Plan in replacing the headliner in the next couple weeks so I went out to the junkyard to look for a rear soundbar. No luck on the soundbar but did come across an overhead console. Score!!! So $40 bucks later had the console, the wire harness for it and the sun visors with mirrors/lights. After I got home I started reading on how to install it and noticed I didn't grab the outside temperature sending unit. I would go back to get it of the Cherokee I got the console from but it was hit in the front an nothing is left of it. So where could I find this guy and where could I get the harness for it? I read it connects to a connector located behind the battery but I need the sensor and harness. Anything else I may need to get this bad boy going?

Bump

 

JY being the obvious answer....
I would say try napa but it's hight unlikely
I could grab one from my local JY and ship it for a fee
Let me kno

 

teamcherokee.com sells the sensor, that is where I got mine.

 

I looked at the site and couldn't find it. Maybe discontinued or something. You have a link too it?

 

Sounds good. I'm gonna check out the local jy here. If they don't have one I'll send ya a PM to work out tw details.

Now will I need a harness for this bad boy or should my Cherokee have the pre existing harness tucked away as it didn't come with an overhead console?

 

Only one way to find out

 

Well I pulled the Overhead console apart last night and it looks like the display screen may be blowen out. Looks like as if a fuse blew. Anyways gonna hook it up tomorrow to see if even turns on. Should it not turn on, anyone have a link or part number to replace it? Thanks!

 

Once its all plugged in and the jeep is running, start pressing the buttons
That's how I got mine to work
Only shows proper heading tho
Temp is always way low
Like 20 below zero low
Lol

 

How did the install work out?

I recently grabbed the light up vanity mirror/visors and Console from a 1990 Wagoneer. The visors are mechanical match, just need to tap into the pink wire that runs to reading lights to power them. Not sure about the Overhead Console though. I did grab the harness leading from console down to connectors on passenger side kick panel. But when I looked under my actual kick panel, there is only 1 connector that matches, and wiring + wire colors are different. Not sure if its for console or not. Looked online at 1993 sport & did not see Overhead console listed as option offered at time.

 

I have it done it yet. The material I purchased to use as a headliner isnt going to work so the project is on a temporary hold until i decide what to use. I'll take pics and what not when I get to the install. I havent even looked at my kick panel to see if the connections are there. Just kind of assumed they would be.

 

Your original post did not mention if you got the mounting bracket or not if not you will need it as well.

 

I grabbed those. Luckily those and the wire harness were still up there when I grabbed it. Moving this weekend so I hope next weekend is nice so I can get the headliner, new over console and new sound bar all up mounted. I'll be sure to post pics and what not when I do the job.
