88 Comfort power switch
The power Comfort switch the wires that comes out the wires go to the switch itself started getting hot and melting and I pulled the black wire out of the dash and I'm trying to figure out what color other two bars was coming that was there with it so I can get it back to working because it's stuck in power and I can't get it out the power modes on and I can't turn it off or the comfort is I don't know cuz I don't know what color wires on I'm trying to find

There are 3 wires.
Black is ground. (Pin A)
TAN: (Pin C) Goes to pin C11 on the ECU
Black-Yellow (Pin B) goes to the transmission fuse.
Having said that, Jeep ditched the switch in '91 so it's always in Power. I always leave mine in power. I find the Comfort setting too sluggish.

Here ya go. THE HISTORY OF THE 4.0
The switches had a high failure rate.
Remove and unplug the switch. In the harness are 3 wires. One has a stripe, one is tan, and the other wire is black.
Make a 4″ jumper wire with a male spade at each end.
Plug one end of the jumper wire in the cavity for the tan wire and the other in the cavity for the striped wire of the harness and you’ll be in permanent Power mode.
Stuff the harness back in and reinstall the switch for looks if you want.
Make sure the 7.5 amp “Trans” fuse in the fusebox is good.
If you happen to have a 91 or 92 XJ/MJ and it has the Power/Comfort switch, just jumper the Tan and Blue wires in the harness plug.
NEVER include the black wire when jumpering!!!
