@@tattoolasseigne5810 This is a great comment/input, thanks! I wish I’d have thought of or found this before I made the mistake that shorted my TJ PCM. I don’t have the Jeep anymore but I’d definitely have given this a go. Hopefully someone sees this and can make use of it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

So glad it helped you out! Mine's still running strong on the same repair I made in this video. Thanks for watching.

@@raiderznation Rock solid and smooth. No issues, noises, problems, tears, etc.

Great input and comment, Jerome. I totally agree and you'll see that in my later videos, after I learned the hard way, I do encourage folks to clean bolts and even chase threads. Thanks for watching and I'm glad the video helped.

@@eniocontreras6110 From the research I did 3 years ago, it’s most likely the relay (that you’re soldering back into the board) that’s faulty. There’s a link in the video description for a video on replacing the relay that I think goes into more details. It’s been 3 years now since I made this video and the dryer is still working great. But if it dies again like this, I’ve already bought a new relay and will replace it. Thanks for watching.

@@jorbedo Thanks for watching.

@@davidreyes462 Thanks for watching, David.

@@mikeprodanov6765 Glad you got it! I agree - for “just two bolts,” it can take a lot of frustrating effort. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, Anthony. Do you know for a fact that the high beams SHOULD stay on with the jeep off and the key out? I don’t have my TJ anymore so can’t check. I can foresee where high beams may just not stay on with the key out to save battery. The multifunction switch does indeed control the high beams off/on but I just can’t directly answer your question on whether that’s actually the issue. Sorry.

@ thank you 👍

Thanks, Steve! Too right they were toast! I was shocked that the driver's side was so bad. Neither side was making any audible noise while driving and with the tires on/on the ground it was really only the passenger side that had any play. Obviously something I should have been inspecting WAY sooner.

You got it - it's the 3.8L V6. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

@@youtubemademecreateanewcha6965 Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching.

@@1911nutJMB Oh man, thanks so much. I really appreciate the feedback. I’m glad the videos are helpful, even though they’re definitely not the shortest on the TH-cams.

Check out the video description for the deets but the TCM replacement "fixed it" for about 7 months before it came back. And then the car was totaled (link to video in description) so I'll never know if I'd eventually have solved it. Thanks for watching.

I'm glad it is helpful. Thanks for watching and the feedback! 😀

@@ashlaunicaalpari4584 I’m glad the video helped and it went well! I hope this solves the issue with your Town & Country. Thanks for watching.

@@jasonscharf97tj Gosh, good question, Jason. I didn’t notice anything wrong with my hubs, to be honest. When I took the Jeep to the shop to balance the tires, they pointed out the bad axle u-joints and mentioned that since I need to replace the wheel speed sensor and sensors cost about the same as hubs, might as well replace the hubs instead of just the sensor. (And do both hubs at the same time to keep constant wear.) Reason was that the factory hubs had over 100k miles and might be failing - it could be why the sensor failed. To see if yours have been previously replaced, best I can think of is to look at the bolt heads of the hub bolts. If they’re not factory 12-point anymore, clearly they’ve been replaced. If the 12-points are rounded it would mean the bolts have been worked on since the factory. Sorry I don’t have a great answer but I hope it helps a little. Thanks for watching.

Thanks makes sense I'll check it out you always teach me something !

@@spacemankills2632 You’re right. The first thing I’d have to do is replace/upgrade the head unit with something that has CarPlay. I ultimately decided to not do that and thus don’t/can’t use the adapter in the van.

@@AandWProductions Good catch! Sounds like a crossover from work snuck through the cracks. Thanks for watching.

@@pcconsultingdfw1640 I’m so glad the video was helpful and I’m glad you were able to get it out! Thanks for watching.

@@rigodiaz01 Keep in mind that I got one that was preprogrammed with my car’s VIN. I didn’t have to do anything with mine other than plug it in and start the car. Mine was the base model though so it didn’t have a security system; I had no trouble with the key fobs though.

tell me what the problem is, thanks

You just need to pull it really hard/firmly. It’s in there pretty tight. And pushing the new one in can be tight too. Be sure to check that it works before you put it all back together. Good luck! Thanks for watching.

My guess is that your rain water drain under your cowl is blocked and water is filling up under your cowl and spilling into your fan. Take your cowl off and inspect/clean under it. I talk about that from 4:25 to 6:00 in the video. If that’s all it is, way easier than cowl seal - and free! Good luck and thanks for watching. Here’s a video of what a clean drain should flow/drain like: th-cam.com/video/AEsm8os-F3U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TgnsSW66FVPJ79RQ

@@jediagh Excellent! Congrats! Glad this video was helpful. Thanks for watching.

@@jettexpress123 Thanks for watching, Jett! I don’t own the TJ anymore but I made something like 70 videos with it. My email is in my “about” on the channel if I can help some way. Also check out @ForceBuilt. He’s got a ‘97 TJ as well with lots of good videos on it.

@@nathansotir5633 Thanks for watching.

@@Mermaidlife97 Great insights. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.

@@CarbonsDIYGarage thank you & yw, I just know how weird they can act and mine def does 😊

@@jasonscharf97tj Thanks, Jason! Me too. Always learning…

Thanks for watching; here are some thoughts. Coolant temp sensor issues could affect your gauge reading, the fans running, and could lead to a check engine light. On these cars it was never clear to me if the gauge runs off the sensor that I mess with in this video or if there isn't some other sensor in the system that it's looking at. The fact that the fans kick on when you disconnect the sensor might be a car auto-response. If the car thinks the sensor is "failed" it might turn on the fans to do all it can to cool the coolant since it's not sure what the temperature is. The one thing the sensor doesn't do, though, is actually manage the fluid flow to the radiator. That's done through the mechanical thermostats. Even with a failed sensor, if both thermostats are working properly, you should have warm/hot fluid at the radiator (after it's run long enough to be at operating temperature) and the heater core. If you're getting heat from the heater core but not getting hot fluid to/from the radiator, my thought is that your thermostat is at least partially stuck closed, or not opening at all. But then I'd think that your engine temp would be going up because you're not getting coolant flowing to the radiator. You might try letting it idle for a good long time, or do some driving (close to home) to see if you can get the temp to go to half or above half on the gauge. With the heat on, you're using your cabin air as a way to cool that coolant off. Next step might be to replace both thermostats (or at least the main thermostat). It's possible that there was debris in the new radiator and it is jamming up a thermostat (or both). Long answer, not sure it helped, but looking forward to your report on the results. Good luck!

@ I was just watching your other video on changing the entire thermostat housing assembly , so I think that’s the next course of action for me. I can’t understand why everything worked just days ago, and all I did was swap the radiator and now all this other sht happened. Oh well. I just swapped the coolant temp sensor today, but my coolant hoses are still cool to the touch, and the temp gauge barely gets to 1/4 mark. My check engine light is still on. I believe the coolant temp sensor does control the fan operation, but if my coolant can’t get hot enough , then the fans won’t engage, so it’s GOTTA BE the damned thermostat. I am just gonna replace the whole housing and both thermostats. There’s a kit you can purchase , as you know. A single thermostat is $22, but the whole housing assembly kit with both thermostats is $30, so why not? If this doesn’t work, this car is going to the bottom of the river. Anyway, I truly appreciate the quick response. Many channel creators don’t bother to follow up with answers to viewer questions, so again, it’s appreciated. I will post updates, so maybe it’ll help the next guy.

@@ecto1996 Replacing both thermostats and the housing makes sense to me as well. Doing just 1 thermostat still requires most of those same steps so might as well just do the whole thing new since there's so little price difference. Coolant cost is the biggest expense! (I hate coolant.) I hear ya about 'bottom of the river.' This car was a real pain sometimes... I hope the repair goes well and no more problems for you. And glad to be able to at least give you (and others) my thoughts. Def. not a mechanic (disclaimer, etc.) but the whole point of the channel is for other DIYers to learn from those who've done it so I'm glad I'm able to follow up! And thanks for contributing to the channel as well.

@ I’m no mechanic, but I know how to turn a wrench. I’ve been working on cars since I was a kid, holding flashlights, fetching tools for my grandfather and uncles. Being with them for hours , helped me learn things, but I still need help sometimes. Biggest issue for me is throwing money at a car repair, spending hours on it, only to find that the problem still exists. Anyway, thanks for the help. Youre video is on this topic is probably the most detailed , and understandable on YT. I just ordered the part. Should arrive in a day or two. Thanks again

Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and good luck with the fix.

@@atsila_one Yes, definitely. Well, I think the AI Box works with Android Auto as well but your radio would need to have Android Auto already.
