90BlackMJ Posted Friday at 01:32 AM Posted Friday at 01:32 AM Hey everyone, it’s been a long time since I’ve been on and it’s been even longer since I took my Comanche down to bare bones to restore it. I am finally in the process of reassembly and I can’t remember or find the piece that went to the right of the steering column and left of the cigarette lighter. I’m pretty sure it was a blank bezel. The XJ would have the rear windshield wiper button there. Thanks!
89 MJ Posted Friday at 03:08 AM Posted Friday at 03:08 AM On my truck, it was a part of the dash bezel if it’s the piece I think it is.
The86manche Posted Friday at 01:38 PM Posted Friday at 01:38 PM It would either be a switch plate for fog lights/transmission switch(if auto) or a blank plate.
ghetdjc320 Posted Friday at 06:28 PM Posted Friday at 06:28 PM If It's the blank, those were normally just a thin plastic bezel that was attached to the larger gauge cluster bezel. You can also get 3d printed aftermarket ones that will just have a couple of carling style rocker switch holes. Or you can grab the switch holder from any 96- XJ or MJ that had the actual switch holder there. Somewhere, I have buckets of them lol.
Gjeep Posted Friday at 07:17 PM Posted Friday at 07:17 PM Jeep did it a couple different ways over the years. As mentioned, a blank cover attached to the dashboard overlay and also, but less common a full pod that was screwed in (similar to the at left fog/ cargo light pod) but with an adhesive blank cover (this was more commonly found on Renix era plain Jane XJs).
Eagle_SX4 Posted yesterday at 12:57 AM Posted yesterday at 12:57 AM These are what you are looking for. One bolts to the dash which houses the switches if so equiped. The other is fused the the cluster trim bezel and is a block off plate.
90BlackMJ Posted yesterday at 04:55 PM Author Posted yesterday at 04:55 PM Yep it was that thin plastic plate, I found it. Thanks guys!
TheNerfsmith Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Is there a technical document relating to the measurements of the plate that someone has done? I need to make a custom plate and it would save time, otherwise I’ll measure the plate I have.
