My stereo just got stolen! Need some advice
So my stereo was stolen and they took my factory wiring harness so now it's just a bunch of wires. I figured out everything and then installed this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-1996-Je...ht_1840wt_1163 just to discover that I'm an idiot and this is the female connector and not the male connector. Does anyone know of a male connector for our cars (mine's a 93) that's used to repair the factory wiring harness in situations like this, or is there something else that I'm overlooking?

Best Buy and places like that usually have a pretty good selection of pigtails and plugs and whatnot. Maybe try radio shack too. Other than that, junkyard I guess...the jerk who ripped mine off was nice enough to unplug it and leave the factory plug.

I would use that list as reference and check everything as you go.
The only place that's going to ahve a Jeep wiring harness is a junk yard. I doubt you can even get that pigtail from the dealer.

I wire all my aftermarket head units (and amps.) directly. ran new one piece wires (no splices) for power, ground and speakers. No harness, too easy to steal. And less problems. Besides factory speaker wire is 18 GA. and I prefer 16 GA. Also makes it easier to track down any problems, should there be any.
