Re: Replacing back light in overhead console ('05 Liberty)
 
Hi Kate,

It had 9 miles on it when we got in February '05. It now has 49K on it.
Warranty was up 13k ago. Wasn't any power train warranty beyond that (was on
the '05 RAM though). I doubt it's a fuse as only the two left buttons aren't
lit. A friend who works for a jeep dealer gave me the scoop on how to get
the housing loose. I saw an '07 Wrangler Sahara the other day I'd like to
have. But I am sick of making payments. Gonna pay the truck and the Jeep off
and be happy for a while! :) Thanks to you and everybody for the replies.

The '05 Liberty has 3yrs/36k miles "bumper to bumper" and 7/70k on a
limited drive train warranty ($100 deductible). If that vehicle has less
than 36k miles I would certainly take it to the dealer. My '04 Wrangler
has over 36k miles and I just got a new drive shaft and U joints for
$100. Too bad the '07s are just 3/36 only. :-(

Funny, my 05 Libby had a 7/75 and I bought the extended.
When I traded it in 6 months later I got the price of the warranty back.

On my Rubicon, I got the extended too... I may never need it, but if I
do....

Hi Ed!
Glad to hear you got some useful information from a friend.
Hope it works out for you...
BUT
I say... since you'll be making payments for awhile anyway, what the hell,
trade it in on the Sahara.
I hear on the radio they're offering 0% financing right now. That's how I
got mine. Every penny goes straight toward the balance. Only 3.5 years to
go!
I can't even begin to tell you how much more I like the Wrangler than the
Libby...
