    well have worked out there is a leak somewhere as the water reappears after some rain

    have also thrown a 2nd set of feet on her Bridgestone A/T's used but heaps of tread left, feels my nicer on the road and lots quiter and makes it look very domestic will get lots more mile's out of the M/T tyres

    after having the tryes fitted lower my R/H rear window to let the inside air out after a couple of stops on the way home the dash didn't display any thing no rev, speed, oil,temp, fuel gauges working then the windows would go up had a dig around this Morning no fuses I can find blown so I now have a major issue as she sits outside and is going to rain for the next week currently have a tarp over the window and parked as close to a stack of bricks to reduce the amount of rain that can get to that side of the Jeep

    does anyone have any idea what has gone bang in my wiring system ????????

    off to MR Google this arvo ....

    Since so many things have been affected at once, I think you might have a ground issue where all those come together. Does the left had window work? Just a thought, thee is a fuse box on the right hand side in stateside ZJs accessible when the door is open. Just a thought there since I don't know where it would be on yours

    Hi Steve
    Yes thats where my fuse box is as well, Started there pulled a few out to check them but look OK
    where would the ground point be I need to look at?
    Dr Google is pointing to it being a BCM ????

    Yes, BCM would be the place to look. Also look at the fuse for it in the power distribution center (big fuse box)

    Well got her back last week and since we are going to the section in her this weekend and petrol was 10 cent a litre off(2.219 a litre) I took her to town
    still wandering at 100kms so it's not the tyres but a lot quiter on the road and still have apuddle on the drivers (right ) foot well am thinking it running down the A pillar as the carpet isn't wet from just above the floor level and could of been causing my electrical issue on a brighter note I have a spare BCM

    it was going to the right? the same as you lot that drive on the wrong side of the road,

    But as mine is a jap import and the previous owner wasn't that dodgy to fit the incorrect light I found it hard to believe, I had had the front grill out a couple of times I may of had it all twisted up
    the wof guy didn't even worry about the bars nice that less stress

    and on the shed front I am getting a 6 mtr x 7.2 long enclosed now

    and the house is looking good, on paper ... and a possible larger deck
