What gives?
Did I forget to connect something?
Both main harnesses driver side kick panel are connected.
Module driver side above throttle is connected.

What other connections electrical could I have forgotten that would prevent the engine from turning over?
Whats missing fuel or spark? Did you disconnect the battery before beginning this project?

I pulled the negative side only before I started since I was pulling the airbag and steering wheel.

Is there a hard reset for the fuel pump that I don't know about?
I'm not getting fuel.
Still need to go out and see if there any codes at all.
For now I have disconnected the positive side as well and see if my disconnecting the harness inside triggered something.

Reviving this old thread as it was helpful with getting the heater core replaced. I find myself with a single connector that I'm not sure where it goes when I'm done with the job. There's a small white connector around the steering column. The wires are blue/white and white/red. The airbag warning light is on. Everything else works including the horn. Any pointers on where this goes? It all seemed so obvious when I took things apart.

Vehicle is a 97 Cherokee Country 2wd auto with tilt steering.

I figured this out and thought I'd post and answer my own question. This is the small connector that attaches to the cable coming down from the ignition switch. Airbag light is still on. They appear to be unrelated. I'll start another thread specific to that issue if i can't find information in search.

I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee and my ring fell through the defrost vents and dropped into the heater box. Is there any information on how to get the dashboard out and the heater box without paying the car dealership $800.00. Thank you so much!

The following link contains a secondary link to PDF files for removing interior trim/dash pieces. http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_interior_trim.htm

Thank you! Do you happen to know if the Grand Cherokee inside/dashboard is laid out the same way as a Cherokee. I have just a Cherokee?
