Re: CB Radio or PRS - Update
 

I had gone through a hole in the firewall towards the steering column and
tried to completely avoid all electronics. Then I actually did exactly the
same as you say and went out from the right side door (driver side) around
the front and then onto the battery from top (and bottom) of the left
fender to get to battery, the problem remained.

I know it sounds really weird and I do appreciate your input, it just did
not work any other way. I have done searching on the internet and some
other TJ owners have had similar problems with taking the power directly to
the battery. It is working now, so I'll stop playing with it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply,
TW

Well it did work straight to the battery as long as the engine was not
working. Turn the key and I could hear the fuel pump, relays and then the
rest of it all just turned to custard. I think all Jeeps have a
personality chip installed in them and thats why they all act so
differently from each other.
