More Electrical Issues

[jeephack]

After much investigation and testing on my electrical problems, I have come

to the unhappy conclusion that my fuse block is not realistically salvageable.

I have one in my parts Cherokee that is nearly pristine. My question is...

I know there is no easy way to perform this transplant, but what is the least

painful way to accomplish this? I know some of you guys on here have done

this before. May I impose upon you for your experienced guidance?

All help greatly appreciated.

It's really not too complicated to swap in a XJ fuse panel/interior harness in place of the MJ's.

 

The only real problem you'll encounter is the whip to the rear, and with a little tracing and detective work, it will be solved ;)

 

Here's some reference topics for you to ponder -

And here's the one on the rear light that mfpdm put together -

What you'll want to check is if the engine bay side of the fuse block is still in good shape, if in dough, then the XJ's engine harness should be a direct replacement.

 

Oh, one question.........is the MJ and XJ still in the same era????? like '87 - '90 Renix era??

Thanks Wildman. Most helpful. And yes, the MJ is an '87, The XJ is a '90.
