Accessing the SGW

[rickinAZ]

On my EcoDiesel I use the Tazer extension cable to avoid accessing the SGW and its hellish location ever again. I'm considering buying a new MOAB, and what's holding me back isn't the $80K cost or the loss of fuel effiency (half of what I'm getting now), it's accessing that God-foresaken SGW deep in the bowels of the dash. I suspect not, but has any less painful way been determined? Modern man has made many worldwide technical advancements in the five years since I installed my extension cable, please tell me there is an newly determined alternative to this.

I'm actually thinking of making this part of the purchase negotiation: "I like that price, but throw in an SGW extension cable installation, and you have a deal"

I had my daughter do it. Smaller hands, more nimble, better eyes. Took her like a minute.

Pop a few plastic panels off and it's not that bad, and I have ogreish large hands.

I wear these when working under the dash. Holds the blood inside the glove while still giving you some dexterity

That appears to be something that claims to lock down your OBD port. Different topic, right?

I read it as an unlock OBDII plug in. Of course you still have to have authorized scan tools to access it. A Tazer Mini does this without needing any codes or authorization.

But if you start feeling frustrated put those down and have a beer.

I forgot to reinstall the SGW on the back of the pod when I installed my Quart Stage 6 system. So now It rides in my console and I plug it back in when I need to take the Jeep to the shop. Ireset the tire size and the TPM threshold with Jscan and the only thing I use the Tazer is for the ESS shutoff. Kind of extreme but it works,
