14 Wrangler Front door electric plug/connector repair question.

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have a 14 Wrangler that the drivers side front power window would work intermittently. I found the problem after I watched a YouTube video with the same symptoms of mine. It’s a wire in the electric connector that you can unplug when you take the doors off. One of the wires ( the one that powers the front driver window) had broken off right at the terminal that goes into the plug. What I’m having trouble with is finding a replacement terminal to add to the new wire. I have it just dead ended at the moment. Does anybody have any idea where I could find such a thing? Or point me in the right direction. I’ve been to most auto parts shops in my city and they could not help. Just trying to find a terminal before I have to contact a dealership.
Also I’m in southern Ontario Canada if that helps. Thanks!

Help w/mods

Just got a 2012 Jeep Liberty (former 2003 Jeep GCL momma)

I'd like to do some exterior/interior aesthetic mods in orange - handles, grill inserts, vents, etc. but my search results keep coming back for wrangler or dodge only 😵‍💫 Is there a standard "compatible trim" I should be looking at for the mods (maybe why wrangler/dodge and KK/JK keep coming up?)

I'm also planning to raptor paint the bumpers/fenders/grill/runner black and switch out headlights for a better led package. And eventually lift/wheels but all that has been easy to find so far.

I've got zero experience making changes/modding a vehicle so any help from the community is appreciated as I'm learning!

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Rough Idle

4 Upvotes

Like the title states, I fired up my jeep after not driving it for 2 weeks. Drove it home about 10 miles and had no issues. Went to drive it the next day and had an extremely rough idle and code P1294. I found a cracked vaccum hose and replaced it, but it hardly made any difference.

2004 Grand Cherokee 4.7

3 Upvotes

Long story short, I am being gifted the above vehicle. Buddy is moving and can’t take it with him. Been in his family since new in 2004. Roughly 200,000 miles. Has oil blowby (bluish exhaust smoke upon startup and after extended idle). Also has 4wd.

Question: what should I check first to diagnose blowby? What maintenance should I do? Etc etc.

Thanks!!!

My 2018 JL notifies me on the dashboard that all tires are low (2.2) and must inflate to 2.4. Is there a way to cancel or remove this notification?

Ever since it became cold outside the tire sensor keeps flashing. I read on Jeep forums to inflate to 31 psi but that lowered the pressure to 2.1. I don’t even know what 2.2 means 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been told about the chalk test. However, I don’t know how to get rid of this notification on my dashboard. Please help!

1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo questions

3 Upvotes

I recently acquired a 1994 Jeeps Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2L with a reported head gasket issue. It has been sitting for 2-3 years. Ran like an absolute dream before with two previous owners (family). Under 200k miles.

I have the head gasket and fixed some other things saw like dead mice in the windshield washer reservoir & will be replacing tubes that look dry rotted.

I've been watching YT videos on things people do to restore this gen vehicle and I'm unsure where to start. I'm still new to DIY mechanics.

My question: what should I prioritize and look for when under the hood? What should I upgrade? Advice and suggestions welcome.

Where can I find square side mount mirrors?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi! Sorry if this isnt the right place for this question, I'm trying to help out a friend who owns a Wrangler JK.

He wants to find the side mirrors that have the metal plate decal attached to them (like in the picture), but all of the ones that we can find are round. He would prefer a square/rectangle one for more visibility. We asked the man who owned the jeep but he didn't remember and said he bought them at a jeep fest years ago.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I wanted a a different exhaust note/tone vs the non-exhaust tone of the stock muffler. I really like Flowmaster mufflers, but did not like any of the kits they made, I thought they sound like crap, or were way over priced, $500 for a muffle that dumps before the rear axle!?!?! And while I like the tone of the AFE high clearance axle back, it was still $400. I bought this kit from a company called Performance Curve, they are a family shop based in Virginia and sell on eBay and their own site. I bought a kit from them before for a 94 Ford F150 and was impressed so I bought one for my JK. What really sold me was that it came with a Super 44 muffler (my all time favorite) and 2.5 mandrel bent pipes with exhaust hanger welded on and all clamps. All for $199! They have 2 other kits for the JK even cheaper! The hardest part was getting the old muffler out of the old isolators, I cut them because I was going to replace them with new OEM isolators and it was still a PITA. It might not before everyone, but I really like the tone, and from in the cabin it isn’t droning, tbh I can just barely hear it when I have the radio on, or I really get in it. (I have a soft top too)

#6 Misfire

2 Upvotes

2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport. #6 misfire. New parts: 2 Distributors, 3 plugs, wires, fuel injectors, catalytic converters, camshaft and crankshaft sensors, compression good, plenum good. Misfire usually happens when rumping on the gas during highway driving. After changing a plug the Misfire goes away, but creeps back after about 70 miles. Change the distributor, same effect. Has anybody else seen this? Distributor a NAPA part, Champion plugs. Possible distributor/plug issue in which the NAPA distributor is breaking down the plug 🤔
