Hello,

im restoring a jeep xj 2001 , and while removing the dashboard and tryin to disconnect the sentry harness , it broke and all wires are dangling .

i need a photo or color code and how was the wire connected

 

If you head over to Cruiser54's website here you can download the full FSM for the 2001 XJ. Inside the download is a file called 01XJEE.PDF , that one has all of the wiring diagrams with colours and connector pin outs inside. The info you need is probably under "8Wa-39 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM" , "8Wa-49 OVERHEAD CONSOLE" and "8Wa-80 CONNECTOR PIN-OUTS".

If you can't understand the diagrams, tell me what colours you do have and post a picture of exactly where the wiring is located so I can try and find it for you.

 

didnt find wire colors or connectors in the pdf , or i cant read that

the plug goes to the immobilizer next to the key cylinder

 

Check page #484 "8Wa - 80 - 103"

The first connector sounds right. If so, why they thought using the same colours for the ignition live and CCD Bus wire I have no idea. Use a multimeter and check which wire gives you +12V on ignition. Keep the wires apart so you don't short anything out.

 

thank you found the page , lets hope i can find which white/black wire is the correct spot

 

It's silly why they chose to use the same coloured wire for a live and the Bus system. I don't know what sort of reading you'd get with a multimeter if you probed the Bus wire, hopefully someone with experience with it may be able to help you figure out if both wires read similarly.

 

You're a blessing for that link, sir. Thank you very much.
