Negative. Chrysler '97+ XJ and TJ radios are totally different mounting and hookups than the '96 & prior XJ's single DIN units.

You should be able to find TONS of pre-'97 XJs at the local JY. There's a massive one near you: http://www.standardautowreckers.com/

Default Rear wiper motor replacement
I bought my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport with a completely dead rear wiper. I'm thinking I need to replace the motor. Does anyone have any advice or direction they'd like to share? Thanks!

Pull it out and clean it. If it is all carboned up that could get it working again.

Do not spray cleaner into the drive shaft on the pintal. I have lubed that part with penetrating oil however with good results.

Just gonna swap it. Probably stock one anyways. New motor, new everything. An extra new thing won't kill me anymore than this whole thing already has.

not to sound dumb....how does one test the motor? I turn the switch on and nothing happens. I can hear a faint noise like it's trying to work, but the wiper does nothing.

I've seen the commercial and the work boot. I don't see the point on a jeep unless you mud alot. Even the roof doesn't really need it.
