Mystery solved. Turns out it was there, but someone cut the wires for it. I have no idea why. This was my father's car since it was new. He doesn't remember much about anything post-1985 these days, so I guess it will forever remain a mystery! So, we tapped a line for the headlights instead...

I just installed a Boss BE7ACP-FT head unit in my son's KJ. It seems great so far, but with one weird thing: when the screen is supposed to dim when the headlights are on (the "illumination setting" on), the screen flickers annoyingly between dim and fully bright. One of the troubleshooting...

Thank you, Michael! Sorry, when I followed the link in the thread I thought it was only for the whole kit and didn't look carefully enough to see that I can get the pulleys separately. Will do. Thanks so much for the quick (re)response!

Did you ever find a replacement or crossover part? I have the same problem and cannot find these anywhere but England (~ 3 week shipping time). The part # I have is 68211444aa and I was hoping that there's some alternative or substitute that would be more commonly available? The pulley is...

I ordered something on Amazon and now that I see your post I am hoping it's not total crap. Wrecking yard sounds like just plain fun anyway!

Thanks so much! It's great to know there are a couple of yards not too far away that have good stuff. I have ordered something from Amazon. Hopefully, it's not total crap. LKQ sounds like a good visit for a few odd-and-ends. Thanks again!

This is frustrating. I need the thing that is in the drivers-side front wheel-well that lines it (being from Philly, if I were younger I would call it the "Jaun" but I'm not so I won't). I think it's this part...

Turblediesel, Thanks! So, it sounds like maybe someone might have disabled the EGR at some point in the past? I hadn't considered that possibility, but my father might have agreed to something like that at some point if it were suggested. I'll try to figure out if that was done. Christine

Our '05 CRD that my father bought new in '05 had the Check Engine light lit when we got it from him. My dad tells me that a mechanic told him a couple of years ago that "those are always lit on the diesels, just ignore it" and so he did. He says it never ran badly or exhibited any symptoms of...

Well, I started the job but my husband finished it. So, the pictures became my contribution as it was coming together! But, I know how it goes, when I get into doing something I never think to take pictures. A lot of times I end up with a "before", a "first steps", and then an "after" and the...

Sorry, I didn't take the greatest photos. The hose clamp is holding on a metal piece that attaches to the stock adjuster. Where the old lights had a plastic thing that extended from the top of the light to attach to the adjuster, these lights came out of a different kind of assembly and are...

Thanks! The foglights are nice and bright, but most importantly it's a light that spreads wide (you can see to each side of the car in front) and stays low, close to the front of the car. Here are some photos of the lights on. The blinking turn signal is an animated GIF, so the timing is a...

I had a cracked foglight and thought I'd take the opportunity for an upgrade to LED foglights. I mistakenly thought that JK lights I picked out on eBay would be a direct fit and picked out a foglight that had the halo ring and nice LED foglights. Clearly, if you compare those lights and the...
