Shortly after giving up on that while working on the fan and water pump pulley, I happened to look down through the engine bay and happened to see the missing fender\/grille bolt &#8211; under the Jeep, almost smack in the middle. HTF did it make it all the way over there, having to fall down from the top of the grille and taking a trip almost 5 feet from the front of the Jeep?! I should go on The Price is Right and play Plinko! After getting the bracketry and fan belts back on, I finished up the start solenoid by tipping and installing the neutral safety switch and &#8220;12C&#8221; wire from the engine harness. Got dark, so I&#8217;ll hit it again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230220_155740242_HDR-rotated.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230220_155740242_HDR-rotated.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230220_155740242_HDR-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>The missing fender\/grille bolt after taking a ride nobody would&#8217;ve foreseen&#8230; just sitting there, laughing at me for wasting a half hour digging around inside the grille with the magnets.
