So I agree that the sensors need to be MOPAR parts, but those are getting harder to find.
1. Is there an aftermarket manufacturer who is considered acceptable?
2 Where can you still order MOPAR parts for these. Seeing OUT OF STOCK a lot.

Thanks, Sean

I like Standard Motor Products if I can't find a Mopar electrical switch or sensor. I've used WVE (door switch, turn signal switch) in a pinch and so far so good.

moparpartsgiant.com is where I find Mopar stuff. Electrical parts for XJ are getting harder to find though, I've started a stockpile of them when I find them.

I think I've been a member for a while. I never post. But my current xj is driving me crazy. So I had to come here for help a couple of times. Good to see you here too.

I seriously doubt I could find something that you can't but I am pretty good at finding parts so...
Anything specific you are looking for and for what year?

I usually find that RockAuto has a decent selection of Mopar bits for my '98. I've just had a new coil and TPS from there, both Mopar.

One thing I found interesting though is that new Mopar sensors seem to be made in China, and don't look the same as the originals. They seem to work fine, but I just hope they prove to be as good as the original quality.

I would have to go look at my "stock" of sensors I have been sourcing over the years but I want to say the ones I have are made in Mexico.

Yeah, my older Mopar stuff was usually Mexico too. All the China-made stuff I've had has had a much more recent date of manufacture (i.e. in the last year or so).
