OK, theres this thing under the passenger seat, i dont think its factory, but i dont no much haha

This jeep was a government vehicle so my hinch is that this thing has to do with that...

its a box and it says 'strobe pwr supply'

it had a bunch of wires in it but every thing works without it. theres some places on the dash where holes havee been cut out for swithces but theyve been removed.

theres also 4 ground wires sticking out from the center dash...

For the overhead lights, like on cop cars is my guess. Whelen is a manufacturer for this type of equipment.

 

No idea, but what you should do is rip out all that Cat5 Cable and save it for a rainy day.

 

see if there is any holes drilled in your tail or sidemarker lights where strobes might have been.

 

i'd do a google search for that model whelen and see what its worth....might get some cash for it on Ebay.

Found one

My buddy works for a construction company and has a similar but smaller box it makes his headlights and taillights strobe

 

I believe thats the system they use in cop cars to operate the overheads, or the oem lights on the undercover cars.

 

theres some holes drilled in the top:




Should i try to get something for it off ebay? cant see any use for it...

 

it is a power supply, and the cables for strobe lights. they may have been hideaways, or another external light. its only a 60 watt supply, so its worth about $40 tops to the right person.

 

how could i get it to work? it seems to be wired to the taillights...

and what do yall think thouse wires coming out of the dash are for?

 

Dash wires were probably from added radios or something - note the mounting holes in the lower dash, above where the centre console would be?

Although, typically, PD and gov't-destined models had a column shift (it's a simple conversion - just use an MJ column instead of an XJ) and no centre console. Also, the carpet was replaced with rubber mat, and the VECI had "X1" instead of "XJ" on it.

$40 is even a high estimate - most people who would want something like that would want a new one, especially since so many capabilities have been added.

If you just want to cut loose of the thing, I'd take it off your hands for my own project. I doubt you'd get much for it if you tried to sell it - it's still being made, but it looks to be close to EOL.

I used to wire up security and emergency vehicles (once upon a time...) so I can still get manuals and suchlike if/when I need them...
