I understand the frustration, believe me. I found this wire because it was plugged into the oil sending unit on my truck and I was wondering why my gauge didn’t work. It happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This morning was a good morning. Got the lower radiator hose replaced and put the new thermostat in. The temp gauge mows read correct. It runs right below 200* I have heat in the cab too, much more than I did have before. The old thermostat was a 195* but I didn’t think it was. It had two holes drilled it, I guess for air. My temp gauge runs normal. Not a good picture but you can see the gauge. Hopefully I’ll get more done tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually found the renix switch today in an old radiator. Your right theres no way that thing is gonna fit in the housing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate to put in a new radiator but I would like for the e-fan to work without having a toggle switch in the cab. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What would the difference be in the temperature at the t-stat housing vs the radiator location? Any? If there’s no difference would the Renix switch work in the t-stat housing? I ask because the radiator that’s in the Jeep doesn’t have the bung for the switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think there are any wires already in place, heck I don't even think the relay is there but I can run all new wiring if what I'm suggesting will work.

Am I thinking right though that I can use that switch in the thermostat housing to do what I need?

I am bringing this one back up. Answers 1) had a light now have a gauge 2) Sending unit has been swapped for a gauge Yes. My truck is a non AC truck and does not have an E-fan but I want to add one. The later model thermostat housings have a switch in them that can be used to turn on an E-fan once a certain temp is reached...as I understand it. Couple questions: The switch has two wires. One wire, not sure what color wire though, needs a power wire that comes from ignition. Second wire then would feed a relay that in turn would power the fan. Yes? No? At what temp does the switch trigger the relay? Thanks!

I thought it didn't look right. Thanks!! I'm keeping my eye out for one though.

Is that a stock sports bar?

Got another piece of the puzzle tonight. A new thermostat!!!! It’s the little things that mean a lot..... Now for good weather and no rain so I can get a work day on the ole MJ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doesn't look like the same wheel. That is some high shine right there. Nice!!

I had asked about it before and figured out that the solid red wire fed the under hood light but no idea what the red/white stripe wire was for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My power steering pump came in today. That was gonna be my next project to go through and update all the components. Now I’m just waiting on my ZJ gearbox to get rebuilt and sent back to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This morning wasn't a good morning for the MJ. When I went outside to leave for work it was 18*. It hasn't been that cold in a while. Anyway, Jeep fired right up no issues. Headed down the road and in less than a mile the temp gauge was up to 160 or so. Back story, when I got the truck it had the lights for the gauges and there was an aftermarket temp gauge mounted in the dash. The truck never ran over 160, ever. I just figured it had a 160* thermostat in it from the PO. I kept going and the gauge kept climbing. Once it hit 210 I turned around and headed back home because I knew something was wrong. I made it back home and when I pulled into my spot, something let go, steam and antifreeze was going every where. At this point I needed to get on to work so I jumped in the farm truck and headed on. I'm not sure what happened but all the antifreeze was coming from the drivers side. More back story, the PO had converted it from a closed system to an open system. It'll be dark when I get home plus 20* again so it'll be tomorrow or later before I can actually see what happened. My thought is the thermostat stuck closed then blew the lower hose out. I hope it's that simple....

I think that wire feeds an under the hood light but not sure where it originates from.

Nice find! One has a topper on it too. Wonder the plan is for them? The maroon one looks like it had been taken care of.

What a list. This is awesome! I need to find some dimmable LED's for the cluster. Thanks!

I got the windows tinted this week because I really like the look of tinted windows. I'll take some pics this weekend if it doesn't rain. I got a new radio in for it too and hopefully I can get that put in. No, it's not a factory radio, it's an aftermarket but that's ok with me. My truck's not gonna be all original like many are even though I do like the look of them. Just curious, has anyone put in replacement LED dash lights?

My trip to Moab in '13 was awesome. Would love to go back one day...

The dash!!

The cross member drop fits in nicely with the long arms.

Wonder if it works with plastic shakers....
