    A pleasant surprise.... found the owners manual

    "Dude", like why I would I look for a thread on a hidden owners manual? Guess I'm just not as smart as you to deduct that if an owners manual is not in plain view in the glove box it must be hidden. :rolleyes: Sarcasm - It beats killing people! ----- there are meds for that Dude.

    A pleasant surprise.... found the owners manual

    First off why didn't you guys tell me the owners manual was concealed in a shelf in the glove box! :confused: Anyhow, I never knew that is where it was (thus why I spent $25 and bought one off of eBay) and to my surprise the previous owner had the Libby serviced religeously by the dealer who...

    Should I buy an 04 Liberty???

    I bought an 04 Sport with 35K in February and I love it! Only advice I'd give since you're buying used is to change out all the fluids for piece of mind that it is serviced correctly. I was able to do it all myself so it isn't a hard thing to do and it saves you a lot of money compared to...

    Rear-Diff 75W90 VS 75W140

    Going to drain the rear diff this weekend and a friend said I should use the 75W140 instead of the 75W90 even though I don't tow. His logic is that with gears the heavier weight is better and should keep the rear end quieter. The other point he makes is that people only tow a small percentage of...

    Installed my EVIC and get no bus error msg

    I just called a friend and got a floppy disk power connector with a few inches of wire (20g) off of an old power supply. My EVIC was a new one for an 06 Liberty so the connector looks different than the one shown in the EVIC install thread. I just shaved the sides and locking nub off the top and...

    Installed my EVIC and get no bus error msg

    My homemade connector.... The floppy drive connector off a PC power supply with 20g wire works perfectly with very little modification.... The lesson learned is if you don't want to spend the $ on a pre-fab cable listen to those who have done it before with success.

    Installed my EVIC and get no bus error msg

    Corwyyn, I have an 04 sport and am installing a new one from an 06. I know the overhead light pinout changed from a post in another thread so I am thinking they probably changed the EVIC pinouts too. I hooked it up as described in the EVIC thread: Left to right, power, ground, Fused B(+)...

    EVIC wiring overhead console part # 5166454AA

    Blu, I searched this board, and a few others, and read everything I could possibly find about EVIC's. I haven't exhaused every possibilty yet on the connector and will go with the floppy drive connector if I can't come up with something better. At this point I'm just gathering all the...

    EVIC wiring overhead console part # 5166454AA

    Just received a response from someone on an ebay forum that says the evic harness is only $90 new and the part # is 5166454AA. Can anyone confirm this is the entire set of wires and connector? Sounds way to cheap from what I read in other replies to similar questions.

    Need part# for a connector for an EVIC overhead console

    I've called around to every junkyard and even put a request out on one of those nationwide junkyard internet searches with no luck. I kind of find it funny that someone who owned a junkyard wouldn't be willing to cut one out and drop it in the mail for $25...... such is life. Guess I better...

    Need part# for a connector for an EVIC overhead console

    Greetings all! I just bought a brand new 06 overhead console for my 04 Liberty and of course it isn't coming with the pigtail/connector. I've read about using a pc connector but for the price I paid for it, dirt cheap :D, I figure I should spend the $'s and buy the real thing. Any help would...

    Where to get used parts online i.e. EVIC console

    I've been scouring the Internet looking for a site that sells used KJ parts and other than eBay I haven't come up with much. After reading the thread on the OTIS/EVIC overhead console I want to get one but would prefer to buy one for an 04 since that is what I have and figure it would be less of...
