I don't quite understand how this "spring" is supposed to push down and make contact. It looks simple and would work with the plastic prong piece of the ignition cylinder pushing down on the bend of the spring but I can't manipulate it to do the same idea behind the design. Thoughts?

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/pts/d/phoenix-comanche-mj-glass/7132671868.html Not sure if this is anyone on here selling their glass but here's a CL post I found that's almost a month old.

Alrighty so I am in the process of swapping the turn switch and all that and I decided to make sure the little contact switch was working as it should and it isn't. For what ever reason the spring isn't putting enough pressure on the switch to make contact which seems to be why it won't make a sound. Now I did follow a thread in the DIY that shows the installation of the switch and I don't quite understand. The OP said you need to use a dental pick on the spring to help hold it as you push it in. Not once did he pull the spring out to show how it needs to be on the switch or anything so I'm not sure how the spring should look in case I have the wrong spring. Any ways the circuit works as it should, just my hang up is somewhere between the switch and the ignition/lock cylinder. Here's the post I'm referring to:

No that's correct. They used that cluster style for the idiot lights until 96 I want to say. HO had either the full cluster or the idiot light. Correct me if I'm wrong about the cluster selection but HO idiot light clusters didn't see the updated font package.

I thought the support for my bumper was toast.

2.5L left the factory with that set up. Some have converted to the 2.5L cooling set up by just changing out the bottle to the 2.5L and deleting the ballast resistor and moving the EGR solenoid.

Sounds good! can't wait to see what it says. No problem.

Lol, also very clean and a really base 2.5L with no PS dang. That engine will last ya for ever. If ya wanted you could put an E-fan in and gain a few more HP with the lack of PS and AC. Also when you get the chance can you get an up close pic of the white sticker on the fan shroud? Right here:

it looks like it had a repaint some point in its life. Tailgate straps was an indicator for me and also the nameplates are too high from their original placement. Otherwise very nice MJ and another 2.5L out there, lets see some engine bay pics.

I thought 91 and 92 didn't have the wiring for the cargo lamp? Anyways that's a pretty good score right there, course I wouldn't have thought of it as jewelry as its more functional than decorative.

You're gonna find that a lot of the pre-89's I did are gonna have an incomplete or inaccurate build sheet, partially why I never posted them.

Could be stuck on there really good. Give it a good couple blows and it should wiggle free. It all depends on how rusted it all is.

Actually I am with MJCARENA on the louver idea.

Better safe than sorry plus more capacity on coolant. May not be a lot but its more than stock.

I think Nickintimefilms did something like this to his XJ.

I only get the seatbelt buzzer in the run position. Nothing in on or off. I have tried that and still nothing, I have cleaned both door switches recently to rule out that the switch wasn't the problem. Like I said, I'm gonna replace the signal switch and see if anything changes.

I thought about that, they actually work as they should. There was a time when I was able to make the contacts meet on the signal switch and buzzed as if the key was in but it got old when the key wasn't in so I undid that. I think I will replace the signal switch and see what happens.

Alrighty gents. Something that's been bugging me since day one of owning little red. I put the key in with the door open and it never chimes. I had the black box and upgraded to the blue box, both buzzers worked for key-in(bench tested both buzzers). So I tore apart the column and found the little key thing missing. I bought a used one and installed it, still nothing. The only thing I can think of is replacing the whole turn signal cam/switch to remedy the problem but I feel it still won't. Hell for giggles I even installed a NOS ignition cylinder to rid myself of the GM cylinder I had just to see if that would work. I know when I first got her the PPO tore into the column for some reason which is why the horn never worked until I fixed it. I know it probably annoys some of you but those of you who have it functioning or got it functioning, what did you do to get it to work again? Thoughts?

But why go through the effort when the resources are readily available for a direct bolt in factory parts job?

Wow. I wonder how I missed this one.

I am pretty excited to do more with this project now knowing it won't cost me a fortune to replace the engine. Carb has been rebuilt. Now I just need spark plugs and hope it fires.

IMG_7462_Trim.mp4 Should work, let me know if It doesn't.

Oh F the hell yes!! The engine turns over gents!

Another 2.5L, awesome and welcome! As for that connection it would be something with AC, I know I have never seen anything like that under the hood of mine. You can always trace the wires and see where it goes.

Maybe it’s one of the Pennzoil trucks?
