Like battery cables ;) ? I wish the rest of my electrical system was in as good of shape as the cables I bought from you!

Just went outside and looked and I've positively ID the part. Is there any reason why I can't/shouldn't just clip off the spade connectors, strip down the wires a bit,put the 2 ends together with a but joint connector, and then heat shrink over the whole repair area?

Thanks 5-90 (once again!) What really blows my mind, is that the part isn't even available at the dealership. I've gotten used to NAPA and the others telling me they cant get some esoteric part. This is the 1st time I've ever gone to a dealership's parts department only to be told, "Sorry...

Ok back on the hunt then. I was under the impression that it was mounted to the firewall on the drivers side :( What is the doohickey in the photo?

After figuring out ( in a large part through NAJXJA you guys ROCK! ) that my starts but wont run issue is most likely a Ballast Resistor gone bad, I set out to buy a replacement. I've searched high and low locally NAPA, Benet, AutoZone, Advanced Auto, even the Jeep Stealership, er Dealership's...

I think my ballast resistor is shot. I'll be going tomorrow to pick up a new one, but I cant find it in the on-line NAPA parts catalogue ( I have much better luck getting what I need when I go in with a part number ) Any idea what else the fuel pump ballast resistor might be called? Sal

Birchlake, Thanks for the reply. I don't see any type of ceramic ballast on the firewall. I'm assumig you mean engine side and not up under the dash. Was the ceramic ballast on the RENIX engines? I do NOT have a RENIX. Sal

Took the nine year old fishing. Jeep started and ran great to the fishing hole but wouldn't start when it was time to go back home. It would start, but as soon as the ignition was moved from START back to RUN, it died. I have good spark, and I get lots of fuel (took off the fuel line where...

Bench vice + Dremmel tool made quick work of it. Think I'll keep the wire in the Jeep w/ me and give the scrap copper to the next homeless guy who asks me for some change :flipoff:

Woot thanks for the quick reply 5-90. Now where did I put that hacksaw....

Posted this then went off to send him a PM I need to run the Jeep tomorrow so I'm just trying to cover all the bases :) Sal

A while back I ordered new cables for my XJ from 5-90. I finally got around to putting them on and I have a question. The OEM positive cable that comes of the bat and goes to the main box under the hood had a connection for attaching to 2 bolts on the front of the box. My 5-90s only have a...

Cant believe I been lurking here as long as I have and I've finally had an issue with my XJ that I cant find the solution to using the search :gag: Yesterday I put a new starter and alternator in my XJ (1991 Limited w/ the 4.0 I6) When I removed the Alt I found a wire that was not connected...
