Re: '97 TJ Door Removal & Dead Battery
No need to be sorry to be jumping in, welcome to here Mike. This is an
interesting thingy. From the picture and the words, I just cannot figure
out what exactly it does. I also would want to know if the
I-left-the-headlights-on tinkle bell problem is fixed by this, as it is
unreferenced. Anyone familiar with this item?

It replaces the mini fuse with a switch and an inline fuse.
ON-normal
OFF-no lights, no tinkle
I'm wondering if I should build one. It's so simple, why didn't I think of it?
I guess because I don't miss the fuse not being there. I'd install it and
probably leave it off anyway. I remember pulling that fuse in my rented Jeep,

Re: '97 TJ Door Removal & Dead Battery
