Roof Rails for a 2012 KK
I have been informed that the big problem with car-part.com is that when you call, the part is gone. This is also a problem with certain parts at a junkyard. You cannot call to find parts at a junkyard. They just throw the car out there and you then have to scavenge your parts. And the parts...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I had the trailer on the Jeep and the ATV on the trailer. Went to a nearby city and up the canyon road. Unloaded the ATV and went up to about 8000 feet or so, I think, and ran into some deep snow drifted across the trail/road. So I turned back. The reloaded and went to another nearby town...- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
Thanks I will take the switch out before long, and I assume it will prove to be the 680 switch listed above that I can get new. But thanks for the offer. dc Both the 560 and the 680 appear identical. Why they have two numbers ... ? Maybe either one would work.- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
Yes, they made some major changes going from the KJ to the KK. Basically an entirely different Jeep, body wise. The KK opens at the rear like the XJs, if you watch Matt's Off Road Recovery. dc- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
Standing at the rear of the KK, one's hand, palm up, reaches under the chrome plate that spans across the KK, the plate that holds two lights that light downward onto the license plates. To the right, again, reaching and pushing upward is that switch, and pushing it causes the glass to pop up...- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
Well, I found two of them. Known as Flipper Window Switch. The only problem is, both of them say, won't fit my car. Why in the world would they use two switches for that. Why not one switch for all their cars? Anyway, I suppose one or the other, or both will fit my car...- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
Well, I have sort of found it. It appears on lift-gate handle, Mopar 57010158AE. https://www.moparwholesaleparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-lift-gate-handle-57010158ae?c=bT0xJmw9NSZuPVJlY29tbWVuZGVkIFByb2R1Y3RzJms9MQ%3D%3D It's in the 2nd photo to the right of the right license plate light. The...- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
It's mounted underneath the plastic chrome that runs across the back gate. Under, where the latch handle is to open the gate. So water shouldn't be going up to it. The glass overhangs the gate lower part, so water shouldn't go down there. But it definitely feels crusted up inside. There...- David13

Lift Gate Glass Open Switch
Beside the rear lift gate opening lever there is a small rectangular switch marked WINDOW on it, which I assume is to open the rear glass. The switch is frozen. Sounds feels like water got into it and rotted the insides. I can't find that switch on any of the parts lists, or the parts pdf...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Tow mode is only on the KK. I thought (meant) KJ and KK, but ok. Only on the KK. Now what I read on a post somewhere was all KKs have the tow mode switch, even if the transmission doesn't have the tow mode. That doesn't make much sense, or does it. I know the light on the dash lights up if...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Put the code reader (Autel MK808) on the Jeep and drove to work, 22 miles. Engine got up to 203 and stayed there. Transmission up to 176 and stayed there. That indicates to me that the water pump and thermostat are working. I'm gong to do an overnight pressure test on the radiator. And...- David13

Transmission Temperature
Well, to add any fan and clutch I should take off the shroud and the over flow box. And if I do that I can then easily access the water pump and lower hose, and thermostat. And then maybe I can determine what all those hoses down there are for. I see what looks to be the power steering going...- David13

Transmission Temperature
Thanks Howard There was also a more recent thread on the mechanical cooling fan and installation of it with model numbers, etc. I'd like to reread that one if someone can find it for me. dc I think I'm settled on the Hayden 2736. I just need a fan blade to go with it. I'm going to take off...- David13

Transmission Temperature
What I have found so far. Some Libertys came with a trans cooler as part of the radiator. Not mine. Mine probably came with (tow package) a trans cooler as part of the a/c condenser. I have to lines underneath that seem to come from the trans and are just looped into each other, moving...- David13

Transmission Temperature
I went for a drive up a canyon road, off the pavement and up to the snow and wet road. I'm trying to get my trans refill level right. Going up, I went up maybe 2000 to 3000 feet in 8 or 10 miles. Steep, steady uphill, the engine went up to about 217. But the transmission temperature got up...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I put the Autel MK808 back on and drove a bit. At overnight rest the trans fluid was about 90mm. Then I drove for 20 blocks or so and managed to find the temperatures on the display for both engine and transmission. Engine got up to 208 and probably ran there on city streets. Parked at idle...- David13
