Broke Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Got another batch of orphaned wires to identify. First up, a simple one. Passenger kick panel ground wire; http://imgur.com/a/Ex9MJ Don't know what this connects to but it was clearly lopped off of something. Next, two under the hood on the passenger side; Red: http://imgur.com/a/5tB2E Orange: http://imgur.com/a/AxMkE The orange one seems to be coming out of that harness with the little bit of orange visible. And if anyone could tell me where to hook these two up, that'd be great; http://imgur.com/a/Uz6k2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The kick panel is the radio antenna And I think the plug the power takes to the dome light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Are you talking about the long cable going across the first image? Because that's not what I asked about. Neither is the plug. I'm talking about the four inches of ground wire hanging off the bolt in the dead center of the shot. Something isn't grounded and I need to know what.

Green Mesa XJ Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Didn't see that wire at first on my phone. Don't see that wire and bolt on my old 85 XJ. On my 90 s XJ I can't check that spot easily. With that bolt it looks kind of OEM but I don't remember off hand there being a factory ground there and I've been through several dash harnesses finding the right one for my old XJ. If there's no corresponding ground on the dash harness then it is a previous owners addition I almost wonder the way it's burned out if it wasn't attached to the blower motor or something .

Broke Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 That helps, it does seem to just be there and it doesn't look like anythings hanging down under the dash without a ground. I really do need to get the compressor wiring figured out though, the trucks been immobile for several months but I'll be finishing it soon and I'm going to need that AC when I use it move to a new place in a month or two.
