I have tried two different boat trailers with the same results. Ground at plug tests good with continuity tester. Extra ground leads added before and after converter to rule out ground issue.

my jeep is oddly optioned as it was originally a lhd postal jeep. I'm assuming it never had the towing package. When I got it there was no hitch receiver, or relays, it just had the universal converter and plug. The tester I'm using is the one that autozone sells made by Hopkins. It has four...

That is a possibility, but it had a universal converter in it before that had similar issues. It was wired in with quick connects which were removed and wires repaired. Plus this seems unlikely considering if I probe the wires directly behind the trailer plug everything seems to work, but using...

Having a bit of an issue with the trailer wiring harness on my '98 xj. I installed a Hopkins plug in wiring harness flat 4. plugged in a test plug, and plugged in boat trailer both giving the same issue. left/right, hazard, and stop work until i turn on running lights, then only running lights...

Don't believe it's nss or tps on mine. Those were my first two ideas. Tps was replaced with a new one and adjusted to spec, with a new ground added. Nss was taken off, completely disassembled cleaned and reassembled.

So I did a little tinkering on this today. Decided instead of pulling the pan to check solenoids I'd just hardwire the solenoid wires to switches and see if I've got all 4 gears. I tried it and it worked. Instead of leaving it like that I started looking around for ideas. Found the RADesigns...

I'll try to get a schematic in a minute. In general as long as the tcu power switch is on and none of the others are then it's essentially in stock operating mode. No wires are cut only tapped in to except for the power wire.

I also need a little advice on my transmission problems. In the interest of not flooding the forum I'm going to try posting it in this thread instead of starting a new one. Any advice is welcome as transmissions are kinda me weak point. To recap it's a '90 XJ Laredo 4.0/aw4/PT 4wd The...

I know everything works with this setup. More or less I'm just trying to reason out if that was was what a prior owner did. I'm just going to assume that's what was done to it unless I find out otherwise. Just makes it a little troublesome when picking up parts trying to discern which parts to...

Given that the block is a 91-95 which would have been OBDI, and the truck has a renix setup. I'm assuming I would be possible to swap everything from an OBDI era block to make it a Renix system. In the mean time I'm trying to work on a diagnosis for my tranny. If anyone wants to help with that...

What I know so far is that the vin says '90. The firewall sticker says it takes a 19mmx1.5 thread filter. The engine casting # says it's a '91-'95 and it actually takes a 3/4" thread filter. It is a renix system with distributor/coil setup with aluminum valve cover. Can anyone give me a...

Pretty sure this hasn't been done. Mine mounts with the threaded end of the oil filter facing down. Almost completely vertical and tilted just slightly towards the fender.

Door sticker is no good on this truck. I noticed when I got it that the driver side doors look a little off colored in florescent light. I'm pretty sure someone painted those doors at some point and in the process removed the sticker. Originally I thought the doors were replaced, but the vin...

After a bit of digging around google and a factory parts manual. I've managed to find a block serial# of 006mx29 and a block casting # of 53008405. According to this post (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/4-0l-serial-number-location-995174/) my casting number corresponds to a '91-'95. So I'm...

Ok double checked the VIN and it says L, so title is correct. Even the VIN on the vent window says L. The firewall sticker says M20. So everything but the engine itself says it should be the old filter. Considering that 20mm is almost exactly 1mm bigger than 3/4" I wouldn't think the new style...
