This is a solid light blue and it is coming from the head unit. Are you are this isn't the remote wire?

 

Yea every aftermarket stereo (100s) that I have installed the amp wire is blue or blue with white.
Dimmer is always a orange wire

Thx guys much 411......see how it goes after work!

 

Found a wiring diagram online. The light blue one is for a telephone apparently. It said there is a dark blue with a white stripe for the remote and sure enough there is a dark blue white striped wire not hooked to anything. Thanks for the help.

Two quick questions... are these known issues? I've searched a bit and not come up with anything on either.

Just bought a new to me 96 2 door XJ.

Only a couple of small issues.. #1, the grille is warped and the headlight bezels are both cracked. Is the grill warping common? (also since I'm going to be buying new grille/bezels, did 96s ever have color matched grilles?

#2, apparently the liftgate shock mount broke at some point and somebody tried to weld it back in.... Common problem?

This is going to be a disaster to fix since I don't know anybody who can weld/any shop that would be able to fix it.

 

The hatch part is common. And holy hell that's ugly.
The grill.... Not so common. Maybe po parked too close to a bonfire.

 

Yeah ive never seen or heard of a warped grill

 

yeah tell me about it. They ****ing cracked the panel that goes over it too. They also welded it without anything covering the carpet... luckily they had a small rug in the cargo area for some reason. When I took the rug out the carpet underneath was perfect, but there are some TINY tiny burns... and the worst part is, like I said I have no contacts... don't know anyone who can weld (or at least anyone who can and has a welder) or know of any reputable shops... haha.

 

Is it holding? If so leave it. Lol
