Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well went to my movable storage unit today,(ZJ) and there is a puddle of water on the drivers side floor, hoping it was my roof light wire letting the water passed the door seal ............................................
need to use the damn thing in 4wd that is , in anger ...
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
I agree, use is the best medicine for it :D
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well have worked out there is a leak somewhere as the water reappears after some rain :mad:
have also thrown a 2nd set of feet on her Bridgestone A/T's used but heaps of tread left, feels my nicer on the road and lots quiter and makes it look very domestic will get lots more mile's out of the M/T tyres
after having the tryes fitted lower my R/H rear window to let the inside air out after a couple of stops on the way home the dash didn't display any thing no rev, speed, oil,temp, fuel gauges working then the windows would go up :mad0090: had a dig around this Morning no fuses I can find blown :confused: so I now have a major issue as she sits outside and is going to rain for the next week currently have a tarp over the window and parked as close to a stack of bricks to reduce the amount of rain that can get to that side of the Jeep
does anyone have any idea what has gone bang in my wiring system ????????
off to MR Google this arvo ....
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Since so many things have been affected at once, I think you might have a ground issue where all those come together. Does the left had window work? Just a thought, thee is a fuse box on the right hand side in stateside ZJs accessible when the door is open. Just a thought there since I don't know where it would be on yours
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Hi Steve
Yes thats where my fuse box is as well, Started there pulled a few out to check them but look OK
where would the ground point be I need to look at?
Dr Google is pointing to it being a BCM ????
may have to borrow a workmates compter reader thingy did borrow it a week agon and the only falt was an o2 sensor
due to the rain nothing will be done this week...
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Yes, BCM would be the place to look. Also look at the fuse for it in the power distribution center (big fuse box)
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Ok couldn't find any blown fuses, bit the bullet and ordered a used BCM from the local dismantler $100 later it arrived at work on friday, once I got all the Jobs around here done and before it rained ..again I went to install the BCM went to move it nothing nada dead WT? :bang::bang: put the jump pack on nope it wasn't even reading the Battery.. 2.3 volt ?????????? Borrowed a friends older style jump pack fired up first flick of the key and the dash worked, so did the windows ........ :confused:
Any idea's
A friend has borrowed the Jeep as he wrote his wagon off on friday and everything is still working
I hate electrical issues and Jeeps this week ...........
Oh and it's still raining :banghead:
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Glad yo ugot it sorted out. The rain will go away, eventually :D
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Well got her back last week and since we are going to the section in her this weekend and petrol was 10 cent a litre off($2.219 a litre) I took her to town
still wandering at 100kms so it's not the tyres :bang: but a lot quiter on the road and still have apuddle on the drivers (right ) foot well am thinking it running down the A pillar as the carpet isn't wet from just above the floor level and could of been causing my electrical issue on a brighter note I have a spare BCM :rolleyes:
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well bugger all done recently
the water leak seems to be gone .......
still have a spare bcm
oh and road legal for another 6 months, for the last wof I was noted onthe left hand headlight was the wrong head light for NZ and I had too much play in the front link rods, due to me being a stubbon, pig headed person:D I didn;t change them and had no issue with my new wof guy:bacondance:
now to :xj-green:
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Wrong light for NZ? How do you do that?
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
it was going to the right? the same as you lot that drive on the wrong side of the road, :mel:
But as mine is a jap import and the previous owner wasn't that dodgy to fit the incorrect light I found it hard to believe, I had had the front grill out a couple of times :D I may of had it all twisted up
the wof guy didn't even worry about the bars nice that less stress
and on the shed front I am getting a 6 mtr x 7.2 long enclosed now :bacondance::bacondance:
and the house is looking good, on paper ... and a possible larger deck
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Sounds like not a whole lot to get her good to go with the inspection next go around... And sounds awesome on the shed/house front!!!
