My 98 Jeep Wrangler, does the same thing when it rains. It seems to drip slowly from up under, behind the glove box or trickle down by where the passenger foot area is. Below. It seems to have nothing to do with the jeep top. I copied and pasted a comment from another website addressing how to fix it. I'm going to try it. The "cowl" is the vent across the hood of the jeep at the base of the windshield. Good luck.

I just fixed mine.Remove windshield wipers(push clip down and pull off).At least on my 98'.Remove the hood cowl on the outside near the windshield. You need two people to do this if you don't want to scratch your paint removing it.Seal inside around the vent box on the passengers side.Also seal along the weld all the way across and especially where it is spot welded.I missed one spot weld and I got 2" of water in during a storm.Seal the water drainage vent directly under the hood vent too.I used a good clear silicone to seal mine.Make sure you clean it really good first and dry it out.That will keep you dry.I have no leaks finally.

Jeep Gauges don't work by dscottyg

My gauges in my 98 Jeep Wrangler work once in a while if it's really hot or cold outside, or if I hit a bump they'll work and then stop working a little while later. Anyone know a do-it-yourself way to fix this?

This is a problem early model TJs.
 
The search function on this site works really well.
 
Try searching "guages don't work" or "Dash goes out" or something like that.
 
You will probably find 100+ posts. There is a pretty easy fix. Some of the posts are more detailed than others.

Basically, remove gauge cluster (VERY easy), then clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol, then bend the contacts ever so slightly to ensure a good contact.
 
Before reassembling, coat with dielectric grease for a good solid connection.

2004 Wrangler Electrical Problem by cordovamike

2004 Wrangler, 75k miles. Running fine, stopped for 10 minutes got back in and will not start, electrical is dead. Gauges freak out, windshield wipers start really slow, starter won't turn over. Few minutes later wipers stop but system goes dead when you turn the key. Any suggestions where to start?

Either the battery has failed or is depleted due to a charging issue, or it could be a bad battery connection or cable.

Have you by chance installed anything (including body armor like rock rails)? Sounds like you have a short in your brake circuit. A friend had this EXACT issue and it turns out he cut his brake wires as he drilled holes for his rocker rails. Drill bit broke and was stuck between the wires.
 
Apply brake - ZAP! No lights.

rims too wide now i need wider fender flares by nworbekim
Jul 14, 2008 (2:59 pm)

i've had my eye one a set of rims for a couple of years now, and with the assistance of the economic stimulus check and a little bit extra, i was able to buy them along with a new set of tires...
 
problem? the tires now stick out about an inch past the 4" flares... i see a wider set in jcwhitneys, and a few in the jeep mags...
 
question? how difficult are they to put on? it looks like there's only a few bolts holding the flares on... but i can't tell about the stuff between the wheels below the doors... what holds them on?
 
do i have to actually remove that stuff? there's a pretty good set of running boards there that runs from the bottom rear of the front flare to the bottom front of the rear flare...
 
anyone point me to a website that shows stuff like this? or maybe another idea than wider flares?
 
by the way, the rims look awesome!!! the wrangler has a wider stance...
 
thanks!

i was told to look for a loose ground, it caused mine... funny thing, the loose ground was a broken ground wire to a side light? go figure, but when i spliced a piece into it, the problem went away...
 
perhaps it was a fluke? perhaps not? but its fixed now
