installed in my 2001 Jeep Wrangler. For towing the key is one click for no wheel lock, then no cig lighter power. What to do?

My 2014 Rubicon has a cigarette lighter outlet in the center counsel, but you my have to wire a separate outlet from a always hot lead in the fuse panel.

check fuse,or run a temp from battery directly to the brake.They sell them in just about any auto store.

I have a 2014 with no wheel lock but must leave in accessories to energize cig lighter. I use a solar charger in the windshield for the battery after draining it completely during a long trip last year. Another lesson I learned is to turn the Patriot off if stopping for a long meal/rest.

Is there anything in the owners manual about pulling fuses? In order to keep the unit powered, you can always use an adapter to clip on a lawn tractor battery. Keep the battery secured on the floor. You can get an adapter at an auto parts store and make your own clip on harness. I'm sure other people have other work arounds but my method works for me and my Honda CRV.

Your best bet would be to install a FUSED accessory plug. You may find accessory power, ignition off, in the fuse panel either in the dash area or under the hood. Not sure which area is the best fit for your vehicle.

I had the same problem. I contacted the seller and they sent a new one and I had the same problem with it. Just a bad lighter. I would contact the seller.

Do you have one of the cars that require the key/engine on to power the cigarette lighter? Check and reset your auto fuse/breaker. If not tripped then bad contact/wire break somewhere. After that I have no suggestions.

I don't kow. Never tried ar6200 or BG44K. 3M 08963 only helped me pass the smoke test. May be I still need to go to the dealership later on to fix the engine light problem.

I just found a hot fuse receptacle in the fuse box and ran a wire to one of the wires and ran the other wire to the negative on the battery. The fuse needs to be one that comes on only when the key is in the accessory position or when the vehicle is on. I wired them this way since I don't have daytime running lights. Unless you find a fuse that's hot all the time and put in a switch.

had the same problem - if with the lock/unlock switch on the front is in the unlock position and it still does not unlock when you hit the foot pedal check the spring inside. mine was unhooked.

That is done on your switch on the panel, which has several settings. The Rugged Ridge locking hubs only lock or unlock or it you prefer engage or disengage the shafts that go into your front differential. The switch on your panel, just above the cigarette lighter controls settings- off, high or low, just as it did before the locking hubs installation. Its that simple.

Honestly, I do not know, as my car shuts all the accessories used in the cig lighter receptacle when I turn the key off. But I have been driving for more than 2 hours and it never shuts off. I think you are asking if it shuts off while in use? correct? if that is the case, then the answer is no, it stays on til you turn it off.

That tells me that one of the locknuts has come out. Take off the rubber bottom and look at the mechanism. You can probably figure out what's wrong by watching it and seeing where it jams. They have a one-year warranty. If you bought it online, you have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. I fixed my first one many times! Hint: Try not to put too much tobacco in the slot! When you have to pull hard, it wears out those little horseshoe shaped pieces.

Please make sure you have the Key less entry system in your vehicle. The whole process was done by my two sons and they are now out of state. I do not have any idea what they did.

I don't know. I had a similar problem with mine and just returned it and got a new lighter

Turn off ignition make sure there is no load or disconnect Neg- Terminal, then Just connect to the battery and press the test button. I did not like this tester and returned it. Midtronics is the best in category

On my Jeep Wrangler, I just plug it in to the lighter socket. The Jeep flat tows with the key in the accessory position. I have seen some use a jump box during the day and recharge it at night. The Patriot uses very little power except when braking and its own internal battery will brake a couple of times in an emergancy, but the dash unit will show error unless the Patriot is powered. I am very happy with this unit. BTW, it helps if you can see brake lights (or indication of brake lights) during setup. I have installed a LED under dash in the brake circuit; and this makes setup very fast.

I just got mine today and have the same problem. The metal hinges won't budge at all and the device won't fit in the cigarette lighter.

I had the same issue. Its because the electric choke isn't working and its running way to rich. Either you can put a switch on it to shut the choke off once its warmed up or just take it off. If you take it off like i did you'll have to go buy some JB weld and plug the little holes inside the carb so it doesn't take any air though those holes. Super easy to do. If you look this issue up on Google a lot of people have the same issue. I wish they'd just sell a carb with a manual choke.

You will likely need a puller if you are replacing the pulley (which is what usually goes bad). Some people say you need to pull the AC condenser and press the new pulley on which is not true at all. This website (http://www.sparkys-answers.com/2009/03/2002-jeep-liberty-intermitent-ac.html) has a really good play by play of it I was having issues with the pictures but if I click them they work. All you really need are the instructions anyway. Long story short, if you cant pull the pulley off with your hands DONT use a pry bar, you can bend the AC motor. Rent a puller from your local party store (NAPA or something) for like 10 bucks a day and do it right. When you put the pulley back on follow his guide exactly, its important it goes back on straight.

I spent a lot of money to get that key programmed. The dealer said he was not able to keep it closed and when he put the key in the ignition and tried to turn it the key would fall apart every time. The dealer told me that the best thing for me to do is return the key. I just want a key that works and will not fall apart when I try to start my vehicle.
