I like this idea.

Wish I'd found this before the Autopian had.

Impressive! And so clean!

Nicely done!

Looked pretty good until I saw the roof that looks like a tree fell on it. Also, interesting mods under the hood.

The switch assemblies are surprisingly cheap. As much as you hate it, just replace the assembly and be done.

Interested.

When we swapped from BA 10/5 to AX15 we tried fabricating a linkage, that didn't end up working too well so we purchased a new linkage which works great. A quick search came up with this. https://shorturl.at/79r2u

For those of us that need a little help with electrical diagrams

I just recently did this on our '97 XJ. A YouTube video recommended Switch Doctor brand replacement part and it's worked well so far. They are surprisingly inexpensive. To be honest, I don't know how much of the issue was the switch or the broken ground in the door hinge, but I went ahead and replaced the switch (and fixed the ground and the check strap). I was able to buy the drivers door switch separately in June, but on Amazon and the Switch Doctor website, I'm currently only seeing the 4 pack for all of the doors. https://shorturl.at/kJRDB Pretty cheap to buy all 4 though. And there are other brands that sell just the drivers door switch. One warning though, the Mrs. discovered last weekend that Simple Green cleaner takes the paint off of the switch... When researching this repair, I did find several people said it's the window lock button that goes out first on these switches and a few people bypassed the window lock and continued to use the same switch. This wasn't a viable option for me, so I replaced the switch, but it might be something to look into for you.

Love it! I'd love to get my hands on an LJ. More than a little jealous. Nice job!

Thanks for that feedback. That helps for what to try next.

That's essentially what I did. There were no hoses attached anywhere when flushed so didn't do the heater hose loop you mention though. Heater core and block were flushed separately, in both directions, more than one time.

Great story about how you got that MJ
