The tiny compression line thats right near the heater hoses going into the firewall was broken (its a solid not flex line) used shrink tubing. Cut the line fed it into the shrink tube and took a lighter and melted the line to my solid tube. Voila job done. Sometimes your lucky to find a simple fix...
Thank you Mr.White,I was having same problem last year when i pulled my Jeep out of the barn last spring.I now have something to look for.(PS my last name is also White!)

Today had the 2 oil seals changed plus a small piece on my locker had broken which I had changed. A job not interesting to be doing on your back in a drive way. As the saying goes J-Just E-Empty E-Every P-Pocket.. not far from that.. :)

Another upgrade I won at a CJRS party a set of L E D lights a little while ago, installed this weekend on the fender,wired direct to battery with fuse and relay. They are bright and great for those little skinny roads and night trailing

Smile Re: What did you do to your TJ Today?

Looks like I am the only person doing updates/grades to their TJ. Well another gadget went into it.
OBD2 ELM327 WiFi vehicle computor readers after downloading the "free" app of Torque. Delivered to the
house for under $20 (Ebay) It does say Bluetooth or WiFi.. I couldn't get it to reconized either my phone nor tablet
on Bluetooth but it did immediately on WiFi. Great little gadget cleared the annoying Engine lite again. code
PO155 02 oxygen sensor (bank 2 senor 1)
You may wonder why I just cleared the code PO155 and not say replace the sensor... its a wasted cost as what is happening
is the gas cap gasket gets dirty or is not clicked enough of times, so as soon as I do this the code ends up on the computor, I
just clear the code and drive on it does nothing to the running of the vehicle.

Up again... Today after my Wed. McDee group run parked my TJ and those DRL stayed on....
Try to find the correct breaker or fuse is quite impossible even with the diagram...Thanks to
Oldfart who found it on the net to tell me what the module looked like. Found it and disconnected
it... so no more DRL's but low and high beams work...Cost for a new one in the range of $100.
Mopar 56004262 or Dorman 704-304
Circled in red is the module
