Seems like a little sandpaper would be cheaper if that's all that's wrong with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wutangwisdom Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I hate ford don't trust anything they make even as simple thing as a relay sanding the ford logo off the relay (if thats what your saying) would just be polishing a turd imo. I doubt these 2 ford relays came stock with the jeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt these 2 ford relays came stock with the jeep CHeesh!! I've never cared much for Chrysler, but I bought a Jeep only a few years after Chrysler took them over. I can guarantee you that Ford did NOT make those relays. When you toss them have a look and they probably say "Made in China" .... the very same thing your new ones will say, regardless of "brand." But hell, if it makes you feel better ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 This is a set I pulled out of an 87 xJ I'm parting out. Hence my Tip #3?????? Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 From what bowels of hell did you pull that XJ from ... !?! Only my header harness plug was that bad and I swapped to the '00 harness plug when I did my header panel swap. I'm afraid to think what the rest of that vehicle is like.

wutangwisdom Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 89mj has 100% clean electrical connectors even the headlights.... I don't understand how but I'm glad its not all corroded green I think someone might have re done the wiring harness in mine at some point in its life but I'm not sure .

Marine1Texas Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have found, Every 5 years or so it is good to pull those relays and check all the connectors out around the truck. Little sand paper and some electric contact cleaner, there yea go. Owning a Comanche I find this is the only real problem is the electrical wiring and connectors. Mechanically not had any issues other then wear and tear replacement. These truck's last forever as long as you keep electrical in check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always look like that when they've never been refreshed in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
