Go to a dealership. They are always chucking boxes of every size imaginable.

Chrysler doesn’t show it in their catalogues but my best guess is it looks like a kit that hard wires the CPS to the ECU. All Chrysler has it labeled as is “KIT” and it was only for the ‘87/88 model years.

You could do it like that up and through the A-pillar and back to the middle of the cab roof

Pete is right. I had an idea to make the cargo light better but saw no way to stick a piece of metal in the housing to help it reflect. Plus it gets hot after some time of use. But I like it and am a sucker for factory parts.

It’s very well possible that there could be a few more lingering. I know there’s another part number that does the same job as that kit so I wonder why Chrysler has two kits that do the same thing. 4443965 was the other kit and it’s priced at $66 with brig still around at other dealers. I think about 17 of those exist if I’m remembering correctly.

It is hot wire switched with a ground wire going from the switch but that is only for the light on the switch itself. Behind the dash bezel should be 3(or 4) plugs where the fog light switch and other switches go, there should be a three prong switch like the fog light plug except it has pink wires. Pink plugs into a prong on the lens itself that sticks out and the ground is the two screws that attach and hold the light on to the roof. Since you have a ‘91 it very well may not be there. If you get a factory light, make sure you test it’s grounds first by using a 12v battery to make sure it works. It’s a lot easier to diagnose why it may not be working in the end if all the contacts are cleaned that way it can be narrowed down to the screws or the contact of the roof and screws.

Up until ‘90 there is a plug that is behind the drivers side B-pillar. It should be just a single pink wire(as long as no one has touched it). Shouldn’t have to add anything other than the switch and three holes. I just did this and it is worth it if you find a cargo light.

That one was the one on eBay right? And what I mean is there is one dealer in the US that has that part left and Chrysler asks $156 which is incredibly laughable that they were asking for that for just two model years that the part is for when there is a cheaper kit from Chrysler.

Hahahahahahahha. For $156 from Chrysler, I am not buying the last one in existence!

Graham cracker. I like it! It really fits with the truck.

Alright. Here’s a quick how to repaint your emblems back to how they left the factory. If your nameplate looks like this from the 30 years it has been in service then it’s time for a fresh repaint. here's what I went and did with this. I took the nameplate and cleaned it. Then I used flat black and spray painted the whole nameplate like this: I found this easier to do instead of masking off each letter to achieve a perfect paint all around and inside the letters. I let it dry after applying the paint for about and hour or so in the hot sun(for you states who don’t know what the sun looks like, let it set longer). After the paint is good and dry, I took a scotchbrite pad and just scrubbed the paint off of the letters to achieve the look of this: Follow up with a good coat of clear or two and you got yourself a new looking nameplate. I did try this on a few other nameplates before attempting the Comanche nameplate to be sure I’d achieve good results.

Basically. it’s a whole assembly.

You’ll have to get a whole new cable assembly. The cover/guide is not sold separately. Never has been. 4897728AA is the last part number used on the XJ MJ platform for the speedo cable.

That looks very reminiscent of a late wagoner grill

Curious. Have you taken out the right head light and tested it to see if the high beam gets power to it? It’s possible that just the low beam works but the high could not be.

Nice! Welcome to the 21-slot club.

Lol. It’s worth it. I cleaned them up with vinegar. Then used primer(optional) with flat black.

I think I have always been a stickler for detail. I can't just leave well enough alone at all on Little Red. So I painted some screws! Now I'm not sure how detailed our trucks were when they left the factory but I can't help to feel that maybe the screws that held the door handles in place were black at one point. can't confirm that. So the screws got painted black to "blend" in more. It was at this point I realized the handle buckets are faded and no longer black like they used to be(thanks AZ sun). So I replaced 5 of the six screws (left one for an example)with ones I painted from new handle assemblies I got from AMC salvage to replace my worn out handles. I like the black screws. Hides the fact that the handles are held in by screws from afar. Here's the old ones for comparison: I also detailed the vents(I can get a picture later) back to factory silver. I noticed more trucks that have the chrome trim dash bezels also have the chrome/silver trim painted on the vents. I'm sure the AZ heat and sun obliterated the paint, but I found faint traces of the silver paint so score!

2.) There’s roughly about 696 Comanche VINs currently registered, maybe less. (Quick math was done based on how many posts were on just one page multiplied by the pages in the registry.) Probably 15% of them are or were in junk yards. That’s incredibly low number compared to the number produced. So there’s probably more out there that are tucked away or long gone from time. Who knows how many were totaled out before the existence of this site and where they all went. They are disappearing faster than the California condor and we could be looking at less Comanches each day due to people not knowing what they have.

Oh 4.0. Never mind. The 2.5 has one. I don't know about the 4.0

Did you put the starter shim back in?

Is even any skid plate made anymore for our trucks? Oh hell, a skid plate is a skid plate. Still nice to get a skid plate for the front if you are looking for front protection. kinda odd to advertise it as OEM but whatever. Glad to have payed less than what they were asking.

I wonder what Chryslers production number is on that.
