2005 Jeep Wrangler - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have a jeep tj 4.0 2005. When I try to start it
First, using a digital volt/ohmmeter, check the power at the main lead on the starter. It should read full battery voltage. If not check all connections at the battery and to the starter. Next, check the small trigger wire on the starter with the key turned to start. There should be 12v there as well. If not, Check the starter relay and the ignition switch. If you have 12v at the main wire and the trigger wire, replace the starter, providing that you can turn the engine by hand.
I can't tell you what has failed but I've just told you how I'd find the problem.
Good luck!!

Cruise control does not work on my skoda
The tachometer is the problem it's jumping causing the cruise control to not engage. Jeep can fix this problem in a day for you at a small fee of course. Unless you're a mechanic don't try this one alone.

0602 engine code
There is a programing era in the computer.If you have let the battery go dead,or have disconnected the battery,then the computer needs re flashed at the dealership.Loose or dirty battery cables could have done this also.

2002 wrangler gauges going out when i depress defrost switch
That definitely sounds like a short. If this started happening after the radio was installed, more likely than not, it's because they either spliced into the wrong wire or they nicked or cut the wire insulation, causing the short. You can look for yourself, just start at the defroster switch, and trace the wiring as far as you can go. Then do the same for the radio wiring. Somewhere along the line, you'll find the problem. Or take it back to Best Buy and make them fix the problem. I would advise caution on that though, as they can install a stereo, but that doesnt make them experts on automotive wiring. Best bet if you dont want to do it yourself, take the Jeep to a good garage or a dealer, have them find the problem, and if it turns out Best Buy caused it, take the bill for the repair and let them pay it.

How do i install the side steps
Are these factury or affter market, either way the factury onces fit better, I take it they are used, hence no instruction that comes in the package, best to get a copy from your Jeep dealer, they will help you,
just tell them they were a gift, no info with the box. GOOD LUCK, RDJRP

How to change transmission fluid in 2005 jeep
Most have a drain plug on the pan. to do a simple change, just remove the plug and drain it, then re-fill. to do a filter change, you need to remove the pan and the filter inside, remove all the gasket material (or it will leak) and put everything back together. There is no provision for draining the converter so if you want to do a better more complete change, drain from plug, refill, drive a few miles to circulate new fluid, then do a complete change with filter. You won't get it all out but a considerably larger portion of the old fluid will be removed.

Front end wobble at 50 mph or when I hit a bump or
Your tie rod nut needs tightning, the extra play causes the front end to vibrate or wobble your vehicle and sterring wheel.
look under the car where your steering wheel gear box connects to the tie rod, see if the nut and carter key have slop in it.
if so, take the carter key out and tighten the nut and then replace the carter key as it was.
the test it on some bumps and potholes.

The 4wd light stays on. I have tried pushing the
Light will not go out until the gears actually disengauge. Typically there is SOME preload on the gears and that keeps them engauged and light indicates so, correctly. To disengauge, move lever to disengauge and drive in left and right circles. This allows the front drive and rear drive to alter their relation in the transfer case, eventually allowing for release.
