It's a pain for me to get my jeep up at the shop but it is possible so I plan on pressure testing it this week after work to see if I am losing that way. I have an airlift and the large air compressor its just a pain to access right now.

Is this a Mopar only item? Rock auto has WVE brand for $54 but if this is one of those I wish I got the mopar unit please someone reply back and let me know. Im in no rush.
Wow, I'm really confused. How did we get from the turn signal switch to air bags and PCV valves? I just replaced the turn signal lever on my '07 and it'll take you 15-20 minutes to figure out how to remove the steering wheel shroud, and 2-3 to actually do it. Give it 5 minutes to replace the multifunction switch. Another 5 to reassemble the shroud. You're done. No air bag. No PCV valve. It fixed my weird dash lighting problem where they wouldn't dim properly, and the interior dome light would turn on at the wrong switch positions. But, the switch, bought from AutoZone, cost me about $90 (with military discount). Every other switch I found online was in the low one hundred dollar price range.

Ha ha thanks Mark for the info. Yea I got all over the place with this one I didn't want to post 3 different topics for a few small little things. The multi function switch just came in. It was on Rock Auto for $55 but let me know if this isn't going to work and I'll return it and get the one you have that we know is currently working.

It would seem as if my PCV valve isn't seated correctly so I will look at that again this weekend. Thanks for the info on this one. I didn't think there would be much problems installing this but I've yet to take apart the steering column. I was about to one time to look at the WCM but realized the dealer had to program it so I aborted mission.

Man, wish I'd found that switch. LOL. Let us know how that works. As for the PCV valve, as someone else alluded, it can be a pain to pull out. I literally had to call my biggest, strongest friend to help me pull mine out when another, more normal sized fellow and I weren't able to get it pulled. Seriously tough job. I've since read that if you do it with the engine hot, it comes out a lot easier. So, you may want to give that a try. Let us know how that works out, too!

It took a long, makeshift pry bar, Vice Grips ...


... and this 6'4" fellow to get it out ...

I'll let you know how the switch works. Seems to be pretty generic. As for the PCV Valve if you watch the video mine is just kinda hanging out on top. It came out extremely easy. Im wondering if it was even put in right when the dealer did it for free like 7 years ago.

Does anyone know what size socket they used to tap it down?

Ok so I reinstalled the PCV valve and it definitely sits down slightly inside now. Glad I got that fixed. Also did the multifunction switch and that solved all of my fog and turn signal issues.
