Well I did this mod yesterday and then eventually taking the doors off because I knew it would be nice out. The next day (today) I'm all ready to go, get in the Jeep and the sonoab wont fire. I have power, all the lights come on. I hear about two clicks from under the hood and that's it. Could this be from the lights being re-wired. I know I didn't do it wrong because they were working last night. Any info would help

Make sure you have a good connection on your battery. Also, it might be dead. You might have routed a continuous positive wire to the ground and drained battery.

I am thinking just a dead battery. Wiring should be fine. Make sure you don't have you cabin lights set to always on.

Cabin lights turn off after several minutes.

Default Mod with Video

I just performed the turn signal mod tonight. Here is a short 2 minute video I made after the fact to help eleviate some of the confusion between how they work, when they work, and when they don't work. Hope it helps...

I didn't make this, just found it on youtube. Word of caution, the comments under the video mention this mod is for a 2013 Wrangler, viewer comments say this will not work on the 2014 Wrangler.

I believe those comments are wrong, I have seen others do this mod in a 2014.
