JPN, Thanks for your reply. If by lights you mean dash lights, they go off when key is turned to off. And, there are definitely 2 clicks in switch when turning key; on & start. Oldchief

My '05 TJ, 6 cyl, 6 spd transmission , 73k miles, has always run great. However, went to start her the other day and NOTHING! Battery checks good. When you turn key to on position all lights, radio, blower fan, all work fine. But when I turn key to cranking position, nothing happens. No...

'05 JEEP WRANGER X TJ, Willys Edition '05 JEEP WRANGER X TJ, only 73k miles, VIN verified rare factory "Willys Edition" trim, , 4.2 ltr in-line 6 cyl engine, 6 spd trans, A/C, tilt & cruise, AM/FM radio with CD player. 2" suspension lift and almost new tires. Has both factory hard and soft...

I installed my'98 factory hardtop on my '05 TJ by myself. I think putting one on might be easier 1 person job than taking one off. Weight wasn't all that much...I'd say maybe 100 lbs but it's more bulky and awkward than heavy. I stood mine on end then stood in it and sort of rolled it up on...

Follow up. Couple of days ago I installed my new, right out of the box Mopar multi-switch. Put everything back together only to find that, altho the fog lights weren't coming on by themselves anymore, the turn signals and 4-way flash wouldn't work. Hooked old switch back up and turn sigs &...

Installed new multi-switch that controls turn signals, headlights, fog lights, etc, in my '05 TJ, because mine was bad and allowing fog lights to come on, whether turned on or not. It killed my battery the other day. Anyway, after getting new switch installed and everything all buttoned back...

I'm betting it's the switch too. Ordered new one yesterday. Thanks for the replies.

New switch ordered today.

Get back to the boat ramp this afternoon and get the dreaded solenoid chatter when I go to crank up my '05 TJ:???:. I know battery is good so check to see if I'd left any switches on, like the headlights or something. Nothing left on. I get a jump and make it home. Then I noticed the...

Gave her a bath yesterday then took her for a ride on Jungle Trail near Sebastian Inlet this morning. Trail was muddy from all the rain we've had here, so now she needs another bath!

Just FYI, some Ford Ranger wheels have same 5 X 4.5 bolt pattern as some Jeeps.

Just to clairfy, is your heater fan motor working or not? IF not, problem is likely switch, motor or wiring between them. If motor operates, you could have a vacuum leak that is keeping the vent directional doors from working properly. My '05 TJ has A/C but I had similar problem, right...

Had same prob with Commanchee pickup (4.2 6 cyl, 5 spd) few years ago. Replaced clutch slave cyl and all was fine. Not that hard to replace.

Yesterday, I'd parked by '05 TJ behind my truck and off to the side. Thought all was clear. Later, in a rush to go somewhere, jumped in truck, backed up and right rear of truck caught rear bumper of the TJ. More damage to truck than the Jeep. Bent truck's rear bumper a little (should be able...

"I'm pretty sure to be considered a truck the bed has to be separate from the body." If this is the criteria for a truck then what are Chevy El Caminos, Honda Ridgelines & Chevy Avalances? Read more...

Back in the 60's, when I was in ROTC, the Army classification of military jeeps of the time was 1/4 ton trucks.

I'm new to this website but have had various Jeeps over past 30+ yrs. As to Cherokee vs Wrangler, for me the deciding factor would be if you ever want to go topless and/or doorless, which I like to do occasionally, weather permitting, then a Wrangler is your best bet. As to drivetrain, I'd...

Thanks for all the replies. I have the 4.0ltr 6 engine and a 2" suspension lift. Power doesn't appear to be an issue. Had same engine in a Commanche a few years ago and power of it was fine for me. I'm thinking 31's as it would sit a little lower. I'll be 70 next year and not quite as limber you...

My '05 TJ has Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar 33 12.5 15's with about 8k miles on them. They were on it when I bought the Jeep and I'm told they are very good and fairly expensive tires. My problem is the tread is so aggressive that they are so noisy that I can't hear the radio, my cell phone, a...

Thanks for the clarification. Mine has the side vents just like your's, so that narrows it down. I figured the pic's shown in ads were not the exact item as they appear to be the same pic for all year ranges. I'll get one ordered today. Thanks again!
