Htchevyii Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I' not sure how many MJ's had power windows, but I'm sure that some of you have XJ's as well. I'm looking for a new master window switch for my 1989 XJ. The new ones are listed as 1991-1996, but look very similar to my 1989 one. Of course, every used one in eBay is listed as 1984-1996, are they in the know or ignorant? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Depends on which switch set up you’re after. That one there was the same from 84-96. Uses the same switches and plug for all those years. The difference is that Chrysler ditched the chrome and went black for the HO years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Something else to keep in mind, that one pictured is for a 4 door XJ, if you happen to have a 2 door XJ or MJ, it's not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfortier Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I wish someone made just the replacement bezel for manual windows/locks. Mine are looking suuuuper crusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Its a 4 dr. I was wondering if it actually wouldn't work or was just a different color or trim. Mine is chrome and the replacements that I see listed for 91+ are black. I guess I'll order one and see. Maybe I can even pop the new switches into the old housing?

Gjeep Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 There's more to it -- The Renix era driver side switch panel backside thin copper connector 'sheet' (that ties the switch pins together for era specific wiring capability) is slightly different Renix to HO years. You'll want to find proper year switch assemblies or find HO year switches and swap that Renix thin panel backside sheet over. it's fairly fragile so good luck. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about, though 4 door XJ assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 thanks, I was unable to find that information anywhere and most sellers on eBay seem to be unaware. I guess I'd better take a closer look at things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 I found a picture of the back of the Standard ds1231. It sure looks like it's the same?
