TIPM removal to get to connections?
 
I need some help here please.

I started a thread about 3 weeks ago: "Help! Head Lights not working."
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...orking-235902/

What I'm trying to due is what a Chrysler tech to get my head lights working again.
He said he lifted up the TIPM and disconneted the reconnected some connectors and my head lights worked for about 2 weeks.

How does the TIPM lift out? Clips? Srews?
If I dissconnect my battery, is it safe to do this?

Out of my 3/36 warranty.

Any help would be, well, very helpful.

Disconnect the battery negative terminal before disconnecting any plug under the TIPM.

Push the 4 tabs inward, and lift the TIPM up.

Thank you very much ronjenx. You help so many on this forum. :beer:

Everything went smoothly. After disconnecting the negative battery cable, lifted the TIPM up and disconnected all connections including the heavy gauge ground wire.
Cleaned with automotive connector spray cleaner/protector. Made sure connections were completly dry, then put it all back.

(Head lights were working/not working with no rhyme or reason I can find, nor dealer)

See my other thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...orking-235902/

Head lights are working now. Only time will tell.
