Well...my back-up lights were not working. This is apparently due to a common problem with the transmission's range sensor. This sensor has detents that inform the TCM of the gear status of the automatic transmission. So, I decided to attempt "the easy fix" of taking it out and cleaning it. This 99% of the time fixes the problem according to gurus. So I got it in the air to find that it is kinda a bitch to get to. Got it unbolted and unplugged but could not get it off the shifter shaft. Long story short I busted the damn thing. My cost is $249 from mopar. Advance has it for $239. So the Jeep is down until I find a used one for about three-fiddy...
