I went from an aftermarket radio to the factory radio. Does anyone know where the chassis ground wire gets plugged back into and a picture to go with it.

Thanks

My 99 has a ground that rests on its own. No clue where it goes but if you look through the forums you can find where the ground locations are, or you can make your own. There were changes in the 97+ jeeps

Yup at the back there is a clip on the top if I remember right and its just for the gound only, I though it was build into the harness like the older one but its not.

Okay I see I need to add a male end onto it for it to go into the ground. Or I can add it on with electrical tape. Thanks. Will it be okay to drive till I have time to do it tomorrow?
