so i'm trying to figure out my issue here and maybe someone can shed some light on this cause i'm sick as hell of it...
:emotions122:
so about 5 months ago now i replaced my rear axle as a whole (long story involving a broken upper control arm and a 300 mile drive to get home that had to me made) and didn't replace the speed sensor on the top of the diff (i've been told it dictates speed output and engine idle). i've never had an issue with it cutting out til after i did a little 2 tracking after my axle swap. after i got out of the mud and rain i didn't have any speedo input. never the less having needed to get home i had to drive without it, within 5 or so miles it came back and didn't have an issue for a while..
now!!!! within the last month or so it's been randomly cutting in and out. it'll startout working then cut off. if i go for some time it'll come back on sooner or later and then be fine til i stop for a while again. i don't know if time or temp have anything to do with it as it seems too random to be that.
thinking it was my wiring to the sensor on the diff (thumbing through the pages here it seems to be rather common to have the wires open or short out due to rubbing and bending) so i crawled under and rewired from the grommet to a new connector i bought from my local jeep dealer. NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. i try not to be a parts changer but just for good measure i installed a new speed sensor as well but that hasn't helped either.
IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY HELP ME!!!
i'm running low in ideas as to what it could be aside from i blew out an input on my ECU or whatever the sensor leads run to. i haven't looked up the schematics just yet.
if you feel i left anything out or have an idea please please help.
thanks
Donn
