    Link goes directly to WJ service manual. JKbob clearing your history/cookies from those extracurricular nsfw sites might help.

    I'm not knocking your website but it's not close to the best auto website going, which is the Chrysler Crossfire Forum. They have every problem you can encounter, listed with the fix, including pictures, a parts manual and a service manual. Also, it's far easier to navigate, with stickys for most common issues and the most knowledgeable and helpful group that I have ever encountered on a forum.

    Check it out and see what the format does when you have a few hundred thousand members
    The site needs to grow in order to have all that info.

    I hope it does grow, I have 2 Jeeps, in addition to my SRT6 Crossfire. There aren't all that many members, they didn't make many Crossfires.

    My last thing is to trace the wires back from the tail light and make sure everything is connected. You may also have to trace the power forward to where it stops to find your problem. You are going to need a good wire diagram such as those found in a dealer service Manuel.

    My finger is fine OFFGRID. Lol.

    Seriously. I got a window for NJ residents about a fair act amendment for farm equipment repairs and other things that may need repaired. I had to scroll down and not accept. So it's gone now.:notsure:

    Now, I get the manual. :)

    Recently I saw my break lamp not coming on for my Pass side. I pulled the bulbs. Both brake and running. Cleaned them. Worked for a day and then same problem. It is very moist in the air and raining a lot at that time here in Oregon. Just went out and bought them both new. re[laced them next of course. Good for about a week and problem back again. Neighbor told me to try some Dielectric Greese (The NON-Conductive stuff). Put it on bulbs connections and squeezed it inside the socket. Problem gone never returned. Thank you Neighbor!!

    Just saying, maybe check the tree before the forest... :crazy:

    So glad you fixed it.
