Question sway bar light
What does the sway bar light mean and it came on my dash today and saw I was missing a nut on the link and replaced it. I only went a few miles down the road and it did not reset. Is it one of those things I have to drive it a little bit?

Transfer it into 4hi, hit the sway bar button in front of the shifter, it should turn off. Then transfer back to 2wd.

I hate to say it's not a Rubicon model.

Drive it around fully connected for ~20-40miles and see if it turns itself off. If that doesn't work disconnect the battery for 10-15minutes and reconnect it.

I went to school today and that's 18 miles one way that did not work. When I got home I disconnected the battery and that did not work.

So, you have a non-Rubicon, and the words "Sway Bar" are illuminated on your instrument cluster?

There is no reason it would come on, other than a computer glitch.

And those other reasons would be? (assuming it's not a non-Rubicon with the smart bar option)

CPU are sometime strange. 3 years ago, I had a Patriot 2X4. One day, the 4X4 light was on... the mechanic told me that the Jeep needs an alignment. After the alignment, the 4X4 light disappeared
I am aware of no condition in the JK's non-smartbar suspension, that would be monitored by the computer, which would trigger the sway bar light.
