I know my 4x4 works, just wondering cause my brother has a 2000 wrangler and he has a light that lets him know he's in 4x4. Thanks!

Big issue here now. Starter is new about 3 months I say. When I turn my key nothing. Starter makes a weird noise and when it does turn over which is pretty much never it doesn't sound like my jeep starting. More or a shallow start then anything. Just started today.

Try turning your key to the on position, make sure you're in park/neutral, and crossing the terminals on your starter, with a screwdriver. RUBBER HANDLE WOULD BE IMPORTANT! Or pliers, whatever.. just so it's insulated. Get a good connection between the large positive and ground connections. If it starts your jeep like normal, the issue is between the ignition switch and the NSS.
There is also a much more detailed write-up for troubleshooting this issue, if you search it on here.. this was just how I determined my issue.

I'm planning to get zj/wj replacement front seats. My question is, I have manual seats and wanted to know if the seat controls stay with the base? Do I have to look for manual seats to replace mine? Or it doesn't matter?
