Pretty sure the relay is one of those big can looking things next to the fuses. New one should be about $12.

Different cams, not sure which years it changes.
HO & Renix cams were slightly different.

I thought the HIDs quite working on me because my halogen highbeams (don't have bi-xenon) worked, but the HIDs did not... so I figured one of the ballasts quit working and it just keeps both headlights from kicking on.

So I went through the painstaking process of removing then and putting the sealed-beams back in, only to find out I was experiencing the same problem. Highbeams work fine, no low beams.

So I thought maybe it was the relays in the Putco harness.... swapped relays, same problem. Eliminated the harness altogether by plugging the headlights into the factory wiring... you guessed it... same problem

So by this point, I'm really frustrated and decide to just run it with highbeams... the sealed highs aren't really all the bright anyway.

I don't see how that could be the headlight switch itself because all that does is supply power to the parking light and headlight circuit... sooooooo dimmer switch?!?!?!

Check the headlight/highbeam/fog lamp circuit for faults, or it could be your multifunction switch

So my flasher relay is out, but I can't seem to find where it is. The new relay I bought is silver, round and has two prongs. On the fuse box there's a two prong outlet, but nothing's in it, and the new relay doesn't fit in there. I have no idea where it could be.

Does anyone know if there is a big difference in seat dimensions between pre-97 XJ and post-97 XJs?

Anyone on here running a fuel cell? Looking for helpful info on running hose for it... I found a good thread for the vent/tip over valve. And have that all figured out...

Just wondering about the high pressure feed... Will fuel hose and hose clamps be good enough? Or what route would you take for the supply?

I'd run hardline the majority of the way, like factory, and use high pressure fuel hose for the rest. Hose clamps are fine, but make sure you aren't getting fuel hose for carbureted vehicles

Thanks.


Plan is to mount it in the cargo area. Run the lines/hoses through the floor and to the factory hard lines..

So there would be a few short sections of hose before it was back to hard line. From tank to inline pump from pump to factory hard line.

Ah, I see. Just make sure hose doesn't rub on metal. If you run hose through the floor, use a grommet

Default Repost: Rear thrust angle off.

Is there any solution to correct the rear thrust angle other than replacing leaf springs? My jeep is so close to being straight with the RE drop brackets, this is extremely annoying.

Thanks for any help!

How far off is the thrust angle? Could've just tightened everything up crooked.
