Happy to help out if I can Kev, cya tomorrow

Its a biatch that I'm 250 miles away....would love to help

Anyways, if you come accross a old CJ7 fuse block with connectors & fuses in.....
radio & CB are now fed by clock.....so clock no worky.

Who said old iron came without electrickery

With an aftermarket immobilizer installed there's more wires in there than the QEII.

Bitch is that over the years previous owners probably have installed and dismanteled various audio & lights
that I've now got at least 15 cables going nowhere and they all seem to go or exit from a junction box related or tied into this immobilizer
thingamabob.

Short of blowing something up I'm treading very carefully here.

how about using something like this fed from the battery and controlled by a relay off the ignition trigger for all the 'extras'? will keep the original as is and not put any extra strain on the old loom

create a seperate dedicated 12v supply for ease of connection for external applications. With a the space in the engine bay you could afford a bigger fuse bank to cater for more lights, 12v internal supply to the rear of the jeep etc

Awww BD, your xmas spirit is really touching

If you could yes please, got most of my original connectors in the main block missing.

I can then rewire clock to clock and the audio/CB to the radio outlet. I guess that's also routed via the ignition
so battery does not drain.

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #933 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:24:00 PM »

I would wire your CB direct so can use it when you drop your keys in the mud you can call for help
also wire one 12v outlet direct so you can charge a phone without leaving your keys in your jeep

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #934 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:30:11 PM »

Keys? A CJ?

sorry forgot it's not the easiest to lose a starting handle

Nosebolt · « **Reply #937 on:** December 30, 2011, 04:58:03 PM »

the CB and cig lighter are always live (not through the ignition) in my CJ as is the winch but that has its own cut off switch

Bubba · « **Reply #938 on:** December 30, 2011, 05:26:06 PM »

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #939 on:** December 30, 2011, 09:23:57 PM »

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #942 on:** June 05, 2012, 06:41:17 PM »

I'm waiting for Steve at FTE to manufacture his heavy duty steering upgrade, which will have a steering box brace, heavy duty tie rod and Panard rod.

and heavy price to reflect, why do you need a heavy duty steering anyhow standard TJ is pretty good....

Go hydro!!!

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #945 on:** June 05, 2012, 06:59:35 PM »

I'm running 35's and been through two boxes and bent a few tie rods, and I dont want to see my chassis steering mounts go because I didn't strengthen it

willo · « **Reply #946 on:** June 05, 2012, 07:04:38 PM »

strange

, still sounds like a good sell

isle of man · « **Reply #947 on:** June 05, 2012, 07:21:07 PM »

As Gasser said you can move the fuse - but you still have a fuse!!!

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #948 on:** June 05, 2012, 07:38:36 PM »

What are you two on about

willo · « **Reply #949 on:** June 05, 2012, 07:39:56 PM »
