do you have an ABS pump under the hood? (If so, you have abs. Duh!)
What rear axle do you have? (8.25 would be Non ABS, my girlfriends 96 has the 8.25 and is non abs)

Jeeps are like that... they have wiring and such for stuff the Jeep may not be equipped with. Makes it easier than making separate fuse boxes and dashes, etc for vehicles not equipped with certain options.
