fiatslug87 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 So the volt gauge does not move at all? At least you know your alt is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High2by Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 The gauge dances a little but it’s all in the red area.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It worked before I made the changes in the truck but hey, when something goes bad, it just goes bad. Are they replaceable if they do go bad?

eaglescout526 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yes. Should be some screws holding it in place. You could always apply 12V to it and see what it reads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d suck if it had just decided to go out now if all times but better the gauge then anything else more important.

eaglescout526 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Guess its a good thing that style was used until 96. PS 3 left as NOS if the gauge really did go south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a Renix era dash gauge go bad. On my blue cluster, I had two bad gauges. Will see what I can come up with on your radio wiring. Would have been a lot easier if you would've used an adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see what I can come up with on your radio wiring. Would have been a lot easier if you would've used an adapter. I need to take a picture of the front of the factory radio that was in it. All the factory dash wires had been cut and spliced into that unit. I had to cut the wires to get that unit out. I would say the radio in it wasn’t the one that came in the truck because it had a mark on it like it came from a JY. The truck has aftermarket speakers and I bet it had an aftermarket radio but it was taken out at some point. The actual plug that went into the radio had wires taken out of it according to the wire diagram on the radio.

High2by Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Had a good day. Got the rebuilt steering box, new power steering pump and new hoses installed today. Also installed a 2.5 overflow bottle that I scored from the JY. It was beautiful today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High2by Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 I finally got around to installing my new battery cables and leads from Jeep Cables. They are quality and each cable is marked as to where it should go. Really easy to install.I now have the missing ground wire from the head to firewall.The kit came with a 150amp and a 200amp fuse. I used the 150 because I didn’t think I needed the 200 since I’m not running a winch or a ton of extra lighting.Anyway, not as much done today but a great day nonetheless.Here’s to working on Jeeps and enjoying the weather.

eaglescout526 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I like how Renix is just its own thing. Kinda odd they don't make kits for CJ's and SJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
