      @IRJ Just take the battery out, caulk shut the doors and fill it with 100% alcohol cleaner through the sunroof. It's the IT way.

          So $136.50 for an entire new brake system, but its HIGHLY unlikely to have to replace all 4 rotors at once.

            I found a service manual for my jeep. Here is the wiring diagram for the starting system. I am jumping the Engine Start Motor Relay to get the jeep to start. Honestly, I wiring diagrams are tough for my to read. Maybe someone here can help me narrow down my problem

              I can also tell you that the relay itself is not bad. The windshield wipers use the same relays with the same part number. One controls windshield wiper on/off and other windshield wiper speed. I know the wipers work and the jeep still wouldnt start when I swapped relays.

                Man, you got a sweet deal on that ride. That is dirt cheap and not high mileage at all.

                  Here are some interior pics. I spent a good 4 hours to get the interior to this point. It will clean up even more, but I was burned out at this point. You can see the dash and seats look good for the most part. The carpet in the back and the rear will definitely clean up and look pretty good. I think some of the spots on the front carpet may not come out, but I can't really complain too much. The before pictures are almost disturbing....

                    Before

                    download_20150202_122922.jpeg download_20150202_122915.jpeg download_20150202_122913.jpeg download_20150202_122917.jpeg download_20150202_122919.jpeg

                    Yes that is crust all over the carpet. I am not sure how it got on there, but suprising some good scrubbing and heavy duty carpet cleaner took it out. The coins in the center console came out as one huge sticky clump. This thing was really disgusting

                      After

                      Alot of this is just loose dirt that i scrubbed out, but its just too much work for my little vac. I will need to use a shop vac to really finish it right

                        This is basically a new car. I'm amazed that you were able to clean it up that well. Did you ever figure out the starting issue?

                            95% of the specks on the seats and carpet are just loose dirt. I really need a highpower vaccuum to finish the detailing

                              KBB says its worth $2824 in good condition. After I replace the radiator and faulty NSS and possibly the igntion switch, I will have less than $1k in it. I would consider the vehicle in good condition after I finish the detailing and replace all the faulty parts because it runs absolutely great.

                                  Don't know if you realize this yet... but you got robbed.... They took all your toll money!

                                  Looks great - can't beat that deal

                                    For a southern car, that's fine. If that was in the North, that's all you'd get for it...

                                      I was going to mention this... you are lucky if you can find a 12 year old junker in NY, the salt and snow really does a number on vehicles up here.... I've been looking for an old beater truck that is in ok shape for over a year now, just nothing like that survives up here.

                                          That is probably the only time in my life that I literally threw money away. It was stuck together in a huge sticky blob. I had to remove the cup holder and beat it on the ground to get globs of coins to fall out.
