I have checked the entire length and width of the overhead console and on the console only one breach (of the headliner material that covers 2/3 of the overhead consoles exterior) and it is centered middle windshield (upper). It is simply a hole. Not trimmed in a bezel just a hole. It feels like a Philips head med?
Nothing on the dash that i can identify as being a receiver.

If you have power windows, you have power locks. Every ZJ with power windows also had power locks. The only difference is the shape of the remotes. The '93-'95 had a trapazoid-shaped keyfob with a single red LED light, operated on Infrared (IR) frequencies, only had Unlock and Lock buttons, and the receiving "dome" was located in the overhead console near the front interior lights, or in the front interior light module in the headliner if you didn't get the overhead console.
The '96-'98 had the square-shaped keyfob with three buttons: the unlock button, the lock button, and a red panic button, and was Radio Frequency (RF)-based. The module for it is probably the same module as the power door locks, and unfortunately, I don't know where that is.
Regardless, though, your Jeep DID have keyless entry, as ALL '95-'98 ZJ's came STANDARD with it... you just need to purchase the remote, but I think it has to be programmed by a dealer or a locksmith.
Good luck!

Whilst we are on the subject of key jobs. I have read conflicting write ups, here and on other sites regarding ones ability to program a Wj fob. Some articles and posts come with instructions on how to do it and testimonials from people who succeeded. Others say dealer only. I chose to believe that I could do it and bought a fob off the net and followed each instruction that I could find. I was not successful. So regardless of what you read , WJ
Fobs can only be programmed to your vehicle by a dealer. Mine wanted a hundred bucks with a 2 month wait. The fob seller confirmed that before I purchased it , but I believed otherwise .
