Just so you are aware:

Jeep used ONE wiring harness throughout all the trim levels.

So there CAN be several connectors that go nowhere.


EXAMPLE: My 94 is a "Sport" and did not come with an underhood light BUT the connector is there. Likewise with the interior "footwell" lights (kick-panel lights), My Sport didn't come with them but the wiring is there.

Makes it real nice when you go to the JY. See an option you like but yours didn't come with it...grab it.

P.S. Mine has an underhood light AND footwell lights...NOW

Thats why I bought an SE to build with everything exactly how I wanted it for options. I will have quite a few junkyard upgrades when I am done.

That is only true to a certain degree. I have found that there are not factory plugs for Power seats in models that did not come equipped with them. Then again, its only a Positive and negative wire.

Haynes manuals are good, but when it comes to wiring, mine is missing some of the wiring diagrams. Found this out when i had a wire at the back of the steering column shorting out. Controled the wipers and other stuff. sure was glad for the internet to fix that one.
