Re: Troubles with OBD II - HURRY
 

Over all the years I have been buying wires, the OEM ones from the
dealer are the best in my opinion.

I am running them on both of my Jeeps.

Re: Troubles with OBD II - HURRY
 

The trouble is, the dealership is closed and it's my friend's car stuck in
my garage. I bought some silicon wires that are pretty nearly the same
diameter as the factory wires, and they solved the trouble and they have a
life time warranty.

I have to agree that this is one of the few places where it pays to buy
parts at the dealership though.
