No doors; Lights off how?

tjjeepjeep · 08-03-2007, 10:30 PM

Should I actually get said doors off my TJ (2004) for tomorrow, I realize that I didn't buy the handy dandy little Lights Off clips. (doh!) So I'm wondering what I can do to get the lights to stay off? HELLLPPPPPP!

pull the bulbs if need be.

Pull the fuse.

carwash · 08-04-2007, 12:24 AM

make sure that fuse does not also operate other necessary things.

Check your manual, on TJ's it is the number 4 fuse and it only controls the lights.

Thanks, guys! Turns out the doors had separation anxiety and didn't want to be parted from my girl. Snapped two nuts off, and doors won't budge. That was at 6:30am this morning, so I think our neighbors may have learned a few new words.

Yeah...pull the fuse.

I snapped two of the four bolts when I pulled my doors off......which was the day I bought my TJ (11 years old and all).

I now just put the doors on.....and I don't worry about the other two nuts....I think they are still in my tool box somewhere.

When I had hard doors many years ago, The nuts were never on.

You may have to loosen up one hinge in order to wiggle the door off for the first time. Smear some grease around the bolt and the next time will hopefully be easier.

Well nice to know the doors won't come flying off or anything stupid without the nuts on. Silly me, I figured it was easy to take them off since I see everyone and their brother without them. :)

Hit them with a shot of PB Blaster to help get them off.
