I just bought a nice headliner from the junk yard. It has some things that mine doesn't. It's from a 1988 Cherokee Sport 4 door or that's what it was labled. Mine is a 1989 Cherokee Sport 2 door. There is a sensor between the sun visors that looks like a camera. Is that a climate sensor? It looks factory. Inside theres a circuit board with a 7 wire plug going to it. Does anyone know what this is?
The other hold is a rectangular hole hear the hatch in the center of the headliner. There is a clean spot across the headliner so I'm thinking there was something mounted..also looked factory.
Any help would be appreciated. Oh...also different from mine, this year had back shoulder seat belts bolts through the headliner and my 2 door doesn't. I'm thinking it might be a mid 90's Cherokee and not a 1988.

The thing in the front was prolly Key Fob. I am thinking you prolly got a 98 headliner lol. The rear spot is cargo lights. not sure what you mean by the clean spot.

this pic is from an 87 if it helps ya any

DearJimmy

Here are some pictures. I've seen dash mounted items like this which I assuned was part of the climate control. Why this would be ceiling mounted I don't know. The housing has a chrysler part number 55215544. There is a picture of the rear hole too. It had a factory bracket where something was bolted. You can see the light spot where whatever was bolted went from window to window attached to the headliner across the ceiling.

Yeah, that is a 98 more than likely. 80s models did not have keyless entry. The clean area that you're reffering to is where a speaker bar went across the back. Someone must have gotten to it before you did!! HTH!!

First pic is Key Fob


2nd Don't know I know i Bought an over head console from a junk yard that i didnt use and it had the same boards in it.

3 rd pic i would have to say is for overhead speakers I have seen them installed on Jeeps never stock though so it may have been an add-on that was removed.

DearJimmy

OH!!!!!! You meant it's a pick up sensor for the keyless entry!!! I thought you meant a key holder when you said key fob!!! Thanks for the insight everyone!!!

I have an 89 Cherokee 2 door. Will a 4 door headliner fit it? Just wondering.

COSXJFAN

I dunno, but it should...??

gasman

i suspect you are right mid 90's and the clean spot i would bet it from the missing sound bar

I dont know my dads 90 had keyless entry. I thought some of the higher end 80s models did have keyless entry.
