Also, I'm assuming Pin A Pink, is on top, and Pin B LT BLUE/BLK is on the bottom, but I'm not going to try the other way around, or anything else until tomorrow.

The pink wire was the one not connected. I added it and nothing changed. I quickly checked the bulbs and they are fine. What exactly are the round relay things?

Just tested the HAZ/STOP fuse, it's fine. The brake light switch has only 1 of 2 prongs connected. There are all kinds of wire connections dangling around there. If let's say one of them need to be connected to the switch in order for it to work, then could that also be what's keeping the hazards from wanting to work?

The wipers and blower motor work.

Not sure. The thing that made the previous owner sell it was that it hit a deer. This messed with some of the wiring for the lights. I thought he mentioned something about him or some local shop trying to fix some of the wiring, specifically the turn signals, but maybe the missing fuse was all they were missing? I think I have a voltmeter somewhere, I'll go check it.

Also, my radio (which is some cheap aftermarket) never has worked, and I never thought to check it's fuse. Its fuse is completely melted on one side, it's the correct amp, 15, but that would explain why my radio has never worked. On the other hand, could the radio fuse melting have affected any of the other fuses maybe?

So the turn signals make sense, but shouldn't the brake lights and hazards work?

Update: The TURN B/U fuse was missing, but the HAZ/STOP was completely fine.

No, I forgot to mention those. They don't come on at all.

I haven't actually looked at it. All I know is that the headlights show up on the dash and turn on, but the blinkers and hazards don't work for the dash nor the actual lights.

I have a quick question. The wiring harness for the dash/lights and blinkers, is it the same for Cherokees and Comanches? For example, if I were to cut out the harness from a 95 XJ, would everything work on an 89 MJ? The MJ I bought had been hit by a deer, and the wiring harness was the biggest issue. I tried patching up as much as I could, but the only lights that work are the actual headlights. The blinkers and hazards do not work. I am hoping to just swap harnesses over, and hope the lights work.

I bought a radiator for a 95 Cherokee a while back, and I'm wondering if it would work for an 89 MJ. The only reason I'm doubtful is because the one I ordered from Rock Auto for the XJ is different from the MJ in terms of part numbers.

Would a 97+ year cherokee's 4x4 parts work for my MJ or are they different for some reason? I saw an ad on craigslist but want to investigate more before I consider buying it.(It's a 98 btw)

Ok, I'll be sure to get all that I need when I get the chance. I'm not quite sure if I want the 97+ fender flares, but I don't think the older ones would look right either so I'll just have to look into that some more.

Just to be clear, I'm wanting to know, if I was to change out the older front "clip" assembly with a newer one from a 97+ XJ, I know I would also need new fenders, but do I need newer doors or anything else in order to complete it? I won't be doing it anytime soon, but I am trying to figure it out ahead of time and so far just looking at pictures isn't helping too much. -Thanks

I already used it in the dash. We used an rpm reader to see what it was idling at. While it was running I put the needle on it at the shown rpm. Then, I held it at 3,500, and the reader showed something like 1,700. Basically, I'm just going to "scrap" this one and keep looking for another. If I see a renix, I'll definitely be getting one, and if I have too, I'll just return it. If it works, I'll just return the old one.

Yeah I'm just going to keep on tinkering with it, and probably try to take off and realign the needle the best I can. At this point, the worst outcome is that it breaks, or just can't be fixed. Best, it gets fixed. Either way, I'll get to learn something new about it. Also, I always liked the look of the Renix anyways so it's just another reason for me to want to look for another, but hopefully I can get this one to work.

I think my best bet is to take the needle off and put it back on as accurately as possible, because like you said, it's off by 6,000 rpm so what is there to lose?

I took the tachometer off and this is all I see on the back of it.

It's uninstalled now, and sorry for any confusion, I meant new as in a new cluster to put in my Mj. I'll dissect it tomorrow.

I'm going to wait til tomorrow, but when I do it, I'll update.

ok, thanks

And just to clarify, that is after taking apart the two main parts of the whole cluster?

Ok. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, somehow of all things I forgot to mention, it was the year. It was an 86. V6 wasn't a typo of 86, it has a 2.8L V6.
