My CJ5 and CJ7 were a piece of cake. My k10 isn't bad. 1st time on one of these though. I'm sure my neck will be happy with me when I'm done 😆
Thanks for the tip!

Where do you guys typically order parts from? Seems most sites LOVE to charge high shipping unless over $150. Ecklers had everything in stock. Zip was out. Amazon had 2 items but also charge high shipping.

👍🏻I use prime the most. I did quite well with my nova on there. So far with my C3 it has been better elsewhere.

The hard to find stuff feebay has been king. NOS and decent used items are great.

Ok so the clicking sound coming from the little silver box when I try to start the car is actually the Anti Theft Alarm Relay. I did some research last night and this morning. I had no idea these cars had this. It's located toward the seat side in the jack compartment. I get 3 beeps after I attempt to start the car and that box will click everytime I turn the key when it doesn't want to start. All dash lights work, door buzzer, courtesy light. I have a feeling this issue is going toward the anti theft system these cars have. Since the parts were quite cheap I'll still replace the junction box and ignition just to be sure but again it makes more since it might be the anti theft system. I believe the system is connected to the door ajar buttons if I read it right. Not sure if a switch is affecting that anti theft system or if the relay is intermittently going out. The car does have an alarm and a small remote box with 2 lights under the dash with a button on it that appears to be part of the alarm system. If you flick that box it blinks. It may blink because it detects movement. Or it's shorting out. Today if it doesn't start I'll flick the box and give it a try. The pics below are of the Anti Theft Alarm Relay near the jack compartment that clicks when the car doesn't start.
