Changed plugs in the 07. (ngk zfr6f-11g)

All the old ones were between .050-.060 :Whoa:

Unhooked the 1 remaining electrical connector (passenger side), ****** vent and dipstick tube, removed the top 2 bolts and the 2 on each side and slid the ****** back off the dowels and dropped it down. The ****** jack worked perfectly, as did a 20" plus 10" socket extension, and universal joint with electrical tape on the joint to make it less wobbly.

Re-torqued sway bar links (I obviously didn't torque them with the Jeep's weight on them last time I was messing around :pp: )

Annoying "clunk" now gone.

By the way, your hint about the 36" ratchet extension helped me a ton in advance, TwoBobsKJ. I bought the 20" extension to go with my 10" and that made all the difference in removing the top 2 bolts.

So thanks :)

Spent the day chasing electrical demons. :mad3:

For the last couple of weeks, any time I would turn on the headlights the right side tail lights wouldn't work (blowing fuse 9), and the left side tail light cluster had the amber turn signal light constantly illuminated.

Anytime I replaced a fuse, and it popped again, we could always smell the burn by the rear of the vehicle.
I took dielectric grease to all the rear housing sockets and bulbs - no change.
Pulled the panels off the inside cargo area to examine the wiring - nothing.
Disconnected trailer wiring - nothing.
Pulled the right side of the bumper cover off to examine wiring there - everything good.
Re-reviewed the manual to see what else was covered by fuse #9... front marker lights.
Pulled bulb sockets out of the front marker lights - corroded and melted! :banana-mario: Finally an answer!

For fun, we pulled the left side lights too... and while that socket still worked, it was in pretty bad shape (was causing my rear amber to stay lit). Replaced both bulb sockets in the front, replaced bulbs, greased all connections... and I'm back in business again! :D

Then...
I've had fluctuation speedometer issues again. Luckily, that was the same issue it always is... the wiring leading off the wheel speed sensor above the rear diff keeps getting rubbed open. Patched that, re-attached it away from the e-brake line, and all is well.

Demons exorcised! :flamingdevil:

I do too - I'm not great beyond basic wiring... and I HATE chasing electrical shorts. Fortunately, it was simple-ish.


Oh... and I also washed it and temporarily removed the CB antenna today.

Cleaned it and changed the oil. Need to get around to doing the front and rear diffs soon.
