I'll probably order new pins online when I get around to it, these will work for the foreseeable future. If they don't last, well I'm basically a pro at this now, got a little assembly line going and everything lol
God I'm so glad this damage wasn't hiding above the transmission or behind the...
Yeah they're all standard wires, tiny gauge but standard. A butt splice isn't an option for many of them as they're too close to the edge of the connector for that, so I depinned them to see what I could do about the pin terminal itself. The crimp on those is way too permanent for me to pry...
In case anyone needs to re-pin one of these connectors, it's actually quite easy if you have a thin enough tool. In my case it was a lockpick because that's what I had readily available, but a micro size flathead screwdriver or a pick or whatever will fit can do the job as well. You need to...
Anyone know how to de-pin these connectors or what kind of tool is needed?
I'm thinking that little plastic tab toward the back is something I have to pry away from the pin to release the lock, but I'm not particularly interested in prying on random stuff that may or may not be designed for it...
Well I'm no expert but that might be the problem. I dunno if I'll need a new wiring harness or if this is fixable, the wires are chewed down real close to the connector. If I can take the individual wires out with the pins it shouldn't be a problem, not sure if that's possible though.
For...
That's exactly where it was! I found it right before you posted, that exact connector has some wires chewed through, fortunately it looks to be an easy repair if I can get the quarter panel off.
Back in the 90's the myth was that they used peanut oil in some form or fashion to lubricate either the copper conductor or the insulation as it was being manufactured, and that's why rodents were so attracted to it. That was back when everyone was still using petroleum based insulation on...
Kind of what I was thinking, these codes are from several modules. Which makes me think perhaps I could narrow it down to a specific area to look if there's a particular wire loom that all of these modules pass through. If I could find that spot, hopefully a repair might be possible without...
That must have been great right up to the point where it quit running lol
I used to live way out in the country without so much as a carport to park in, I'd go outside and see foxes sitting on the hood of my Jeep, coyote crap in the yard, skunks and rattlesnakes on my porch, ground squirrels...
Ordinarily I would agree, I've had issues with mice and packrats with vehicles before, but since we've been living here I haven't seen a single packrat yet. I have, however, seen squirrels run out from underneath my Bronco when I walked out, and the prints more closely resemble squirrels than...
Got in my Bronco today and was greeted by every single warning message imaginable. I hadn't done anything to it for months and it's been 100% reliable, so it was a shock to say the least. Did some troubleshooting and code clearing, checked fuses, etc. All I came up with was a blown ABS fuse...
A reasonable conclusion, given the situation. If one person carries a spare for everyone, then that implies you're all running the same size, which would then imply everyone is probably running near stock capability wise, and if you're all at that level, you're probably not running trails that...
Hardware, most likely. If I had to guess it's a loose connection or component on the IC board inside the sealed camera housing, as replacing the camera seems to address the issue as well as smacking the camera itself. If it was software, neither of those solutions would ameliorate the problem...
This is where your rattling is coming from guys, those two nut plates in the square holes:
They rely on the bolt passing through to expand them and hold them solid in the square hole. It has four tiny little legs that expand out to contact the edges of the hole, and if you take one of the...
Glad to see this on a 2dr finally, looks really slick.
What kind of travel are you getting on the rear?
And is 18" up front the max travel for those of us who don't mind chopping fenderwells?
Is the axle still a semi-floater? I'd kind of expect a full floater at that price point.
She wouldn't be the owner, and I don't believe her dealership would be either. I don't know the specifics of how ownership is transferred but I believe once a dealership receives a vehicle, the dealership files the necessary paperwork, takes ownership, and it becomes theirs as soon as they get...
