I have to do that too. With the liftgate open, the body side of half the wires don't touch the gate half. Strangely enough, the only things that don't work right now are the 3rd brake light and liftgate ajar light.

Make sure you pick up some new O rings too. When I first pressurized the system after having the Heep apart for the summer, it turned into a geyser from the fuel supply and return fittings.

I replaced the o-ring when I put put the manifold back on. The leak was because the original rail had rusted out. I am guessing that when I used the disconnect tool I popped through a thin spot.

My 98 has a Mitsubishi starter, it is all part of the Chrysler Mitsubishi partnership. Pretty much anything made during that time will have Mitsubishi electronics.


So far today I have changed out my fuel rail, and under initial test there are no leaks. So far all I have done is turn the key and purge the air from the system till I had fuel come out then I started it and gave a quick look for the unleaded sprinkler, and shut it off again.

Right now it is sitting with the hood up letting any spillage from the swap dry up then i will check for leaks again.

Next on the list for the day is to change out the TCM. It should be much easier now that I can move the Jeep and be able to get the drivers door opened all the way

I tightened all 3 nuts on my track bar which fixed a rattle that my jeep has had since I bought it 4 months ago and I'm ecstatic about it. haha

How hard is the removal and replacement of the gauges? I just bought a new cluster and have never done that before.

Success, no leaks, no codes, but I still need to tighten up the exhaust a little bit.

Installed JY fuel rail and TCM today with almost zero cursing and swearing. In other words it went smoothly, because it is rare that I don't curse or swear when working on a vehicle
