Up until the redesign of the XJ, they were still using the AMC parts. And that covered parts from all US auto manufactures. Si finding something with a Ford logo on it would not surprise me at all..

Earlier Cherokees had a big mixture of parts from FoMoCo and GM, so I am not the least surprised. Ignition module is also FoMoCo on many Jeeps. Steering column is Chevrolet on the pre-airbag Jeeps.
