I disconnect them for friends with xj's all the time. It's a way to let you know to check your Oxygen sensor... Shortly after my light went on, and I disconnected it, my O2 sensor went bad... but, does the GW have an O2 sensor??? john At 09:45 AM 5/28/00 -0700, James Blair wrote: >How the heck do you turn this puppy off?

From what I've noticed, it seems that the cooling is done in cycles. The coolant in the water jackets gets real hot, the thermostat opens, the hot coolant comes pouring into the top of the radiator. "cooler" coolant gets pumped into the block. Stat closes, cycle repeats. What was suppose to discolor the beautiful lime green? I missed that part.

Not hot would explain it. I'm still rebuilding this monster, haven't had it farther than the end of my driveway. Here in Houston, we're averaging about 98 in the shade right now. I'll let it run for a while and see ehat happens. Thanks!

First I ever heard of this light on an FSJ; I have no idea what it might be hooked up to that would trip it. ________________________________________________ Bob Barry MailTo:RBarry-at-Providence.Edu http://studentweb.providence.edu/~rbarry/wheels/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 May 2000 13:45:36 EDT From: ATBigfoot-at-aol.com Subject: fsj: '86 GW rear window defroster Can't get mine to stay on any longer than 20 seconds before relay kicks out.
