    The problem I'm having is not that the glass will not release, but that it will not latch.

    I pushed the latch to the maximum adjustment but still wouldn’t grab without help from inside. Wrapped electrical tape around the handle itself and that did the trick. Once the rubber wears off on the latch, it does not want to grab

    I've had this problem on my '06 Renegade for years. I suspected it was the handle switch because the latch still disengages with the key FOB. Now I don't have to guess before I pull the panel off and I know what part to order before I do. Huge time saver! Thank you!
    Question: Is your wive's KJ lifted? I just moved to Sedona, AZ so I'm fixing things I've been putting off and shopping for lift kits and tires.

    • @MtGarage
      @MtGarage  Před 5 lety

      Glad I could help! Yes it is lifted, it’s a 2.5” rough country spacer lift I believe. The lift was done before we bought it, but that’s what the previous owner told us. Tires are 245/70/16 Goodyear Duratrac

  • @guitarstar0966
    @guitarstar0966 Před 4 lety

    I tested it so shown. The switch activated and released. I replaced the wire assembly. The same problem still exists! My key fob activates it, but not the unlock button inside the vehicle.
    It may be possible I didn't seat the switch on the wire assembly properly, as it was difficult to access the location.

  • @ReaperGreen98
    @ReaperGreen98 Před 3 lety +1

    Hi could you answer my question?. I wanted to order the Wiring Jumper from ebay, but they only have it for Jeep 04-07. When I select 2002 Jeep liberty I can see the info "This part is not compatible with 2002 Jeep Liberty". Do you think it will be compatible anyway? The part number is the same.

    • @MtGarage
      @MtGarage  Před 4 lety +1

      I had the same issue with mine being an 03. I looked at the picture of the jumper and it looked the same. So I ordered it and it was exactly the same. Can’t say whether it’s the same on the 02 but eBay is usually good with returns if it ends up not working.
