#23108 of 23220 Rear Brake Light (above spare) non functional by shamokin Jul 21, 2008 (8:05 pm)
2000 Wrangler; 50,000 miles on it.   Was rear ended a year ago. Damage repaired. However, I noticed the brake light was non fuctional. I returned to the shop that repaired the damage. They got the light working. They advised that, if the problem happens again, I was to make sure that the two pins in the door were extended and in contact with the two pins in the frame. When the light became non-functional, I pulled the pins out of the frame and inserted a test light as a probe. It feels like there is nothing in these holes.   My question: is there a switch or something that may have not been attached properly when the vehicle was repaired that may have become disconnected from the frame? How does one get behind to reattach? From under the vehicle or in back of the paneling?   The bulb and fuse for the circuit are functional.

Replying to: shamokin (Jul 21, 2008 8:05 pm) No switch... just button connectors. Should have 2 on your TJ tailgate contacting 2 button-looking things on the tub. if you hvae nothing there, they may have fallen out, though I'm not sure how - they are pulled out in the direction of the tailgate...   -Paul Replies to this message: shamokin (Jul 22, 2008 8:39 pm) erickpl (Jul 23, 2008 5:58 am)

Replying to: erickpl (Jul 22, 2008 5:06 am) Button connectors are there, and you can pull them out. How do the buttons on the tub get their power? Tester does not light, and, when the buttons are removed, there does not appear to be any electrical connections.   BTW, thanks for your help on this one.

I switched to that policy for Thelma Jane, since I can very easily stay below 7500 miles per year on her.   Saving $120 per year on insurance for one vehicle isn't huge, but it's better than a stick in the eye, right?   Tom

Replying to: shamokin (Jul 22, 2008 8:39 pm) There's your problem. Those buttons get power via wiring behind the passenger rear tail light. 2 wires feed those buttons. My guess is that they got cut somehow. You can remove the trim piece at the bottom (plastic 'bolts') and reach up there and connect em. You may need to expose some wire and reattach em.   I deactivated mine when I did LED tail lights and put my 3rd taillight on a swingaway tire carrier. But I left the buttons and such in place.   -Paul
#23113 of 23220 4.0 I6 2000 WRANGLER RUNNING A CARB by grcooper Aug 04, 2008 (5:43 am)
I have a 2000 tj with a 4.0 I6, automatic. Can I remove all the electronics and put a carb and distributor on it. I want to run propane in it. If so what HEI can I used and do I have to do anything to the transmission.Thanks Gary Replies to this message: mac24 (Aug 04, 2008 6:08 am)
#23114 of 23220 Re: 4.0 I6 2000 WRANGLER RUNNING A CARB [grcooper] by mac24 Aug 04, 2008 (6:08 am)
Replying to: grcooper (Aug 04, 2008 5:43 am) Yes, it could be done, though I'm not sure why you want to complicate things by replacing the ignition and injection components. Propane injection is relatively simple and can be done through the throttle body. I suggest you do a little research on propane conversion manufacturers, though I'm not aware of a kit specifically for the 4.0 I6. Most conversion kits are fairly generic though.   To answer your original question, the I6 is virtually unchanged from when it used to have a carb as standard. The carb didn't work well though, and a kit to add fuel injection was a popular conversion (and is still available today). So yes, a carb and distributor is a simple swap from an earlier model.

Replying to: steampower (Aug 20, 2008 8:43 am) Sure I remember you, Chief. You were so kind to me when I lost my Rossie Pup.   Glad you have that new Jeep.   Stick around.   Tom Have you hugged your Jeep today?
