Gotta buddy who drilled 1 3/4" holes in the front bumper all the way through top and bottom. Set the rod in and wait. My brother bolted a 2x6 to the front of his toyota and then bolted those plastic holders to that. Idk, i got plenty of ideas, lol. You could fab a set of holders to slide in a receiver.

I lost my cruise control and horn. Is there something common to these and what do I do to get them back?

Thanks

how are you getting a 2 digit code when you have a 97? OBDII uses 4 digit codes (format is Pxxxx). You need to go to your local auto parts store and have them plug in the reader to get the correct code.

Wire them into your side markers. Simple.

well try again because p0758 doesn't correspond to anything on a jeep, and neither does 45...



key trick for OBDII XJs:
Newer (OBDII) models - Put the key into the ignition, push down the odometer reset button, then turn the key to RUN with your finger on the button - and then release the button. The odometer will go through 1111111 through 999999, then display the car's serial number. It will then show the error codes (it might show them starting with P).
