If u buy one for a 96 xj it just plugs in! I would get one from a junk yard. It plugs in right behind the driver rear plastic panel in the cargo area. No diagram needed its tard proof. And from a pick and pull junk yard probably $5. Just saying.

i would see if a cherokee has one in the JY, or price one at U-Haul. But you want something that plugs into the harness, there is NO room to work in the tail light housing.... hahaha you would have to pull the entire panel...
