Jeep TJ Dash Removal/Reinstall Cliff Notes Style Part 2
Here I discuss how I removed the dash, swapped out the airbox, and reinstalled the dashboard in my Jeep TJ as part of my project to retrofit A/C into this old Jeep. Retrofitting A/C requires either modification to the airbox, or replacement of the airbox with an A/C version. I chose to purchase a used A/C airbox and swap out my non A/C airbox with one that is factory ready for A/C. In order to swap the airbox, the dashboard must be removed.
In this video I discuss the issues I encountered. I did not video the physical activity of pulling the dash out or swapping out the airbox and reinstalling.
I am not a professional mechanic. I am a DIY guy working on my own Jeep TJ. Anything you chose to duplicate that you see here, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for damage or injury.

    Thanks for the vid. Just to add, as some may wonder. If the battery goes flat and the dials for the chrono are not zeroed out, then these can be adjusted by: - 0.0/0.00 can be done by pulling the crown to position 1 (same as date/day adjustment) and pressing B button (top, right-hand one). It can be single pressed for micro changes or continously to move it around quicker. - 0.000 can be adjusted by pulling the crown to position 2 (hour/minute adjustment) and pressing button C (bottom, right-hand side). Same applies as per above in terms of moving the dial. - the seconds dial if not aligned to 12, it can be adjusted by pressing button A (bottom, left-hand side) for 3+ seconds, when the crown is fully pulled (position 2). Hope this helps a bit with the full self-service 🙂 Cheers!

      Great question. I forgot that’s been (more than) a year since I set the watch. I haven’t touched it even to change for DST. The time variance since March of 2023 is….13 seconds. The watch is 13 seconds fast from the WWV atomic clock time. I was expecting it to be a couple minutes off. Not too shabby.

    I have the 140th Anniversary Bulova Precisionist and granted it's not the nicest nor is it the most expensive watch, but I'd be pissed if someone touched my Bulova with that watch tool kit. 1st off, you should've removed the band prior to removing the case cover. Also, if I'm not mistaking, you're supposed to pull the crown all the way out to stop the movement prior to changing the battery. You should never use a pair of stainless tweezers to assist a battery change. You should always use plastic tweezers when working with batteries. If you're gonna try working on your own watches invest in the right tools and quality tools. They don't have to be top of the line Bergeon tools, but they gotta be better quality than that $2 Amazon garbage. Also, if you don't know what you're doing 100% then don't touch it. Just because you see writing on a movement saying push doesn't mean you just push it. All that does is release the winding/setting stem so it can be removed. It has nothing to do with resetting the watch/movement. Watch some other videos before diving into a watch or just pay someone who knows what they're doing to change your batteries especially since you may have to reset the chrono hands once new battery is installed. I pretty much taught myself how to service all my automatics (ETA 2824, Sellita SW200 which is basically the same as the ETA 2824, and Seiko NH35 movements are the 3 I can service now) just by watching UA-cam videos. It's not hard to learn, but be ready to invest a pretty penny in tools, lubes, and whatnot. In the end it'll save you money if you're patient enough to learn the proper procedure's.

So I saw a wire in a red sheath hanging down on the left side of the column I reached in to see if it got disconnected. It was cut and I looked closer and found the other half. After removing the seat I found eight wires cut. Everything works but no crank/start my question to you is I need to get pictures of the area and connectors because the cut off what the connectors my name is Tim Hill ill be happy to talk to you as you have been pretty deep in your Jeep. You did a good job showing what you were doing. Thanks in advance Tim

    • @mikehartmann5187
      @mikehartmann5187 6 місяців тому

      Sounds to me like someone attempted to steal the car by hot-wiring it. You will need to splice the cut wires back together. Match wires by color and use a crimp connector or some other type to splice the wires back together. I would disconnect the battery while you work on the wires.

      @mikehartmann5187 7 місяців тому

      No. I didn’t check for an open before I removed the bulb. I did perform a basic check out of the clock spring and, it checked out ok. So, I figured it was either a blown indicator bulb, or a wiring issue. Either way I regarded it as a win to replace the bulb with a new one since that bulb is somewhat notorious for burning out.

    Just take the air filter box out and you can reach the bulb without having to go from underneath. Its wayyyyyy easier. Theres a video on here that shows you how to do it. Simply dissconnect the hose from the air filter box, pull the box up and it comes right out. Then you can easily reach the bulb.😊

    When resetting the hand position, a short press on the pushers will move the corresponding hand a tiny bit. Pressing and holding the pusher for 3+ seconds, and keeping it pressed, will allow the coordinating hands to move continuously. The little 1/10 & 1/100 hand should both be aligned to 12 o'clock. The retrograde 1/1000 hand should be aligned to ".000" tick mark on the left.
