HOW TO FIX: JEEP Wrangler/Chrysler/Dodge | Radio Cuts Off
I had this issue where the RES 130 Radio had a problem in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. It cut out in AUX and AM/FM didn't work at all. Didn't know what to do, but I came across YaBoyCai on UA-cam showing his Jeep Patriot. I figured I'd record myself step by step to show this easy process, since it is slightly different on Jeep Wranglers.
This appears to be a common problem, so instead of going out to buy a new one or let the dealer take my money, I figured I'd give it a try myself! It didn't work at first, but paired with resetting the U-Connect did the trick!

    pulled my radio out of my Jeep wrangler JK after it cut out and lost all radio. Took the radio and tossed it into the trash and put a Kenwood system in. Problem fixed

    I just did this repair tonight on my Wrangler and it totally worked! Thank you so much for this video or I'd have been totally lost. I used a heat gun though.

    Best Buy has some great aftermarket head units that out perform that pos and aren't that expensive. Replace it and never have to worry about it again

    Life saver, did this in my dodge avenger 2014, heated it up with a blow dryer for 30seconds and and jammed a piece of wood in there so it’d have constant pressure and not only did the Bluetooth and CD stop cutting out every 2 seconds but now my AM/FM radio works (car was like this when I got it). Thanks a million man!! Subscribed.

    2024-07-17 Jeeps Wrangler 2016... Mon fils avait un problème avec la radio. Le même problème que vous décrivez dans votre vidéo. J'ai donc entrepris de faire la réparation en suivant attentivement la façon de faire dans votre vidéo. Ce fut un succès du premier coup. Je vous remercie beaucoup, nous avons profité de votre expertise pour régler le problème. Thank you so much.

    Did this fix and it worked perfect, used a heat gun instead of a lighter and still worked fine, took the advice of the comment above and propped something in between the chip and the metal arm. perfect fix, thank you very much.

    Awesome! I helped my daughter buy a used wrangler and we forgot to check the radio! Sure enough it was broken. This fixed it! I used a soldering iron to get a little bit more solder onto a couple of dry spots in the upper left corner and then a butane torch to reflow the solder all around. Thank you especially for the encouragement with taking all the plastics off, including the vent detail. That was the hard part for us. It was all done within an hour!

  • @francinem.7028
    @francinem.7028 4 місяці тому

    An important item to be aware of. If you closely observe, the little "latch" to unlock the vent is just right of the "p" in "Jeep". You need to line up the louver hole to be just right of the "p" to find the latch to pull down on. (see video about 2:35, where he is prying on the latch. You will notice that is it just right of the "p".)

    Is it me, or is a Chrysler Jeep just not electrically engineered very well. Between having to replace a TIPM(cost:: $800 - $2000) to fix electric locks, or stop wipers from turning on at a whim, or the wiper fluid pump to work again, and now having to rip a radio apart and reglue a part that should have never been glued, Chrysler needs to do something. There are now dozens of UA-cam videos for this one radio issue and dozens of posts to this UA-cam video alone. Chrysler should be ashamed of themselves. They need to get proper electrical engineers, recall their vehicles and fix their crappy electrical design and parts. BTW, if your A/C stops working, guess what! You'll need to replace your TIPM. (Yes, all of the above has happened with my Jeep, and I am unloading it as quickly as possible. You may also need to have your TIPM software updated by Chrysler to get all the electrical components to sync together which will cost you another $800.)

    Just made this repair to my 2014 Jeep Wrangler radio this past weekend. Worked perfectly! My AM/FM stopped working a few months ago and then last week, the radio sound would go on and off every few seconds. This repair fixed both issues! Thanks for the video!! Recommend using a heat gun, not an open flame.

    Thanks for the video. I tried like what he said and heated and hold pressed. Connected it only worked for 30 secs and returned to the fault again. WHAT WORKED FOR ME: the Black IC which he asked to heat, above that we have a metal plate where the screw sits I measured the distance between it and took a long length bolt and cut oof its head the sanded to corner soft and put it little more than the measurement of length and made it stand stuck between the black IC and the above metal plate tight in way that the Black IC alway gets pressed to the board tight. Re assembled everything with bolt rod stuck pressing the IC and connected. Now it works great and never looses the connection. Works perfect now. If anybody have any question please reply to this comment i will try to help. Thanks for the video for helping me understanding the problem and create the solution for it. All praise to the lord of Jesus, Allah.

      @scotchnichols Місяць тому

      @@mmuller794 Kind of, yes. I finally found some spare time to tackle the switch of the radios. This helped immensely but I decided to not do any soldering. I probably should have picked out a more recent replacement radio. The "upgraded" OEM radio from 2017ish still can't do all the SiriusXM channels that I pay for. Ugh.

    Thanks man for the video. Worked on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler radio. I ended up doing the tip listed in the comments of putting a piece of plastic from a writing pen on the plate and under the steel lip things. Just sawed off the right length. Again, thanks for the video.

    I just had the same issue with my 2013 avenger. You dont even have to heat it up. I just cut a pen almost in half and wedged it in using the bracket lip right above it. Works fine. Used it on the one i got from the scrapyard as well and it works just fine as well.

    2015 Wrangler JK. It's amazing that there are individuals on here that know how to make a repair to the radio like this. I will mention that when I used my heat gun to heat the chip in question, I got it pretty darn hot with no ill effects to the Board. I don't recommend using a fireplace lighter w an open flame like I saw somewhere on here If I would have taken my Jeep in to the dealer or car audio, they would have had a field day with me. Thank you for the great tutorial.

    Had the same problem with my identical RAM radio. Heated the chip up got it working then quit heated it again got working quit. Heated it a third time got it working and put a drop or 2 of super glue on the chip been working ever since. Caution don't use silicon its got acidic acid in it bad for electronics.
