Wish I Would Have Labeled Better ! Need Help. Electrical. 87 To 97 Conversion.

[RockinMJ]

This is a 97 jeep cherokee wiring harness.

 

 

 

First pic is the three wires one goes to the top of the altanator ( wire with plastic protection loom on it) are the other 2 just grounds?

 

Next pic is right under the steering wheel? Can't find where it plugs in. One with white plug.

 

Last one is the round plug in that's near the transmission transfer case harness.

OK - In reverse order:

 

The round barrel plug can be one of three things (its difficult to see as picture is blurred): an O2 sensor, the plug for the rear of the transmission; or the second plug for the transfer case (242J).

 

Second picture: Plug by the electronic solenoid on the ignition lock cable. Cable runs from ignition to floor shifter. In your picture if you look directly up from the plug you can see a small black cable with vividly bright white numbers on it. That is the interlock cable - follow it back till you find the solenoid.

 

First picture: Yes, but we replaced all out power and ground leads in the harness, so mine do not look like that. They should attach on the studs for the coil with nuts. You can see the two nuts in question at the top of the picture.

NOTE: in the second picture (white plug) I do not see the plug on that harness for the Sentry key system (the "smart" keys with the fat plastic head on them) because Cryco used several different color plugs for that security module, it could be that plug as well. The interlock solenoid plug has two wires, the security module plug has six.

 

If you do not have the Sentry key system you will not use that plug (but it can be used for an overhead console at a later date!)
