So ok I went offroading today with just a handheld 40 channel and it did it again with nothing attached to jeep or Wired
I still think its something with my keyless system and security!!

 

i went out tonight to try to solve this crap. checked swr: perfect after some minor adjustment since the hardtop was put back on. disconnected all accessories including winch. connected cb to different battery. grounded coax by antenna with extra 16awg wire. check all cb connections. checked coax for damage. nothing changed the fact that the cb is still messing with my Jeep! I've had it working fine for months and all of a sudden it sucks. ill get the diode from radio shack tomorrow and add it to my power line. i wonder if my LED interior/reverse lights have something to do with this?? I'm very close to just posting my cb in the classified forum if i can't figure this out.

 

Yeah I used a handheld 40 channel that runs on AA's and not attached to jeep, and it still messed up my dash and wipers and such

 

Try bonding your frame to the Body... etc.
if your antenna is mounted off your tailgate run a ground strap to the frame, I ran a strap to the body and then ran a strap from the frame to the body, on both sides of the rear of the jeep.
I also ran a ground strap from the engine to the frame, very close to were the battery is grounded.
goldtr8 posted a few links, bonding is the key.... albeit you shouldn't have to do has much as the higher power HAM guys have too. This allows me to transmit 100W on HAM freqs, and I have no issues with the CB.
here are some areas to think about bonding.
bonding the tailgate.

bonding in the rear, frame to body, to complete the tailgate bond Both sides of rear.

added strap to the left

also bonded transmission to frame.

 

Did you read my post?
I'm using a handheld with no external antenna a handheld with AA batteries
It triggered my dash!!!!!
Fig that one out Mr Bond!!!

 

I had the same issues as you guys, last weekend i was out wheeling in the rain and my raido went out and a seconed later every light on the dash light up and then everything went out . two seconeds later the raido came back on and everything was normal, hasent happened since. I have a midland hand held cb with a cigg lighter plug in. I thought it was a short in the jeep, but its nice to here its not just me this happened to. I just bought a permanent uniden cb , putting it in today I will let you know if it happens with this one. fingers crossed it doesnt

 

Well if your having issues without being attached to the jeep with a power or ground maybe should fig out before installing a perment one.
I have a perment CB mounted and it does it constant.
I tried yesterday a handheld using batteries not attached to my jeep in anyway, and still occasional happened again.
Today I am going to try different frequency ranges besides the lower ones. Plus I may try removing my keyless FOB battery to eliminate that system.

 

Yes I did and there's no need for being an A** back to me. and there's more then one person posts here.
It's called EMI, (radiation susceptibility) do some research. Company's spend thousands of dollars working on EMI issues that are caused by interference from other electronics (in your case a hand held CB). grounding and shielding is one of the key items that help solve this problem. The Jeep has very poor grounding.
will it work in your case? maybe, maybe not.
Have fun with your EMI issue and spend lots of time doing things that don't matter.

later

 

Good call. I've always said ill get around to adding straps to various grounding points but this is a good reason to do it sooner. Thanks ill let you know how it turns out

 

Don't give up, everyone has a different amount of bonding they have to do, some don't have to do any and some do.
