    How to remove interior side panels for access to wiring?

    To update; It is pretty easy to go this route. The important thing is to remove the front panels first, since they overlap to the rear. Just pull up on the plastic door sill, and inwards at the front where the hood release is. It will pull forward from the next piece back. Then pull inwards on...

    Thank you. Is that the harness that comes up through under the rear floor?

    How to remove interior side panels for access to wiring?

    I looked at your link, and the kit they refer to shows a hot wire needed to the battery. I bought basically the same kit, although mine is a Curt. Maybe you missed the part in my post about NOT having OEM trailer wiring. If there is a hidden trailer plug, please enlighten me. Yes, I wish I had...

    How to remove interior side panels for access to wiring?

    I installed a 4 pin trailer wiring kit on my '12 KK. Since I did not have OEM trailer wiring I need to run a hot wire to the back. I'm trying to keep it looking "professional" so I'd like to run the wires under the carpets, with the harness that's already there. It appears that harness is for...

    Wheel bearing dead

    It would have been quicker and easier if you had read my post #3 and used that method. That's how we do it on the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. Pops them right out.

    Wheel bearing dead

    Yup, air impact wrench. Also clean those threads with a wire brush before running the nut off. You're going to need the brake caliper off anyway, might as well remove it now ang get a little more room to work. If you heat it you may need a new nut. Next issue, getting the bearing off, as it will...

    So, I picked up my "new" Jeep from the inspection station...

    Hooray. Swapped #1 and #5 coil, code changed to p0305. I'm getting new coils, I'll just replace them all, along with the plug wires.

    So, I picked up my "new" Jeep from the inspection station...

    I pulled a battery cable off, waited 15 minutes, reconnected, started it up, no light. Shut down and restarted, no light. Put it in reverse to back out for a test drive, dangblasted check engine LIGHT!!!!! Key on off 3 times, P0301 code. I think I'll grab a compression tester, and either a...

    Yeah, there was moisture in all of them.

    Do I need to clear the p0301 code. or will it go away on it's own?

    So, I picked up my "new" Jeep from the inspection station...

    The saga continues..... All new plugs, runs better, but still rough, check engine light still on, p0301 code still present. No O-rings on any coil pack. So, at this point, replace coil packs (I'll just do them all) or do a compression test to check for mechanical fault? I know some of these...

    I looked over the maintenance records, and there's no entry for a tuneup, or replacing plugs, so I'll start there. If I pull plugs just to look them over, I'll only check gap if they look like they might be off.
