Looking at the wiring diagram, it looks like the relay doesn't have power if the switch is not in RUN.
Thanks

Random question... I replaced my cat with a high flow cat and my old cat was in good shape inside, but it was hacked off so no really reusable. I know there are precious metals inside of it so... What should I do with it?

So-No Key in RUN-No Horn-Thanks for the reply-Makes me feel better. I was going to start looking at the under dash wiring but there's an aftermarket remote car starter and its a wilderness of splices down there.

You may want to bring a receipt for the new cat. I doubt they'll ask, but cat theft isn't uncommon & a receipt would prevent any suspicion of where you got a functional cat from.

Here in Indianapolis there's only one place that still takes cats... omnisource got in trouble for taking stolen stuff including cats. So everyplace just stopped taking them. It was after a penske rental truck place had over 30 trucks stripped of cats. Someone went to town with a cordless saws all, lol.
To make sure its worth while, poke a stick down it, if goes all the way thru or close to it, don't waste your time you won't get much for it.

Would the hi lift bumper lift attachment work with the stock bumpers on an 00 xj or do you need after market bumpers to use the jack?
