1997 zj overhead console ?
Ive been wanting to brighten up the look of my 2000 xj interior so I had an idea, I always have thought that the zj overhead consoles are sweet so I went to the boneyard and picked one up out of a 1997 zj. Now my question is, how in the heck do I wire it in? All I want it for is the temp and compass nothing else. Please help?
|
There should be a wire harness up under the headliner already. But the plug ends might not be the same. Might have to splice it. Also might need a temp sending unit.
|
I was reading up on it and people are saying there is no way to hook up the temp sensor because in the newer zjs it was sensed from the computer?
|
Experts I need help please :)

Sell the ZJ model, and use the money for a XJ model. There all over E-Bay.

heres my zj one in my 97
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...u/DSC02353.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...u/DSC02354.jpg the wiring can be easily redone to make the outside temp and compass work but the MPG stuff is a no go...you can prob fit an xj computer in a zj one they look identical . just to let you know i got ride of mine for the xj one because i wanted all the functions but if you dont care about mpg just make the temp/compass work send me a pm if you need a hand with wiring |
so question related to the topic. what years of te XJ will fit the 2000 xj and bolt/plug right in...\
ive always wanted to do this but didnt know what it really took to do it. |
any year ohc will fit on the roof 97-01 but wiring wise i believe 00-01 have similar wiring aka 2 plug and 97-99 have 3 plug all with slight varying pin outs
|
awsome thanks for the info.
|
I know the thread is old. I used the search button ;)
I have a 97. The wire harness is already in the roof top waiting for OHC to plug in? Or so I need the harness? XJ or ZJ console same? |
You need the harness for the display to work(OHC down the pass side A-pillor to the junction block in the pass kick panel)
its also wired into the visors, I cut and spliced it into my visors rathern then tracking them down. The junction bloxk/body side is pre wired. Don't forget teh roof bracket... not made anymore :) |
