Radio Volume 
Solved
2011 Jeep Wrangler Jeep Wrangler 148700 miles
Yesterday my radio volume stopped working. I have an external satellite radio receiver hooked up via the aux port. I went to pick up a package yesterday, radio worked fine. When I came out, radio was at 0 volume. If I turn the knob, the display stays at 0 volume. Secondary steering wheel controls won't work, and won't even trigger the display to say 0, as turning the knob does.
Disconnected the satellite receiver, still nothing. Switched modes to AM, FM, back to AUX, nothing. Plugged iPhone in to AUX, tried using volume control on iPhone, nothing. Clock display still works, and volume displa… Read complete

CommentAc and heating issue Solved
2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 84000 miles
Hi All,
Forgive me if this is the incorrect place.
Not to long ago, I got the blinking defroster light and the B1030-12 code along with a slew of other codes related to the A/C. So I opened the dash and It looked like I had a rodent dine on my A/C Heat Control Panel harness.
Before someone asks, I do have electrical education/training. It was some years ago but I can get myself around quite well with automotive systems.
I have the diagram of the A/C electrical system and plumbing
I hopped on the WF forum and went through alot of A/C posts trying to figure this thing out.
I went and got… Read complete

There are 2 wires that are almost identical in color/strip that were crossed. Once uncrossed it worked perfectly
I have a problem with the heater not work. But the Ac works and the blower works. So what can I do to fix the problem or do you have any idea what's going on
Sounds like your heater core is bad and needs replacement
Same problem for me. Mine blows warm air for about 5 seconds then stops. Heater core replaced. Problem not fixed.

Any help from anyone in the community please? can someone help or advice on that?
Best answer (according to MARCOS)
You are probably low on antifreeze, you need to get the water leak fixed and get air removed from the system.
If the leak isn’t too bad add some distilled water or
Mix some distilled water and antifreeze 50/50 and add it in and it will get you by til you can get it fixed.
If it’s still getting hot after you fill it back up and it’s still getting hot, you have lost too much and it has air in the system, you will need to get it fixed to stop it from getting hot
Make sure to get the correct antifreeze… not any old antifreeze will work

Check second antifreeze reservoir by the firewall (driverside).
CommentEngine not turning Solved
2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ V6 4.0L 200000 miles
Went to start my jeep, engine did not turn over at all, only sound it made was a few rapid clicks. Check engine light has come on, and have been dealing with random RPM surges when idling and driving. Still did not start when being jumped, went to open the door, the alarm system that came with the vehicle (stopped working years ago I thought) started going off. The battery was disconnected, when reconnected the alarm was still engaged while using the disarm button on the key fob. I am thinking this is a bad starter that needs to be replaced, along with possibly the alternator.

CommentRadio rebooting
2018 Jeep Wrangler JL 80000 miles
Around every 3 minutes the radio restarts. Uconnect 8.4 and is up to current version, led screen replaced 2 years ago because of bubble. Fuse is fine, no popping noise/short, just turns off and on.
4 reports
Usually happens around start up but not right at start. The head unit will "pop" through the speakers and totally power off. It then reboots and loses the clock time but not the station programming.
Have you checked the battery? wranglers are like goldilocks about batteries.
Whats to check, New battery already and the start/stop one functions as expected. IMO its a shit part made by the cheapest supplier MOPAR could find. And just like everything on a jeep, the aftermarket suppliers products are 1,000 times better than anything jzChrist & Fiasco makes.
@DaveIdk then, mate. I'd still check the battery anyway. I had all kinds of probs w/ my '15 jku that turned out to be a bad battery even though it was less than a year old that disappeared after I replaced it. 🤷
@yezzOK great, glad that worked for you. I had the problem before and after the battery was replaced so IDK. Trend says to me its not the battery. And Batteries are 200+ dollars now so I am not throwing more cash at a crappy part.
@DaveYa know 🤔 could be a short in the power wire to the radio or loose connection. Maybe pul the unit out & inspect the wiring. Idk why I didn't think of that before, esp given I'm currently dealing with a wiring issue myself.

There could be a number of reasons why the air conditioning system is not functioning properly, and it will be necessary to diagnose the issue to determine the cause.
Here are a few things you can try:
Check the fuse for the air conditioning system. The fuse for the air conditioning system is typically located in the main fuse box under the hood. Check the fuse to see if it is blown and replace it if necessary.
Check the compressor. The compressor is responsible for pumping refrigerant through the air conditioning system. If the compressor is not functioning properly, it could prevent the air conditioning system from turning on.
Check the refrigerant level. If the refrigerant level is low, it could prevent the air conditioning system from turning on.
Check the air conditioning controls. Make sure that the air conditioning controls are functioning properly and that there are no problems with the buttons or switches.

CommentHorn doesn’t work
2015 Jeep Wrangler Wrangler unlimited 120000 miles
Horn does not work nor any buttons on the steering wheel

JustEmptyEveryPocket from United States a year ago
It's your "Clock Spring. " The clock-spring is that part that your turn-signal handle is connected to, right behind/underneath the steering wheel. The windshield wiper switch is opposite the turn signal activater. Do you have a red airbag indicator light lit up on your dash? Iits the clock spring. I have the same issue. I have chosen to live it.
JustEmptyEveryPocket from United States a year ago
To get your horn to work, bypass the clock spring by getting a push-button switch. Create the circuit from your horn to the battery, and from the battery to the switch, and the switch to the horn. Mount the push button on your dash, and you should be able to still pass inspection. It has been working on my 2013 Wrangler JK. The clock spring is kind of expensive, and I'm not ready to spend the money on it yet.
Same thing here is happening to my horn and steering wheel. The horn doesn’t work or the controls

CommentAuto stop start jl sport
2021 Jeep Wrangler 2.0 70000 miles
No ac or heat on and message says starts top not ready. But no reason why. Seemed to be working fine and just stopped about 3 months ago. Battry remains at 13.9-14.1 v per gauge. Is there a particular fuse that can be checked since I dont seem to have any other issues.
1 report
You have 2 batteries, the one that reads 13.9-14.1 on the dash is for starting and accessories. The Start Stop feature runs on a battery by itself. Find that battery it’s probably bad.

To enter the Radio Service mode on Uconnect Series 430N etc
1. In the key On or Acc mode - Power Radio off, so the clock or no clock is showing on the main screen
2. Hold down Radio & Media & Menu buttons for 3 to 5 seconds. 3. A 3 page menu will come up
4. The first option is Hardware Check. There may be other menu items you can try, such as on Page 2 Item 5. Radio Adjustment

CommentBreak caliper heating
2018 Jeep Wrangler 51000 miles
My rear left break caliper get heated while driving so i replaced it but now my right side caliper is getting hot what may be the problem
1 reply
Sounds the brake is not sliding like it should. The float/slide pins need to be serviced or replaced. Some times they get rusted/dirty and won’t slide like they should.
The boots are probably torn or something... replacing the left caliper fixed it because there are new pins and clean shafts.

When I 1st start my car, the air feels like it's coming from the AC , even though the AC is not on. But, if I flick the AC on and off, it will start to feel like the outside air again. It's this a real problem, or just a Jeep thing?
Temp control lights on knobs flicker
2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport 98023 miles
When I first start my Wrangler sometimes the 3 lights in the center temperature control knobs flicker then mostly stay off. I can never tell if the AC button and inside/outside vent control door is on/off or open/closes. I can actually hear the door open and close and the compressor click on/off but the light indicator doesn't stay lit. Is this an electrical short or do I need to just replace the panel of controls?
