Stalling on start up
I've posted a reply in the "expert advice" area, but not got any joy, so thought I'd try here.
I've got a 2012 WK, which appears to have had the fuel pump relay recall addressed back in 2016 - I say "appears" because I don't remember Jeep saying anything when they did it, but I do have an external relay attached just behind the radiator, which is where I'm led to believe it should be (if the recall was done).
However, the symptoms of the problem that the recall, I believe, was supposed to have fixed (stalling on start up, then refusal to re-start for several subsequent attempts), has occurred twice in the past year - last weekend and about 8 months prior to that, and one other time maybe 4-ish years back - I didn't pay a great deal of attention to it the first time, because it started eventually, and just put it down to a glitch/dirt.
So, the question is, has anyone had the same issue, i.e. the problem reappearing after the recall has been done, and if so, any ideas how to fix it - I know I can run in into Jeep, but I'd be interested if there's a simple fix that I can do myself, without being charged "an arm and a leg" for the privilege.
Is it simply a question of replacing the relay, and if so are they readily available anywhere?
Cheers ... Kimbo
