

Its great stuff. Its mandatory to use in house wiring when attaching old aluminium and copper wiring together and highly recommended for all aluminium connections.

the thing to watch, is it is a conductive grease. it does protect against corrosion but make sure you don't smear it all over a multi pin connector. It will short the connections.

Best use for any single wire connections or crimped wires such as lugs and such

 

I picked up a retractable light from an old Chevy work truck at the JY. The light will wrap from the engine compartment all the way around the jeep and back to the other side of the engine bay. The base is only about 6"x6" so u can hide it just about anywhere. Put an LED bulb in it and its super bright. Paid something around $5 for it. Great little gadget to have when u need quick semi-portable light around the jeep. I hang it from my roof rack and use it as a flood light when were hangin out around the truck on night runs.
