That’s a great little build you’ve got going on.

Found it, fixed it. Vampire (parasitic) draw test confirmed it was pin 10 in C1 to the rear door ajar sensor. No longer getting notification in the overhead and the lights go out when the door is shut.

It's what I have left. I've eliminated everything I can think of except a short on the sensor wire somewhere in the body of the rig between the door and the fuse panel. I know I've got some parasitic draw going on so here's what I'm thinking. Disconnect the C1 and verify that the parasitic...

Harness replaced in the doors with new units. Completely rebuilt the portion that goes through the door with all new wire. Going to test the pin out on the C-1 connector in the fuse block today. My suspicion is now the #10 pin that connects to the rear door ajar sensor on that side rear door...

Finished the body side splice today. Still thinks the back door is open. Man this sucks.

I know it's not a bcm reboot issue. Had the battery disconnected for over a month... What it really could be is the G301 ground by the driver's seat. I've just remembered that when this issue popped up, I'd just been standing on the door sill right by that ground taking my roof bars off...

So I've been fighting with mine to convince it that the rear driver side door isn't open... Replaced the latch in that door, replace the wiring harness in that door. Nothing helped. Found out that it may actually be the driver's door itself that's causing the error. Checked the wires where...

What are you guys using for the bar stock? Need to do one of these for my WJ.

I'll pull the battery to try the reset. Thanks!

Brand new latch unit, brand new wiring harness. It's driving me mad... And right after I got my rear storage system just the way I want it and loaded up with gear for a weekend away.

If that's the one built into the latch, I replaced that with a brand new one as well.

There were no splices to do, I swapped then entire wiring harness in the door. So plugged it in to the connector in the door frame and to the related door connections for latch/window/etc. Windows and locks still works, just thinks the door is open, so the lights stay on and I get the constant...

Alas, mine has developed the issue where it thinks the left rear door is always open. Replaced the latch, replaced the door wiring harness. Not fixed yet. There's a bad wire lurking somewhere between that door and home and it keeps killing the battery. The last 4 days I would have had this out...

They're shop fox 26" full extension. Got them from Amazon: Holding up fine. Since I'm really only ever out for a few days at a time, and I pack like I'm still in the infantry, my loads stay light and these are having no issues at all.

It's the 4.0 engine so it has that going for it. That 42RE tranny is the weak link, but it's never towed or been wheeled hard so it hasn't seen a lot of strain. The typical load on the vehicle is me, my daughter, a couple of kayaks and 2 days of camping gear and some fly rods...

That's a really good point. Most of what I hit now is within 50 miles or so. I'm lucky to live right on the Green Mountain National Forest boundary so I've got tons of what I like to do nearby. The Jeep being a grand cherokee is actually really comfortable since it only has a 2" lift on it. That...

The title says it all I guess. I have a lightly built 04 WJ that I use for weekends out in the local national forest. I use it to run forest roads and logging trails to get out to great camping and trout fishing spots. But, it is 15 years old. It was a daily driver for a decade and has 180k...

All put back together from the tank skid replacement. Nice to be trail ready again.

Great looking build you've got going there. I'm in an 04 WJ as well so I may copy some of your stuff as I work on mine!

Fuel tank skid plate and LED interior light replacement bulbs. Holy bright interior Batman! Now I can actually read a map at night using the map light.
