Do you just need a copy of the 92 wiring diagram? I have one, just have to figure out where it is....
-
No, I've checked fuses and swapped them when having issues without any success. 28F today and won't start. Drove it last night to the gym right before the temp dropped (was ~60F). Tried cleaning both grounds (taillight one and the one I added to the fuel pump) with no success. Guess I'll pull the tank and replace the pump at this point.... I'm not sure what else I can do. I might try bypassing the resistor again just for the heck of it.

Dirtbound Offroad Frame Stiffeners
Tex06 replied to Tex06's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Still struggling to get everything to fit just right. Haven't welded anything yet bc I always do my fitup before, but I got so my pieces painted with weldthru primer and a bunch of c-clamps. Any pictures or model screenshots you could share? -
Yup. Did it back in 2016. Re-cleaning the grounds hasn't solved the problem. Still getting no fuel somedays. Isn't fixing it now. Have I mentioned that I hate intermittent electrical issues? Next step is checking my other grounds, I'm starting to wonder if maybe my body isn't grounded well, although that should give me a lot of other issues too.

May have found a solution.... time will tell. Looks like by rear tailight ground had corroded a touch, despite the coating I put on it a few years ago. Willing to bet the one I added as per Cruiser54's tips has done the same. Cleaned with the key in the on position when I had a non-start condition (only time it has happened with the temp over 60!) and could hear the pump prime when I reconnected it I'll wait for the next cold snap and if there's no issues I'll declare it fixed (and redo the ground on the pump itself).

Dirtbound Offroad Frame Stiffeners

Much appreciated. Do any of these go on the inside of the frame rail or are they all external? I haven't had access to the lift to take another look at these yet. -
LCG Setup: 35βs on 3β of lift
Tex06 replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I've got 4.5" lift and 33" was about the max I could run and have any usable travel. 35 fit but even with the trimmed front fenders I get rubbing over bumps. -

Got my longbed stiffeners in last month. Looks good so far but can't figure out where some of the smaller pieces go. Anybody here completed their install yet? Pics of the stuff I have figured out so far.
-
Oh well aware. Intermittent electrical are my least favorite kind of problems. And with this Jeep nothing is ever easy to troubleshoot..... burnt connectors, cold solder joints, new sensors that are doa.... On the flip side, I don't complain about any of my GM products anymore. Between the Comanche and my diesel VW I've got enough shoddy workmanship and dumb engineering that any other brands seem great π

No, not yet. It's cold and wet here and I hate working on cold and wet ground π I'm either parked in the street or on my grass. I installed a Bosch fuel pump back in 2016 so I didn't really think it could be the pump, especially since when it is running it keeps up fine.
-
Yup, did this a few years ago. Guess I'll check that new ground and see how she's holding up.
-
I'm not sure, but in the AM I might pull the taillight and clean (again) to see if that changes anything.

Update on the truck. 1) fuel pump still doesn't prime/kick on when it's below about 65F for the first start. More on that later. 2) Battery load tested good. Starter was burned up (intermittent internal connection.... likely from cranking on it trying to start). Replaced and turns over fine now. The fuel pump thing really has my scratching my head. If it's below about 65F and the truck has sat all night, the fuel pump won't prime and truck won't start. If I turn the key on and let it sit on for 30 seconds or crank it *then turn it off and walk away for 15-20 minutes* it will start if I try again. Once it's started, I don't have any issues throughout the day, even if it sits for 6+ hours. I've replicated this 3x this week and it's got me stumped. I've bypassed the fuel pump resistor, swapped the relay for a known good one, battery terminals and cables are in great shape (Mean Lemons 0GA installed 3 years ago). The only thing for sure is cold weather means no fuel pump in the morning.

Swapping Bulbs for LEDs.
Tex06 replied to Spinnakerblue89's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I just pulled the ZEVOs out of my truck for the oracle tails. Really liked them for an option over the standard incandescent bulbs. I've got 2 brake/tail bulbs and 2 reverse bulbs if anyone wants them. -
Yeah. I did the poor man's load test as described above but maybe it's not enough π€·ββοΈ Guess next weekend I'll be pulling my wiring schematics out and tracing each circuit, refreshing connections as I go.
-
Swapped the relay for a known good one already, didn't kick the fuel pump on. Definitely a fuel issue. Truck doesn't always crank. Usually does but not always. See #1.
-
Morning, night, late afternoon..... if it's below 65 a start is iffy.
-
Have not load tested. Last night it was turning over but no fuel so I flipped the key a few times and it went to no crank, and still no fuel pump. This morning is the 48F and nothing happens when I turn the key. I'm def leaning towards bad connection but at this point I'm not sure where to look.
-
Haven't tried lately but last December it didn't make a difference.

Solved! Only took 2 years, lol. OK, I'm scratching my head on this one. Jeep starts fine when it's warm. Anytime its cold (below 60-65F..... yes I'm aware this isn't cold to some of you but I live in New Orleans ) I get one or both of two issues: 1) no crank, no start. Don't get a click. Starter doesn't move. Battery voltage drops ever so slightly (12.4 to 12.2) 2) no fuel pump. Key on, can usually hear my pump prime. When it's cold out, key to on and I get nothing. Truck will crank and crank but not start (duh, not getting fuel). If #1 happens, I've been able to push start it to get it to go. If #2 happens, sometimes I'll be able to start it by flicking the ignition on and off a few times to get enough pressure to start. If they both happen, I get my car keys and leave the truck at the house π€·ββοΈ Battery is older (2017) but seems to be charged. This doesn't always happen when it's cold but it happens enough to where I don't trust the truck this time of year. As soon as the weather warms up, all of these issues go away. I haven't refreshed my grounds in 4 or 5 years, but I have cleaned the battery terminals fairly often trying to troubleshoot this one. Been ongoing for about 3 years now, but definitely worse this year.
