.....maybe you forgot to add a ground wire somewhere since you said you replaced every wire in the harness...

EDIT: read "chansed" as "changed" in the Original post.

One of the main wiring connectors, eh? Sounds like it could be the source of your problems... got any better pics of it? where it was laying when you found it, where it connects to, etc?

I can't be 100% sure but I was looking around under the hood of my Cherokee today and I saw a very similar plug that plugs in to a port just down a little bit from the Oil filter. It sticks out from the part the oil filter screws on to. Not sure of the technical name or anything.
