Quadratic has quick shipping.

Looks like the same area that was "wet" just decided to be "drippy". Seam area in reservoir seems to be the culprit. Likely thinner fluid in hot climate made the inevitable happen sooner. Oh well.

Do I need one from an i4 or are these interchangeable in TJs?

[Wingman]

I4 reservoirs are unique to themselves.

Starter isn't starting. Have plenty of bat. Relays for fuel  and starter click. Just doesn't spin the motor. Bypassing the solenoid spins the starter but doesn't actually turn the motor over. Is it worth replacing just the solenoid or just do the whole starter assembly?

[etk300ex]

So the starter spins but not engaging?

[jaysenodell]

Only when shorted. Key does nothing.

[mr.mindless]

Short from the big lug on the starter (always live) to the little lug (trigger wire from ignition)

If it turns the motor over something else is going on. If it doesn't, replace the starter and you're done.

What's the magic tool to get the starter off? No idea what those heads are. Nothing in my kit fits.

So it looks like a 12pt 3/8" should get it? Just making sure I read that right.

Mine looks like the T55 torx socket I use for hinge removal. My chiltons manual didn't say what the bolt "should" be.

from what i read its either or of the 2

I'm not sure if you have Amazon Prime.  if you don't, its well worth looking into the Prime. As you know, the selection of stores around in this area aren't that great so I buy all the stuff on Amazon and get it 2 days later.

My wife and I both have Prime.
It's worth every penny.
Our UPS guy is like family.
