Hi, do I disconnect the fan wire connector, do I just push in above the black wire- I can't see properly in mine, thanks .

@swatscorner 5 күн бұрын
I really can’t remember. Looking back at the video, it looks like there was probably a small clip in the back of the connector.

How is the driver seat? Does it sit too high or is it manageable?
@swatscorner
@swatscorner 12 күн бұрын
It sits higher. For me, not too high. But if I were taller, it likely would be. It’s not so much the seat is higher than the front part of the seat. It’s higher. The part where your rear sits is probably not higher.

Also, I don’t have fogs installed, would it make sense for me to do the harness upgrade then install new fog lights since the new harness has wiring for fog lights? I’ll have to get fog lights AND the switch panel from a picknpull, but would that be my best order of operations?
@swatscorner
@swatscorner Ай бұрын
Install the new oem fog light harness and then install the cable upgrade.
@DjRapnytech
@DjRapnytech Ай бұрын
Do you need to keep the old harness/plug old harness into new harness? Why not just out with the old, in with the new?
@swatscorner
@swatscorner Ай бұрын
The upgrade works with your existing harness. It’s not a replacement. You still need the old harness to connect to the switch and to the turn signals and marker lights etc. So you have to have both
@DjRapnytech

So what’s the cost vs main benefits of doing this? Great video
@swatscorner
@swatscorner Ай бұрын
I was hoping it would help with the headlights some (which it didn’t). But I feel like it’s starting and running better with it. If you have no real issue, there is no need to do it. As you can see on mine, everything’s just a little old and tired, so replacing 27 year old parts with 337k miles is worth doing for the most part.

Hey Swat! I am doing the same move on my 1996 jeep 2dr sport. I found wire harness from a similar year at the JY. I tested all the lights on my rig. I also installed the switch. I also have the relays. Now the turn signals, side markers and headlights work with the JY harness, but when I used a circuit tester on the fog light wires, no signal. I have not acquired the fog lights yet. also the Fog light switch doesn't illuminate, I did put led bulbs in there. Are there fuses that need to be placed in the PDM under the hood or the under the dash to complete addition?
@swatscorner
@swatscorner Ай бұрын
I think there’s a fuse in the panel under the drivers side dash. Check that out and report back!

Just in case James Benedict does not respond to the paragraph I wrote on "1988-1996 Jeep Cherokee Radio Repair", I would like your input on fixing some of these radios I`ve got stacked up halfway to the ceiling. Repairs from inoperative tape players, left or right channel loss to low volume. You can just reply to my comment here.
@swatscorner
@swatscorner 2 ай бұрын
I had never seen his video, so just checked it out! Man, that’s way above my level. I think what you’re doing with the radios is great. You really need to get in touch with Jeremey - the guy who sold the kit in my video. He’s an expert on these radios, but I understand he had “retired” or severely cut back due to health concerns. Maybe you could pick up the slack. If so, keep me posted! I’ve got 3 or 4 radios for the 96 (sold one of my two 1996s, but had extra radios just in case and for parts and so as not to molest the original radio with the Bluetooth set up). All the best!!

Great video. I struggled with the white molex connector for a while, watched 4 other videos to find a better way. Use channel-locks or vise grips to apply gentle pressure to the center of the molex connector. Too much pressure can deform the plastic. Make sure not to press on the female side of the connector. If you are in the right spot gentle pressure will remove the connector. I was at this for almost an hour then once I found this method it was out really simply.
