MuchRespect Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Hi guys, been doing Cruiser54's Renix steps and I've found a couple of disconnected harness connector plugs. Can't find their female counterparts and I was hoping someone could tell me what components they belong to. First one is a blue plug that's part of a large harness cluster in the left side of my engine bay. Pictured below along with its junction in the loom covering. The second is a red plug that is visible through the front grille just in front of the lowest part of the radiator. Picture below: Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more info or photos.

Pete M Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 not sure what those particular ones are for, but you'll find extra connectors all over the truck. Jeep tried to reduce the number of different harnesses they were making and so you'll have plugs for things that just don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The one in front of rad. possibly for ambient temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedManche Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm in the same boat with both of those connectors! The blue one has a extra long connection that looks like it should stretch to the other side of the engine bay. Any insights on what this is? I do realize it may not go to anything but wanted to check in and be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 The blue connector is for the underhood light. For pre 1990 this connector is black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Did the factory fog light harness have connectors at the lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lights have the male connector though. (and those aren't Weatherpack connectors in his pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaterComanche86 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Gonna add to this thread if I may. I was looking for the underhood light but didn’t see the same connector in my 86. So here’s a few more “mystery” connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The one next to the clutch master is a second plug to the washer bottle. It's a hold over from XJs. It would power a pump to the rear window washer. The single red wire above the blower would power a under hood light, if you have/had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for the info, I have a 96 xj underhood light that I may try and rig up to the old connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
