    No Start, Key Won’t Turn Far Enough

    Nope. I turned the key and thought, “something just felt very weird…”

    No Start, Key Won’t Turn Far Enough

    The new pin came early! I got it all back together, now. The Dorman part is identical to the factory part.

    No Start, Key Won’t Turn Far Enough

    I ordered the Dorman part from Rock Auto: DORMAN 924704 Oddly enough, Napa’s Echlin line has this too, but they want $100 for it, while RA is $43. I’ve never seen that big of a difference…

    No Start, Key Won’t Turn Far Enough

    Ok, problem has been located, and it’s temporarily fixed. The culprit ended up being the actuating pin. The end that plugs into the ignition switch broke. In the meantime, I’ll be sporting a screwdriver. I do need to hold a key right next to the slot, otherwise the engine dies after two...

    No Start, Key Won’t Turn Far Enough

    Well, I got stranded while Grocery shopping today. I came back outside, pushed the clutch, turned the key, and nothing! Power accessories turned on, but nothing to the starter. So, I moved some relays around, and still nothing. I tried starting in 4Low to bypass the clutch switch, and still...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yep, I’m super happy :D I will be looking into the steering column when I get home. Best case scenario, something loosened up. Initially, I thought the clutch switch wasn’t working, but I shifted to 4 low and it still wouldn’t work. I also ran in and bought a screwdriver to short the solenoid...

    2006 KJ - ABS, Traction Control, ESP/BAS, Brake Light

    I’m glad I found this thread. I’ve been just driving like this for almost four years. I don’t miss the traction control (I’m for KISS like Liberty and Tom, up there), but I do miss cruise control. Looks like I have to get under the jeep soon! Also, as far as rewiring all the way back to the...

    I couldn’t stand having fresh oil, so we put on over 600 miles this weekend to visit some friends.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    This happened after getting gas, today: Also, the speedo says 75, but the GPS says 70. Once I find the issue and fix it, I will probably still end up factoring for the five over.

    Do you have a 90 degree adaptor for your drill? DeWalt and Milwaukee both have good ones for $20 or less.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Not that exact bolt, but I’ve had to deal with them before. Find a socket that is just too tight to fit and pound it on. Get a replacement bolt before the repair if you don’t have another vehicle. If that doesn’t work, or you don’t have a socket to sacrifice, there are sockets made for...

    We sure do, but some people don’t like that method.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    On Friday after work, we loaded up the jeep for another camping trip. I think we finally have a good load-out figured out. Unfortunately, disrespectfully noisy neighboring campers and a horde of very audacious raccoons had us packing up first thing Saturday morning.

    We went camping again. 700+ miles and nearly 21mpg. Our next trip is in two weeks, and it will include my car top carrier and maybe a couple kayaks…

    No more stripies? We have them all over in the prairies in MN, along with the bigger flickertails.
