Could anyone with a 96 or older pull the switches from the inside of the front driver door jamb and tell me what color wires are attached to it?

Yeah, the one on the inside of the door jamb that controls the buzzer if you have the door open with the key in the ignition and turns the dome light on if the doors are open. If you take it out, be very careful not to pull it out more than like an inch.
Almost 100% sure it's yellow yellow black but I need to be sure before I cut into it.

I can look when I get home. Mine have plenty slack in the wiring.
If you're trying to bypass them all you have to do is unplug it.

Hi!
I've got a rust hole on my roof right next to the roof rack on the passenger side. My guess is that the whole section around that bolt hole and rust hole need to be replaced. Was going to have a friend patch it with sheet metal, but would it be better to try and get a chunk of roof from a donor XJ, due to the raised section of metal for the roof rack? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
It's a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4, 172k. Local junkyard said they can cut me a chunk of metal out of one of their cherokees, they would just charge me $50. Just want a second opinion or other ideas/choices. Attached is a photo of the damage.

Dome light override. The headlight switch that's supposed to turn on my domelight doesn't work. I already have a switch, heatshrink, soldering iron, and wire around... so I'm just going to wire this switch into the wires from the door plugs so I have dome lights. I would wire into the wires from the headlight switch but there's no slack at all... Plus, I'm going to put the switch on the center console somewhere so my passenger can get to it as well. It's kind of ghetto but not having a dome light sucks really bad. (Don't have a buzzer either, so doing it this way won't turn on my door buzzer.)

So I ordered an SYE, and went ahead and got the 31 tooth Speedo gear while I was doing it... however it didn't work when I just put it in in place of the other.. is there something I'm supposed to do for the installation aside from just throwing it in there?

The mech needs to be clocked in the tcase correctly. Easiest, safest way, unhook dshaft, have someone inside giving gas in 1st/drive. Turn connector till speedo works.

Do this:
Make sure breaks are adjusted properly.
Make sure there is no air in the lines.
If it still does not hold pressure and it barely did before I'd assume the master cylinder is bad.
I recently had this issue with mine and after replacing everything re bleeding and adjusting. I ended up swapping the master and it works way better than before. Much firmer pedal.

I would pump then bleed pump til pressure then bleed and it has brakes n all just the peddle almost hits floor.
