I have a 97 base xj with manual door locks and windows. I want to install power door locks with keyless start. I've read posts about what people have done, but wanted to know what the best kit might be. I understand that the stock power locks are pretty weak, so I'm wondering what the best aftermarket kit is. Also and instructions or quirks for the xj would be appreciated!

Most of the stock power lock issues are weak connection issues, i.e. voltage drops. Fix the connections and stock works great. Given that, a junkyard run for a Cherokee electric lock system maybe the choice to make, assure all connections are good upon instal. No customizing required.

Find a parts rig, get the door panels/switches and you need the floor harness and the harness from each door, along with locks and window motor assembly’s. I’ve done it twice, takes a bit of time but worth it, where are you located, I have a parts Xj in the Seattle area

I've heard that the factory sensor is pretty bad, so I'm going with some aftermarket 35 dollar cheapos. Hopefully the install is easy. Thanks ya'll.
