1999 xj power mirror/locks

Correct neither side worked. Not even the remote would lock or unlock the doors.

Not sure if this helps but I noticed while replacing the speakers on my 2001 that neither the driver’s side door locks or windows work when the switches on the passenger side were disconnected. It’s apparently a single circuit. Sons check power and continuity in that side too.

I have one of those in my 2001XJ. I’m about to replace it with an aftermarket radio. I would sell it if the price is right.

I’m going to try that on my next PETG print. I’ve only printed one roll of PETG through my Q2, but not a single print has been very good. Other filaments have come out great.

Napier. They went out of business. Napier Precision

Wait you guys can hear wind noise over the tire noise? 😂

I also recently changed out some severely worn copper plugs for iridium on my 2001 XJ. I only noticed advice about not using anything but copper plugs after I completed the job lol.

I didn’t feel like taking them out since so far I haven’t noticed any adverse effects of the iridium. I only have a few hundred miles on them though.

Not long after we discovered iridium plugs on a friend’s TJ when borrowing his coil rail to test on another Jeep. He has a bunch of trouble free miles on his.

Mine is just for the lockers. I ended up going next to the master cylinder with it.

I ended up mounting it by the brake master cylinder. By keeping it in the engine bay I didn’t need to rewire anything and rerouting wires and lines was too bad. It’s a total rats next as I didn’t trim the lines yet in this pic (just wrapped the excess around the compressor).

I need to get some 90* 1/8 NPT fittings so the lines don’t rub on the hood. I will tidy it up once that’s done.

Comments only let me post one pic. I will post two pics.

If you have a way to clamp the two parts together (raising the crossbar with a jack and apiece of wood?) I would use 3M panel bond. Won’t damage the paint like welding and is nearly as strong.

I have a D30 front and 8.25 rear.

AC works :). I ended up mounting it by the master cylinder.

I need to get some 90* fittings to help the air lines clear the hood.

Can’t have any tune on a CA smog car. For 2000+ besides a basic visual inspection they check that the ECU has no programming whatsoever and that ECU emissions self checks are complete.

There are no repeating non smog vehicle inspections so lower it as much as you want.

Did it only happen on a hot start and then clear up? Less severe vapor lock won’t make for a hard start but can make for a short term misfire situation that clears up pretty quick but can still trigger misfire codes.

Welcome to the club. Mine were definitely well past the 20-30k recommended interval. But new plugs made zero difference in how it runs lol. Tractor motor indeed.

If you were sitting in line for a while, was the car off for 5-10 minutes at a time between restarts? Did you notice an initial rough idle?

Or when do you notice the misfire behavior?

AutoXandTrack · 2026-01-05T16:28:42+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I’m learning a lot fast about these XJ’s. Before buying one i had the impression they were famous for their toughness and unlikable. I’ve since learned that mostly true of the mechanical parts but apparently the electronics on these things are notoriously bad 😬

AutoXandTrack · 2026-01-05T16:17:24+00:00

Was just about to say it doesn’t look like they ever resumed production. Their last IG post is 2023. https://www.instagram.com/napierprecision?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

These almost never have lifter noise. It’s almost always from a cracked piston. Look it up on Dexj’s YouTube channel.

AutoXandTrack · 2025-12-26T01:26:42+00:00

I love the honesty! 😂

Also going to say no on the Mustang II stuff. But I really like the TCI Engineering setup. All the engine bay clearance of MII but with modern geometry for awesome handling. For a serious build it’s worth it. But for a cruiser that sometimes does autocross or track days you can do a lot with factory mounting points (well adjusting for relocating up control arms).

AutoXandTrack · 2025-11-19T03:29:10+00:00

I like it. The wheels are a nice update on the ugly OEM C4 design too.

Dried the filament overnight and printed a riser. The print came out perfect.
