Default 89 xj under dash wiring

Hello, does anyone have good pictures of the connectors under the dash from the fuse box to the steering wheel and dash? I have an 89 that the previous owner cut up after the ignition switch burnt up. He put in a new steering wheel, but then tried to run the ignition off of a toggle switch. I want to put everything back to stock if possible, but I need a few pictures of what it is supposed to look like so that I can get everything connected to the proper colored wires. Thanks!

Thanks so much dgnoj!


I also have another question: where is the best place to get a kit of replacement O-rings for my injectors? Does anybody sell a set of 6 for both top and bottom? They seem to be different sizes, is that true? Or, will round ones do the job on both ends. I have NAPA, O'Reilly's, and National Autoparts near me.

No worries. Glad someone else could benefit from me ripping my jeep apart

They are the same size O rings. For about double the $ you can get screens & caps too.

I've got almost everything connected, but I have this one hanging with nowhere to go that I can see. Maybe to the gauge cluster?

I also have these 2 others hanging out.

I am heading to the junkyard today to look at the wiring in the Cherokees there. Hopefully I can figure out where everything goes.

Did you ever figure out the harnesses? The small 3 wire is for a service timer (removed mine). But I have the same 2 harnesses that IDK where they go, everything else is good under my dash.

The upper left hand corner of a persons post shows the post date. You have responded to a very old post. That member hasn't posted on CF for 4 years BTW.

I saw that it was an old post. I have recently purchased an XJ in very excellent shape, and have done all but 2 of your Renix tips. I am getting ready to put the dash all back together and have the same 2 harnesses in the photo, and was hoping he had got the answer. I am still new to the site and am trying to figure it out (the reason I haven't made many posts).
