Fast Idle and Fan Override - Jeep Cherokee XJ

[@chrissweisberger7509]

thank you , ive been looking for both mods and will install with 1N535349 5 zenser diodeS inline

[@bart055]

Great video! I was wondering what seats you have?

[@houseprojects9810]

I was just about to ask this!! 😂

[@PabstBoys]

Awesome Video Guys!!! You're really stepping up your game! Cheers!

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+Pabst Boys Roadhouse much obliged fellow brethren!!

[@Everyday-xj]

We are both stationed in North Carolina but originally from Kansas and Pennsylvania

[@Everyday-xj]

+Pabst Boys Roadhouse Hey find me on the book face again "Max Imus" and did you give credit where credit's due before you gave credit for the stepping up of game...sure "stepping up of game" was done before by someone..lol

Pretty good video. I have the EXT IDLE button sending a ground signal to relays for both the idle up mod and the fan override mod. Its handy having them work together since the high idle increases coolant flow. It also saves room and let's you use the 4 hole bezel if your lucky enough to find one. If you want to throw a code just put the AC on. I'm pretty sure you'll get the code Cuz the computer is selfish and doesn't want to give up control. I went through the whole winter with no code, then finally when I needed AC I got the CEL. Still looking for a solution. Thanks!

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

That sounds like great set up! Thanks for sharing. Good idea to save some switch space. I might have to look into that in the near future.

[@TheMrc226]

same thing happened to me, no code, AC on got code. hope you can find a solution. Ivè been looking at diodes but haven`t found a way of making it work. Good luck! Ill be looking. if I find something ii`l let you know.

[@shaneb1313]

I hooked mine up with a four pin relay so that the computer will still operate it as well

[@beersngearz781]

Nice video

[@travismcvey]

Extended idle. When you did your test it was only a .1 volt difference, and like you said it doesn't seem like a big deal, but you also have a 5.9 140A alternator, and it can provide more power at idle over a stocker. Also what you may have missed is the fact that as you increase the load at idle that voltage will drop. Most alternators (and probably no factory) aren't designed to put out maximum power at idle. They usually don't start until 1000/1200 rpm. So that being the way they work with you're extended idle at 1000 rpm the alternator will keep up with the heavy amp draw where as it can't at 750 rpm. Oh, and one other thing people don't catch with the extended idle is that you're also increasing the coolant flow through the system, and effectively helping keep the engine at proper operating temp when parked. Fan over ride, and the probably the real reason you don't alway get a code. When the PCM sets a code it takes several key cycles (unless is a gross misfire code) for it to actually light the MIL. So if you don't use that override every time you drive your rig it could take quite some time for it to actually throw the code.

[@vwclub3]

My 99 i did it on firewall plug (high idle)

[@davidvoinier6008]

One other point about the extended idle switch. It keeps your oil pressure up near 40 psi.

[@RavenRedwood]

More pressure = more lubrication = more better

[@MrTwitch37]

Is the back feeding issue going to harm the pcm?

[@OutJeeping]

Wow im impressed with the production level of this video. Just stumbled across this video and now you got another sub.

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

Thanks! Means a lot. I like to take my time and make a quality video when I can.

[@donaldfafard]

hey *Enlisted*. the reason I don't think the long wire to your switch is the reason it won't throw a code is because when you demo'd it in the beginning with a short wire to ground, it didn't throw a code. you could try throwing a code by doing that again for longer periods of time to see if it throws a code. .

[@mariafernandasoto6120]

Enlisted Budget Videos Its a good video.... But if I have othe kind of computer? Can I do the same with the extended idle?

[@jackboerger5803]

the switch panel has an led which is a diode that is why it didn't throw the code

[@donaldfafard]

seriously? what a great idea. use an LED switch and it kills two birds with one stone. genius. .

[@maxowens5345]

Getting ready to check my overheating 98 XJ fan system. Nice video and thumbs up on the General AT2's = Awesome tires! Just put on my second new set in about 7 years!

[@craigbarnett3665]

Thanks, I have been researching this myself.

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

No problem man. For the people by the people.

[@heathpierce9889]

i did the fan switch mod today, thanks. i do have a ck eng light. got to research a diode now.

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

Heath Pierce use a switch with an LED light in it. That may fix it. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a diode all the same.

[@SRMitchell91]

Enlisted Budget Videos How would you wire this? Most led switches have 3 terminals. I understand how to wire a two terminal switch for the C2 wire. But how do you integrate the LED so it prevents the CEL?

[@TheMrc226]

First, I want to thank you for your service! I did the wireing and it worked fine until I turned on the AC. I instantly got CEL. If you can figure out a way of getting rid of that I would love to do it. Thanks

[@kevefox]

Great video! I'll be installing my 4 switch panel/ext idle switch soon. The fan ground will absolutely be coming soon too. Nice editing too. Thank you for serving our country!

[@nuanenfreohr]

Yeah I drive a 91 XJ- so I'm out of luck on this mod, but great video regardless 😅

[@richfisherman2664]

Were did you get the front fender armor? Nice video tks

[@skl1cent]

Great video but I still don't understand how you setup the switch so it grounds out? lol I'd like to see how the switch is wired

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

The switch is operated off the ground wire from the appropriate wire for the efan or the high idle. Literally splice in, run the ground wire to a switch, and then a ground somewhere close by.

[@agustinhidalgo405]

Did u use a 3 prong led switch or 4 pin switch

[@daronsmith3079]

So I tried this today but when I connected everything up the way you said my engine started running rough and tripped a code so I went ahead and tested the wire with a volt meter and it has 13 V going to it ??

[@balzarini51]

when i did mine there were several "grey" wires. one grey and black, one grey and red and two solid grey. be sure to get pin 12A. not just any wire that has grey on it

[@ConscientiousObserver]

Why not just adjust the idle so it is always over 1000 rpm? fuel savings?

[@MrMrsregor]

high idle is not wanted for driving or shifting into drive, mostly for winching, OBA, on borad welder.....things like that....

[@delinquentdesign]

It works for you because your light switch has an led inline light emitting "diode"

[@adamswaz4878]

Does either of these need an inline fuse

[@Everyday-xj]

That contraption doesn't look like a ham.

[@warhawkgarage]

Quick question are those seats in the XJ factory? If not what did they come out of? They look nice, also cool video thanks

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

They are leather seats out of a WJ. Easy swap, just bolt the seats to an XJ seat track and you're golden.

[@warhawkgarage]

Thanks I will have to see what I can find to replace mine with.

[@ericgoldsmith1603]

hey yall good video but which wire would it be for the idle on 96 and below. oh and I hope yall had at fun at ure open weekend

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+Eric Goldsmith Hey Man man, long time no see! The pin outs for 95 thru 91 are as follows: Pin 10 purple wire on your 60 pin connector.

[@ericgoldsmith1603]

+Enlisted Budget Videos which one is idle I've already done the fan override

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

Sorry, at work, that one is for ext idle.

[@thomasjennings1566]

+Eric Goldsmith hey did you ever get the high idle to work on your 96?

[@ericgoldsmith1603]

+Thomas Jennings not yet I really haven't time to but next week I am gunna try it

[@Rugsadventures]

so i need to put a witch on that ground wire?

[@ColbyChase24]

Did you make the front fender flares or buy them?

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+ThatFucinDood I made them myself. It's difficult to do. That's why they can cost a lot lol

[@Dino30ish]

Are you the same guy in the Ironman Videos ?

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+Norman Murray yup that is me. Since I work for them now you will see more coming from ironman than here but content will come out every once and awhile on here.

[@AWD_T]

did your jeep come with leather seats? thanks

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+tk106 no it did not. They are from a WJ I found in my local pick and pull. The bolt pattern for the seat is the same as the XJ seat tracks so it is easy to swap in.

[@AWD_T]

Thanks for the response! So no fab work at all?

[@AWD_T]

What year WJ? thanks

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+tk106 nope no fab work. Unbolt your seat from your XJ and bolt that WJ seat on. Easy peasy. I think it was a 99' doesn't matter as long as it's a WJ or ZJ with leather seats. You can even wire in the adjustment motors if you wanted. I didnt. Cost too much from the yard.

[@AWD_T]

Enlisted Budget Videos Awesome. Thank you so much!

[@ANasCarBoi]

Um my 89 XJ idles at 900 when in drive with the brakes fully applied, but at 1100 in neutral. Lol

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

Then you have an issue my friend. Check TPS voltage. Check for vacuum leaks. Two common issues.

[@ANasCarBoi]

well I am bringing it in tomorrow to work with my mechanic on getting a bunch of stuff fixed for an upcoming wheeling trip. I'll add that to the list!

[@t54760]

@1:40 You say ". . . you get a thousand rpms over your idle" @4:40 It appears to only show around 300 rpm bump when you throw the switch. What am I missing? Anyway appreciate you guys, I subscribed awhile back. Good info and entertaining.

[@EnlistedBudgetVideos]

+Tom Open You're 100 percent correct. Was hoping nobody would notice. I meant to say you get a 1000rpm idle over just 750 or so rpms.

[@justincrump6671]

just watched ur vid.... inspired me to dig threw my wires... both work flawlessly... im runing my tago switchs as we speak... thank u for shearing this now i can add more lights and not worrie so much
