| starting problem HomeBrewer 01:26:14 |
| | Jeep in question is on my site below. 85 cj7 with a 304 from a 76. I googled the archives and found a bunch of similar problems listed, but mine is a little different. I got the jeep running yesterday and went driving around town. After a few stops I picked up the kids at daycare. With them both buckled in the rear seat I turn the key and get a slow groan and then a click. I think, hmmm, that new optima battery is crap, not worth the money like the guys on the ng said. Then I look at the volt meter it's at 13. I get a guy to jump me and after letting the thing charge for several minutes I get the same click. Lights are strong, volts now at 14+, everything electrical works.
I start looking under the jeep and found the lower starter bolt was loose and I think, hmm the starter is jammed...I tighten the starter, and try it....click. I bang on the starter with a hammer....click.. The kids are getting restless, I rock the jeep back and forth in gear to try and turn the flywheel .....click. I finally give up and get a ride home. I return with my truck and tow the jeep home. Luckily I had the tow bar already in place on the jeep.
Today I remove the starter from the jeep and lay it on the front spring, turn the key and...click. I replace the relay on the inside front fender with an old one I had laying around....click. I completely remove the starter from the jeep, wiring and all and still get the same ....click. I had thought the "click" was the solenoid pushing the starter gear into place, but I guess not since the starter is now gone and the click is still there. What is the click? Oh yea, the volt meter drops to below 0 when I get the click.
All battery cables are new, the battery and starter is new, connections look good and tight. I'm going to check the ground strap from motor to frame tomorrow. I don't have a strap to the firewall like some, but I'm thinking of adding one. Also, I am taking the starter to get tested and/or return it. I hope that is it, but by reading some of the archives, I kind of doubt it. Any other suggestions?

| | What taxpayer's list says I?
Bill replies with another lie:
That's Vancouver Tax Payer's list! Sorry, Bill. There is no such beast.
Since you never lie, ever, why don't you tell us to what you are referring here, ummmmm?
I guess since you have no more real privacy in the late US of A, you've probably never heard of our "Right To Privacy Act"*.
Or a lot of other things. Like 'door', 'closet', 'decency', humanity', and stuff like that.
Probably can't even list the names of your various g*ds, even though TD keeps giving you a partial list of the Biggies.
When ya gonna clue us in as to which ones they are, eh Bill?

Opinions?
Thanks.

You're blocked by everyone, and since Usenet adapts to its ever-changing conditions, all you've really accomplished is to increase the retention of the groups.

| Today's trip to the dealership Usenet User 22:59:16 |
| | We went to the Jeep dealership today to talk about buying an Unlimited. Wife has had Jeeps for years and wants the 4-door version now since we sold her Wrangler yesterday.
I've been friends with the sales manager there for years. He said business in very slow and they have cut back on their inventory. He said he has talked with other dealers in the area and they are all feeling the pain. Most of the dealers he has spoken with are not ordering hardly any 2009 models since they are not getting any help from Chrysler to move the 2008's.
I was reading one of the trade mags while I was there and it said Chrysler is up for sale and the investors want out now.
These guys at Chrysler have no idea how to run a car business. They need incentives and given the state of the economy, we're not buying another Jeep without some incentives.
You have to wonder what the long term survival possibilities are for Chrysler and Jeep in particular. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **

| What did I cook? Scott in Baltimore 22:23:18 |
| | This is a '97 Wrangler TJ SE.
I was running an RF amp and producing from 500 to 700 watts of FM on 29.600. It's grounded to a seat bolt. Bad move, I know. Anyway, I figure I'm drawing about 100+ amps of power, the alternator is whining, and I smell something cooking. I figured I finished frying the output combiner. No big deal...
Well now my brake lights don't come on. The parking lights work, the reverse lights work and the blinkers work. Everything else electrical I could think of to test still works! Just no brake lights! I checked the fuses and the bulbs, cracked the mounting screws in the tail lamps, and no lights.
Any ideas? I'm printing out 236 pages of wiring diagrams from a '99 service manual I found on the net somewhere to look over.
TIA -Scott

| Re: Pole... RoyJ 09:58:02 |
| | With some gentle warmth and persuasion, you should be able to work most of that dent out. Use some buffing or rubbing compound to get the scratches under control, maybe shoot some rattle can clear coat over the top.
As for the metal, it's hard to say if that needs to be straightened or not without a much closer look at the related components. A lot of times it doesn't make any difference.

Hi All, So, I took the wife and kid out for ice cream tonight, and I backed into a pole. Right in the stupidest place in the middle of the parking lot. The people who worked at the ice cream place said somebody hits it almost every day. Anyway...I'm trying to decide whether I should just buy a new plastic bumper at the Jeep dealer and swap it out myself, or if I need to bring it in to an auto body shop. The plastic bumper cover looks like this: That much should be pretty easy to replace. My concern is that underneath the plastic cover, the metal bumper is bent a bit: Does that little bend matter much? Would an auto body shop be able to straighten that out anyway? Thanks, Tom |

Aw. fer Gird's sake, Hughes, you couldn't soar if you had 8 Pratt & Whitney jet engines and 4 JATO units strapped to each flabby hip.
Soar! Hah! You're a 350-pound lardass, as aerodynamic as a city bus and about as powerful as a Moped.
You can't even leap a Dorito with a single bound.
Plus, you've got it backwards: in your case, it's 'soar like a turkey when I'm surrounded by eagles'.

But I will thank you for the best laugh I've had this year!

I noticed no help from you, I'll let you have the head injury as an excuse. Injury? Doubtful.
You on the other paw, can't have a head injury unless you get hit with something strong enough to damage concrete currounded by titanium steel...

I put your IP: 24.86.20.48 right on that page:
Grid Awmighty, Hughes.....
You don't even qualify as a half-wit.
You didn't 'enter' my machine, you imbecile. What little information you got there doesn't even come from my computer, it comes from my ISP.
Both TD and The Doc are right; every time you open your flap, you prove how incredibly stupid you really are.
And I swear, you're getting more stupid by the day.
You're mind-boggling.
It just doesn't seem possible that anyone could be this totally stupid.
