XJ Project Passenger seat swap
Happened upon an elusive passenger seat while at pick-a-part, matching upholstery and in great condition. Just had to swap the mounting brackets from powered to the original manual. Pretty quick and rewarding project.

    • @mreclectic3054
      @mreclectic3054 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Overall holding up great. Only small issue has been near both rear corners, a little separation, but I'm sure it is from being too lean with the adhesive in both areas. I pushed them back up with my hand, and they held the rest of the summer. Will probably need to be re-glued at some point, but not a problem so far. It had a real nylon flag when I bought it, which I tried first, but that did not adhere at all. The fibers on the blanket helped it tack/stick great, plus it's soft to the touch, and fairly customizable/unique, I get compliments pretty regularly, from law enforcement to teenagers. I've been pretty happy with it.

      Possibly, but I could not say for certain. I would use a multimeter or power-probe to test parts and/or connectivity. See if you have power going in/out of the module. A little research to find which pin supplies the power, especially out of it, put power to it and see if the motor comes to life. Mine was loosing functionality over time, seems like it would have eventually not worked at all, so there is a possibility your module has died. Let me know if that ends up being the case.

Getting the old bumper and hitch off is the hardest part, because of the rust. I will spray the heck out of the bolts with penetrating oil and let it soak for a week. Hopefully that will make it easier to get the bolts out without breaking them. Wish me luck. Fingers crossed.🤞👌🙂😂

      I have not had that issue, but I also have not drained the battery very low, around 30% is lowest I've had it I believe. I recently ran a heat gun off of it, which is the most draw I've put it through...it did it, but fan speed on the gun was noticeably reduced, and readout indicated it would only run it for 15 minutes (I used it for about 3). But still no low voltage issues. Try charging it, but if that doesn't work, you may have got a lemon.

    Intermittent wipers in your XJ are controlled by an " intermittent control module" located under the drivers side dash and attached with a Velcro patch.

    • @mreclectic3054
      @mreclectic3054 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for the information. It has taken me a minute to address the issue, partly because I had a hard time finding the part. The OE version of the module is no longer available, and looking for an alternative part online yielded nothing, surprisingly. After that I kind of learned to deal with it. But recently go married, and the wife has driven it a few times in the rain and made it clear how frustrating it was for her, not knowing or really wanting to learn the nuances of how to get by as I had been. So I was motivated to find a solution. A forum thread addressing the module said there were certain GM cars that had a compatible module, (very broad and therefore not very helpful), and a few years of grand Cherokee. This was more helpful, but still lacked specifics. Some people said they had done the “swap,” and even showed blurry pics, but did not specify the year of the doner vehicle or part number. Today I went to the salvage yard where they had 4 early model XJ’s like mine. The module was gone in all of them. But there were around 20 zjs, so I started looking through them. Found a module that looked like a match to the blurry forum pic in a ‘95. Ran me $8.50. Put it in soon as I got home, and voilà! Full functioning wipers and washer fluid. If not for your suggestion, I would have replaced the multifunction lever and been chasing wiring needlessly for who knows how long. You saved me a bunch of time and $, thanks again.

  • @MurdocMack

    what a journey this video was, I am so glad I watched it! My story is a little similar but I am having undervolting problems, not the overvolting like you were having. I am putting out about 9-10 volts on the gauge. My xj is a 1996 and I had the post style alternator on it and I switched to the 2 prong plug style like the later models have and I chose an alternator from a 2002 Durango. I am really hoping that this external regulator is going to solve my problems. I first thought that my new alternator was internally regulated but further inspection I saw that it is actually externally regulated so I am assuming that the computer is confused as to what is going on and I'm thinking I can just bypass the regulator in the pcm and add the same external regulator that you have. Let me know what you think!

    • @mreclectic3054
      @mreclectic3054 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe the externally regulated alternator started being used in the '91 or '92 model year. It seems those upgrading after that change occurred have had success. I saw one other TH-camr upgrade the alternator on his '89, which is the same as mine, but he didn't mention how he got it to regulate. I posted an update video just a few hours ago...this upgrade ultimately did not work, that video goes over the details. Consensus is that going from internal to external regulation was far more complicated than just adding an independent ex-regulator. That said, whereas your jeep already has an externally regulated system, the second ex-regulator I tried could work well for you. I say that because it came with a "field replacement module," which you may recall from the vid, the purpose of which is to trick your pcm into thinking it's still hooked up, when you have bypassed it using the independent ex-regulator, as I think you are planning to do. Instructions indicate it keeps the battery warning light off on your dash panel.
