Default Unlabeled wires

2001 Cherokee. Completing an engine swap and when I pulled old engine I labeled all of the wires except two on the passenger side and for the life of me I can’t remember where they go. My photos don’t show enough on that side of the engine either. Please help.


Two black and two black with white strip bundled into two terminals

One black and one black with white stripe.

The one nearest the firewall appears to be the ground connection that is normally held to the block by the bolt/stud that holds the oil dipstick tube in place. It is a bit hard to see the location because it hides behind and under the top of the dipstick. It looks like the other two ring connectors might go to the same place as well. Though I'm not sure. I have a 96, and my grounds might not be exactly the same, so I'll let someone with a newer XJ chime in.

The single looks like the DLC ground. The other two look like the TCM and PCM grounds. Look for studs in the locations pictured. Credit to CCken for the pics.
