    Nice troubleshooting.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars waldojim42 says:

    My Gladiator has the same water issue… I don't understand either.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Pilkjaer says:

    No comments. Such an ugly solution. The least you could do is to buy OEM conse to make it look less ugly. What about the window switch on the door panel? Is it broken also?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    Break out the Brake Clean! and its gotta be a lot louder…all thru the shop. Even if stops cars on the road.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Blanco 1 says:

    Don’t hate jeeps but I wouldn’t buy one

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Máté János Varga says:

    Christ on a bike, that door loom looks kind of awkward. Glad you are back Ray, hope things will return to normal a 100% soon!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ikantspell4 says:

    Betcha they were happy to have an up window when the storm came in. The passenger flood is something I would've taken much more serious. Do they want rust death? That's how cars get rust!

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gordon Willoughby says:

    You might be able to fix that switch if you can take it apart and clean the contacts and lubricate the parts of the switch that move.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars harry walker says:

    shoulda left the connector hangin out..

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alan Hall says:

    Glad you and family survived the hurricane, I hope the series generated some massive hits to your vlog!! It was fascinating to watch!! ME

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don W says:

    If that other window worked but had a lake in the floorboard before…i wonder how deep the lake got after Ian came through. No worries on content delay…you have a full plate already…the prep and hurricane videos you posted are good to see..even better that you and yours came through ok. i just hope your house guests places all fared well.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eduardo Flores says:

    DOor Leaks all Jeeps have that problem during hard rains has to do with removable doors. You have to bend door to seal at top corner.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph King says:

    What a great selling point. You get a Spa in your car sweet!
    Did a baby Ian come visit before daddy?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Muppet Gump says:

    Waiting for the hydro locked videos to start coming soon . Glad you and your family are ok.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Tiberend says:

    What an smart and quick fix. Can't wait to hear more Doo-Dee-Doos.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars hasv e says:

    Probably faster and easier to take the switch apart and repair it. If it has a dome it might be collapsed and stick down with thr tape that holds it in place.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wabefuhon says:

    Rule of thumb is, either do it right or pay someone to do it.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Westfall says:

    Just. Emptied. Everyone's. Pocket.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Quagmire says:

    Hi Ray, which model of gopro are you using if you don't mind me asking? Video and sound are really impressive!
    Great job Ray, please keep up the good work!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Earl Edwards says:

    I like your light saber!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John LaCroix says:

    TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C J says:

    I would have swapped the switch from the passenger side to the driver so as to not confuse them and explain what you did. Then it would just be a matter of popping the passenger one in later once you get the replacement.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Baker says:

    Hi Ray got your message

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Al Eastwood says:

    Hey Ray do you or any of the viewers know how abam79 made it through the storm he is down your way.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Al Eastwood says:

    Yes Ray good to see you and your family are safe. Many people were not as lucky. Good to see some flicks from work even if they are short. I can imagine for a lot of folks the car is not a priority there are more pressing matters. For the next little while you will probably be seeing a lot of swamped cars with problems from the sea sault, See you in the next vid Ray.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bryan Anderson says:

    I wonder why the owner didn’t pull the floor pan drain plug on the passenger side.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Lanuza says:

    Glad to see things going back to normal for you

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Julzilla says:

    "Is there a 'Ihava Cansur' in the house? Ihava Cansur? Any body?"

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M200 Dreamer says:

    You guys got it way worse than here in the broward area. All we got was windy wind and barely any rain. Glad your okay !

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mykl Langridge says:

    Step one for the owner there, is pull drain plugs to let the water out. Also it only takes a few minutes to pull the carpets out. (Longer to put them back in…) I pull mine out if they get wet, that way the car doesn't start smelling inside and the carpet can dry out on the clothes line.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Hedrick says:

    Good to hear your getting back to normal again. Stay safe Ray

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Welch says:

    Good to see you back Ray ,hope you and your family r safe.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J Wat says:

    The passenger side having water is most likely the owner draining through the floor plugs the drivers side so they can drive it and not bothering to drain the passenger side. I imagine the whole thing was flooded from that storm if they couldn't get a window to roll up.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J Wat says:

    Glad you're with us after that terrible storm. If these are jeep folks how come they don't pull the floor plugs and drain the floor panels? I saw the vids of the storm and I guess it might be a while before folks start thinking clearly again. I know I'd be a whole lot scatter brained for a while after going through what you all went through. Very sorry it happend to you guys.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leif Nilsen says:

    Older jeeps were made much better. Like my friends 1981

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Dot In The Shark says:

    I didn't know you could get after market power windows..and that wiring that was done would scare me.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Guerard says:

    Glad your home made it. It hurts me that you didn't move the switch to the top left so that it matched the window layout. Reeeeeee 😁

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Robles says:

    Similar problem with my kids power wheels i simply pulled it apart and cleaned it up I know that may not be an option as you have to warranty your work

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jimmy, Making it work says:

    Aftermarket power windows. Because hand cranking is so burdensome, lol.

    When I was a kid it was impressive to have power steering and brakes, times have changed….yes I'm old er.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 1320Jay says:

    I’m going to pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans!!!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Louis says:

    The sun roof drain tube needs to be cleaned out ,. Passenger side

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars eric cardinal says:

    Did you find a replacement switch?

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Knight Who says Ni says:

    Love the vids, Ray!! Hope all is getting better with ya’ll in FLA!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Camouflage Peacock says:

    Glad to see you back at the shop!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JKU's rbetter says:

    Only Chrysler would sell a 30k vehicle with crank windows and a minivan engine. Unfortunately, I love off roading so I own one of these master pieces.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris_k says:

    Water in the pass floor of a JK is either a leaking top or a plugged ac drain. And that's some janky aftermarket window setup.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars odysseus hionis says:

    welcome back ray..!!

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Colbert says:

    Oh dang…thought you were back.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Roger Hammond says:

    Ever thought about releasing your "doo-dee-doo-doo-doo" thing as a ring tone?

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dennis morgan says:

    If it were me I would've stolen one of the rear windows switches so they would've had both front windows… but to be honest I wouldn't have thought about it in the moment most likely… another great video though hope the clean up is going ok

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 82 KID J. AVENTURA says:

    Hi Rain Man our power just came back on and I just got the chance to come in and update I hope everything is well I still have the appointment with you for the car but I hope everything is good with you and your family that's more important than cars and videos.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Meade says:

    Just curious why you didn't move the good switch to the driver's side. Anyway, good to hear that things will get back to normal soon. I'm wondering how many cars will have water in them for you to work on.

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Rhoads says:

    Ironically I am watching his mechanic's videos as my key snaps in the ignition of my 2012 Jetta 2.5 SE…………… Sigh. Dealership claims I have to tow the car to them to program the new key. Even though its an old style keyed ignition they say the transponder is still required to start the vehicle. I'm not sure I believe this to be true for my vehicle. And even if it is I have a couple brain cells. So im going to try to use the new key to twist the ignition and hold the old key with the programmed transponder near it to at least start and drive the car to them. lol

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. ♪ says:

    I probably would have just moved one of the rear window switches up to the top and plugged it back in. That way both driver and passenger front windows were functional as the back windows usually aren't always down.

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clint Stathis says:

    Why didn't you stick the passenger side switch in the driver side spot, then run the wire harness out the hole for the passenger switch? Then you could have simply plugged it in and popped it back in place when you get a replacement, instead of taking the dash apart again.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gradyrm237 says:

    Hang in my friend. The worm will turn.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Everhart says:

    People installing power windows in a jeep wrangler are just to lazy to crank down the window.

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NRT Vegas45 says:

    Fait things

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Blish says:

    Glad you & yours came thru!

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John T. says:

    How could the Jeep owner not notice the lack of clickage on that switch.
    Ideally he can contact the seller of that kit and get a new switch sent out, easy fix as those switches only click into place and don't need the dash pulled apart to remove them.

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    Least that crud came apart OK..like Military interchange ability..minus goofy sailors.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wlogan0204 says:

    i want to know ray's opinion on Chrysler
    i work at discount tire and absolutely despise Chrysler/dodge/jeep/ram

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jthonn says:

    could have used the switch for the back window….

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darren says:

    Hi, Ray from Canada Vancouver It's so good to see you YOU SIR don't just have viewers but people that care about you! NOW I can stop biting my nails so happy your safe😃

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Satguy141 says:

    Thank you, Newsome and the Democrats. Because of you, gas is more expensive in California than it is in Alaska.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay's Little Projects says:

    Oh wow that wiring is really shit. I can't believe how someone could do such a bad job of installing those :/.
    Honestly people if you do not know what you are doing then get someone who does to do it.

    Glad you and your family are okay and no issues with out of the normal postings 🙂 I think we can understand why!

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B61 Mack says:

    We all like your videos. But you and your family being safe during that storm was priceless.

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris l says:

    shop seems ok.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul says:

    Camera work is always great.

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lrac Lrac says:

    😂 I mean you could just used the rear window switches also but hey as long as the driver got control that’s all that matters

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars stacie arrigo says:

    Take your time. No rush. We will be here 😊

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ethan says:

    Pretty sure that's a SPAL window and door lock kit. Should be easier to find that switch.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Doe says:

    Those dash panels remind me of the "Snap-Tight" models I used to put together as a kid.

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Holdsworth says:

    On today's episode of Florida man

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Doe says:

    It says cancer… because it's a Jeep thing….. you wouldn't understand. 😀

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Randy Fitz says:

    I like to add a tether to the wire connector for the replacement process. Oh, I see! Welcome back safely post Ian!

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ati Kovi says:

    Coulda swapped in a REAR window switch for even less inconvenience.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars al klapaxida says:

    only if Chrysler made chicks that went down as quick as that window did the world
    would be a better place

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Barbatio says:

    Typical Jeep and Jeep driver. JUNK

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kerry Lewis says:

    Ray is the perfect amount of crazy.

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A T Burke says:

    You are very adaptable and intuitive. Swap out the switch so driver has working window and all windows are up for rain or A/C until you can get or adapt a part . Way to go.

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Milwaukee Road Jim says:

    You do what you got to do

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Nissen says:

    Just pull the switch apart and put the copper lever that popped out of its cradle back in it's place and put switch back together and it will work just fine i have rebuilt about 30 of them cheap switches only takes 10 min tops

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve C says:

    I would have moved the window switch to the other hole and left the wires for the passenger switch hanging out the hole. That way when you get the new switch you can just connect it and shove it in without having to take the console apart again.

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Todd Burgess says:

    Glad you've weathered that storm, but the likelihood of that Jeep's is of most certain doom.
    It's A Jeep Thing

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D Hoop says:

    Are you back up and running rainman?

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan S says:

    So was this Jeep converted from manual windows too power windows why couldn’t they just run the wires through the doors harness

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Peluchette says:

    Glad your back safe now you have an excuse to get that new chain saw seriously thenk the lord that wasn't worse

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mikey says:

    We don't care about Jeeps! We want to see hurricane stuff!

    Totally kidding, Ray! Love your channel and appreciate you keeping it going. I wouldn't worry too much about "daily uploads". Just get everything kind of back to normal. I hope P** S*** in Sarasota hasn't flooded because I've been hearing about secondary flooding from rivers. No matter. You'll do fine and we'll be here when you're back up.

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Henry says:

    Mileage unknown. Ray is off his game, but still an awesome TECH. Cheers

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tyler Hopkins says:

    that water, they were preparing you for the storm is all

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Shaw says:

    Great video Ray, but why didn't you pull the electric window switch's connector out of the panel so you simply could have plugged a newly purchased window switch and plugged it in from the front of the panel? That way you wouldn't have to take the dash apart again.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Judi H. says:

    I wonder if those are factory switches since they seem to be integrated so well.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hiker John says:

    Who the heck puts power windows on a jeep? Sheeesh

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Megan Paull says:

    Good day to you Ray I watched all your videos about the storm and it broke my heart I’m really glad that you are all safe no need to be sorry see you again soon take care 🇦🇺

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ed Chenal says:

    Jeeps have their issues, that is for sure.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dustcommander100 says:

    Jeeps have come so far! Mine had holes in the floor that water shot thru when you ran thru it – but it just ran right back out. Maybe it was an experimental one that was way ahead of its time…. Power windows? Well, they had zippers that went around the clear part. The doors were made from 3/8" steel rod and canvas.

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pasquale Leo says:

    Great that you and your family are safe
    Those look like bmw switches

  99. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RI Bill says:

    Looks like they might be Electric-Life Power Window Switch 99020-B

  100. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Schmohe from Simcoe says:

    I am glad you made it through the fun, I had no doubt your skills would get you through it. I miss my PTO over-driven gen-set I had on my Dodge!
