Generally, those plugs are for things you don't have.
They made one harness for each year XJ and only USED the plugs for the equipment it had. Simple.

Through a calculated process of testing, deductive reasoning and experimentation, using a multi-meter, 12v bulb and a speaker, I have discovered an empty harness for footwell lights and dash speakers.
I did not mess with the complicated plugs that have more than 3-blade connections.
Example; On a 2-blade connection fed by two wires, multi-meter shows 12v only when door plunger is operated and/or headlight switch is turned to dome light ON.
Forget how i figured out the speaker harness, but I do not recommend sticking speaker wires in various plugs with ignition ON. lol That was not how I did it.
But now I have a 6-speaker system on factory harness and lights in each footwell that come on when door is open, along with dome lights.
