These mirror videos are so useful. One thing to add, make sure the big springs and the bar they clip round are kept oiled, so they don't rust. Both of mine did, and the bottom springs broke, leaving the mirrors a little wobbly.

[@ProjectDanH]

So true! Thanks for the info!

[@andremax3262]

One more excelent video ...about ZJ fix by yourself. Congratulations.

[@ProjectDanH]

thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@opkoppinen1907]

If you have problems with memory, just drive mirrors from end to end multiple times. That cleans the contact taps and they will work again without need to teardown

[@ProjectDanH]

this works sometimes, not always.. many times a teardown is necessary

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

ya helped me out , thanks ... 32 year mechanic, but getting the mirror apart was stumping me a bit

[@ProjectDanH]

Lol, It always helps to see things before hand

[@garfieldverdine8777]

Great job. I have a 97 5.2, almost all the parts are interchangeable. I think that's fresh👍🏽

[@ProjectDanH]

It sure is! God bless!

[@wyattoneable]

Delicate work but you got it figured out. This will be a nice tutorial for those who need it.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks man! Hope it helps someone along the way 🤞

[@GoatOffroad]

You love tinkering with electronics! You have much patience 🦗🤣❤️🐞

[@ProjectDanH]

Lol.. I guess I do! It's fun as long as it works in the end 😁

[@ChrisTheAdMan]

Awesome vid! Gotta do the same with both my mirrors, had no idea that electrochromic glass was that expensive, wow!

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks Chris! Yeah too rich for my blood.. I opted to bypass the Auto Dim this time around. Still, very impressive for a mid 90's Jeep.

[@marioruopolo]

Hey man! pardon my poor english... I just want to thank you for your knowledge sharing. My left mirror goes down when I try to use memory 2, and now I can understand the issue and hope will resolve it properly... Your other videos about the ZJ are AWESOME too. Thanks again, and as we say in México: Eres un chingón carnal.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thank you for watching! you motor contacts are probably dirty causing the mirror to default to a down position. You will have to take apart your mirror and clean the contacts.

[@joseleandry2055]

Dan you are really a cherokee guru!

[@ProjectDanH]

haha.. thanks man. just trying to learn 😁

[@Ozzy5610]

Meticulous Dan, great job! It’s basically a limited now.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks bro! Lol.. you're right 😁

[@garyhowell738]

You should fix my mirrors, seeing as you're so good at it at this point. Another awesome video

[@ProjectDanH]

🤣 Sure! why not!

[@Threesixty31]

Good job and many thanks. Thanks to you I will be able to solve an issue I have for 5 years. Idea for a future tutorial: swapping the steering wheel. I see yours is also in bad condition.

[@ProjectDanH]

YW man, its funny, your the 2nd person to suggest a steering wheel fix from this vid 🤣 guess i know what i have to do!

[@reptilian6413]

ohh nice the memory on my wj does re-adjust itself, I know what I am doing this weekend.

[@ProjectDanH]

Good luck brother! Hope your able to fix it. Maybe order some extra glass Incase the mirrors give you guff

[@reptilian6413]

@@ProjectDanH I have already had my glass off since the auto dim fluid leaked. I am holding out on replacing mine because I want another auto dim replacement but just the glass it 100$ lol

Nice job dan👍🏾

Thank you Sir!

Great video , ty brother

[@titusclark5432]

Hey Dan, nice work on those mirrors. Let me know if you are still interested in that sunroof. It is out of a 97 XJ. Hopefully it will work on your ZJ.

[@ProjectDanH]

Absolutely, is there a way to arrange shipping? ill pay what it costs 😁

[@mecaNIC0]

Nice vídeo i have problems with the memory function and the autodimming mirror on my Jeep, i hope my mirror haven't glue behind 😅

[@ProjectDanH]

oh noo! the electrochromic gel is probly all dried up and your contacts on the mirror are most likely dirty. crack that bad boy open and dig in!

[@13yearsaprepperr.jtilbury.51]

Hey dan i use @mem 2 for looking at the rear wheels when 4x4ing

[@ProjectDanH]

that's a great way to utilize the settings 👍

[@SuperZeadz]

Not a problem, or a problem😂😂😂

[@ProjectDanH]

Huge problem! Lol!

[@gameboy5190]

You have exact same jeep as mine...wondering if you can make a video on heated seat repair if yours doesn't work

[@ProjectDanH]

Absolutely.. I already did! I'm gonna have to edit and refilm because I want to integrate the memory seats in too

[@gameboy5190]

@@ProjectDanH alright 👍, looking forward to the video hopefully I can get mine fixed with it ..thank you

[@ProjectDanH]

@@gameboy5190 check out my "perfect XJ" vid.. I do a brief overview of the heated seat fix.. it could point you in the right direction

[@crayfishroll]

I love the zj build Dan !!!! Question though will you do a video on how to restore the steering wheel leather because that's one thing I need to tackle in my zj

[@ProjectDanH]

lol. Every single time I sit in the ZJ I debate weather or not to re-wrap it or just replace the whole thing. What option would you like to see?

[@crayfishroll]

@@ProjectDanH I would love to see rewrap....I have looked at replacements at my local pick and pull and it was impossible to find a decent steering wheel that was molested ...... They have some kits on eBay too that aren't pretty reasonable !

[@ProjectDanH]

@@crayfishroll sounds good! Another project on the list!

[@wildbill23c]

Luckily my 98 ZJ doesn't have the memory feature LOL. The memory feature in my 96 ZJ was always haywire it seemed. The memory feature in my 96 ZJ also was supposed to readjust the driver's seat along with the mirrors, none of it ever worked properly, so I'm not upset that my current ZJ doesn't have that feature. The auto dimming mirrors are very nice to have though.

[@ProjectDanH]

🤔 I wonder if your memory buttons got water in em an maybe shorted something?? Oh well either way theyre gone now, lol. Maybe one day Ill hunt down that auto dim feature.

[@wildbill23c]

@@ProjectDanH That whole door panel got water in it quite frequently, but they never worked from the beginning so it wasn't a water problem it was a factory design flaw. My 96 ZJ was offroad more than it was on the highway LOL, it was covered in mud most of the 8 years I owned it, and it still managed to be trouble free till the viscous coupler in the transfer case failed around the 219K mark and I finally sold it at 232K miles still ran and drove great just needed a transfer case rebuild or replacement, and the guy who owns it now just swapped the 249 out and put a 242 in it and has been driving it daily the past several years trouble free as well...not sure if that thing will ever die last I saw it this spring he had 680k on it.

Thanks :)

[@danhambrick6331]

This must have been filmed a while back because there are some leaves still on the trees...lol...

[@ProjectDanH]

TBH This vid was filmed on 4 different dates one of them as early as 11/6. I get so confused sometimes!

[@gummbo1987]

how do you remove the round piece without breaking the tabs? I have tried twice and every time I break the tabs off.

[@ProjectDanH]

time stamp it.

[@FR0MMEL]

Nice video! Still on the hunt for a chromatic mirror lol. Do you have memory seats as well or do you need a separate chip in the seats for that?

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks Brother! I have a 5.9 memory seat but the leather was bad. I was in the process of putting the memory module on my 4.0 seats but realized all the motors are different. memory motors have an extra solenoid on them. maybe one day I'll just replace the whole frame but till then I shelved the memory seat function project.

[@robertbeebe1389]

Hello Dan I have a question I disconnected my battery and reconnected the terminal and the mirrors memory mirrors reset every time I turn the key off anon how can I fix it 😭

[@ProjectDanH]

Oh my. That's bizarre. Have you disconnected the battery since?

[@gameboy5190]

So I have the same exact cherokee...but I have a problem with trying to get it to go past 70mph and my overdrive is ON ....it doesn't overheat or anything it runs great and drives...but the problem where it only covers half the speedometer...I was flooring it and it just would never go past 70...u know why? Or how I can fix?

[@ProjectDanH]

Hey,. Thanks for the question. That's very strange to me. I haven't experienced a problem like that. Maybe the overdrive is says it's on but it's not engaged. Any check engine lights?

[@gameboy5190]

No no overheat, no problems at all with engine except that....the overdrive.should I try driving with the light on?

[@ProjectDanH]

Im not sure man. Id love to help but I'm not but familiar with that problem and wouldn't want to steer you in the Wrong direction

[@smitty4699]

my driver side memory mirror on my 04 zj wont hold the memory, it readjusts itself every time i get out of the car.. thoughts?

[@ProjectDanH]

Possibly a bad connection between that chip and the contact. Grab an extra piece of mirror glass and wel open it up and see 😁

[@georgekilroy2670]

That’s the entire housing that rotates so you can protect it when you park next to someone…

[@ProjectDanH]

👍

[@bradleylester4230]

Hey Dan, I'm having an issue with my mirrors tilting down and not returning to the up position. Every time I enter my ZJ I have to adjust both mirrors up. As long as I don't use the key fob to lock the vehicle the mirrors will stay. I've tried setting the memory on the door but the mirrors don't seem to accept the memory set. Help me out brother! Lol

[@ProjectDanH]

you'll have to dig into the motor and clean the contacts out and make sure they are making a good connection. overtime crud and ware will disrupt your connection making your mirrors to go into default mode resetting then to the down and away position.

[@bradleylester4230]

Thanks a lot man!

[@safacinklc6381]

I have the same problem with mine "98 zj. Could you solve the problem, if so could you tell me how thanks!

[@FR0MMEL]

Awesome video! but,.. mennn.., Finally found a working chromatic mirror. Shipped over to The Netherlands, and that that piece shit was so hardly glued on the bracket that I broke the mirror while removing it. There was no way I could save the mirror. Bye bye $$.. I was wondering if you could re-fill those electrochromatic mirrors. As long as the glass is not broken you should able to remove the old liquid with a needle and re-fill with fresh electrochromic gel right? Anyway, next time if I ever find a electrochromatic mirror, I will destroy the whole casing for it in order to safe the glass. blegh such a sad day

[@ProjectDanH]

damn dude, so depressing. you've been looking so hard for one. maybe someone can make you a new set

[@georgekilroy2670]

my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee driver side mirror rotates way past the normal detent. In fact it rotates forward towards the front of the car and when I push to rotate in it keeps going until it crunches to a stop. I tried rotating it a few times to reset the rotation range but to no avail. Is there a memory chip for this function? Why all of the sudden did this happen, I looked online and other JGC’s have this issue also…

[@ProjectDanH]

Its usually due to bad contacts in the motor. you may have to take it apart and clean it
