Hello everyone,
I have no luck posting this in Jeep forums, so I thought I’d give this a go.
I am in the process of restoring a 1988 Jeep Comanche from the ground up. We are using the wiring harness from a 1993 Jeep Cherokee XJ. The re wiring has been going well with all the modification we are making to the truck, until now. One of the mods we are doing is adding a double din stereo, so we can use Android Auto as well as backup cameras. To do this we had to customize the dash as it was designed for single din only. This meant modifying the duct work to make room for the unit, it also required relocating the climate control lower in the dash. This created a problem as the HVAC system did not allow for enough space for the original climate control panel. The solution was to use a control panel from a 1999 Cherokee XJ. That has lead to the current problem with wiring. The 99 panel is different in many ways, but I have been able to get the vacuum controls to work correctly as well as the fan and temp controls. After connecting all the wires that the 99 has to the correlated 93 wires I am left with 3 wires that from the 93 and no power to the control panel other than illumination. So, I need to figure out a way to get power to the 99 panel.
On the 93 harness for the A/C-Heater control there is the vacuum connection and 2 electrical plugs. The 99 only has a vacuum and 1 electrical plug. After some trial and error this is what I came up with for connecting them.
1993 XJ harness 1999 XJ A/C-Heater control
Fan connections 7 pin connector
HI DG wire pin 2 BK/TN wire
M2 LB wire pin 3 LB wire
M1 TN wire pin 4 LG wire
LO YL/BR wire pin 5 TN wire
Ground BLK wire pin 1 BK/VT wire
A/C switch sense LG/WT wire pin 6 LG wire
Lamps OR wire pin 7 OR wire
The 3 wires without a home from the 93 harness are highlighted in the diagram:
Pin E YL/BR wire – this wire is in the same circuit as the wire I connected to pin 5.
Pin D BK/TN – 12V power
Pin B BK/TN – 12V power
