Video shows surprising resolution to dash & center stack electrical gremlins

[BigMaCro]

There is a great new Youtube video, that is basically an after-action report detailing the steps, and mis-steps to resolving dash electrical gremlins. It may be on a Gladiator, but certainly applies to similar issues on Wranglers.

What is unusual, is that he admits to his frustration and mis-steps taken over months before finally finding the relatively simple solution. He seems to have tried everything that we internet pundits have advised, including:

• tighten battery terminals
• Aux battery replacement
• Aux battery removal
• reseat fuses
• remove fuse box to check for bent pins on connectors
• replace z-case fuse
• replace CANbus hub
• replace star connector hub
• replace center stack switch panel

And, most humiliating of all - taking it to the dealer.

it may be from a former forum member that shall not be named, but he's very candid and humble in this one, well worth a watch.

Custom parts and mods create custom problems. That would be a very frustrating thing to chase down and deal with. This goes to show that you really should never under estimate how many problems a wire or connector can create.
