So Ive had my 03 KJ for almost 4 months. On the way to pick up my SIRIUS b-day present I started to hear this god awful crackling noise. It was drivers side and I zeroed in on the tweeter speaker on top of the dash. I put my hand over it and the noise seemd to muffle. I then used the radio controls to zero in on the front left speakers and no noise. I then turned the radio off, noise was still there. I figured out the noise comes at about 40 MPH or so. (I later figured out it goes away after 80 MPH John West Lawn, PA (o/s Reading) LOST 720 03 Red KJ Freedom Edition |

Hi, new here. I would check to see if the ground strap(s) is/are loose first. Common cause of engine noise through the radio. |

Stupid question...the ground straps are the inch or so wide braided material right? Do you know where they are found underneath the KJ? Thanks for the help! |

Yes, if you have the 3.7 liter, there should be two coming together fastened high to the firewall. Check for a good connection there and follow the other ends to the engine block and make sure they are snug. |
