Glad to hear it's safely off the trail! I hope that the dealer and or Jeep will do right by you.
This is really good info. Thanks for posting.Had a 2008 Rubicon Wrangler at the shop the other day with a no start issue. Turns out the automatic sway bar disconnect module have the main communication bus wires run to it. The sway bar motor/module assy is in a bad spot on the sway bar. Not surprisingly it happens to have a bad habit of going into melt down once some water gets into it. Once the module shorts out it takes down all communications on the main bus, meaning the PCM cannot talk to the security module which will cause a no start. Not saying this is the issue, but if anyone sees a JK Rubicon dead on the trail it may be worth a try to disconnect the automatic sway bar module and see what happens.
I am curious to know what happened to this JK. Especially since I own one. lol.
I picked it up this morning. Service guy showed me where they repaired wiring.
After I looked at it, it appears my drag link adjuster clamp was turned up and in just the right position to be able to reach the wiring on the inside of the passenger side frame.
I am lifted and have a high steer set up.
This was not a JK issue, not a Jeep issue and not even a lift/highsteer issue.
I had purposely pointed the adjuster clamp up figuring I would avoid mangling the bolt up on the rocks. Had I pointed it down, forward or backwards there would be no contact with the wires and no damage.
