Another project for my 1990 Wrangler YJ
Well I've got my 4wd Posi-Lok installed and seems to work decent but
will not know more for awhile since I've got other projects to go
through before going onto some good offroad trips. One thing I've
noticed while working on my jeep in the engine compartment is that when
I touch certain wires my buzzer inside the jeep goes off and its
corresponding with the seat belt light.... and sometimes I can even
turn my stereo system on...
I know that the wiring is probably hosed because there are a lot of cut
wires that I have no clue where they would have gone or what they are
for on the firewall and I'm looking for some suggestions. If I decide
to replace the wiring harness (which seems to be a good idea), other
than being a pain in the butt is it something a Newbie can do? Are
there complete kits out there that I could purchase with great
instructions to follow on where this wire goes and all that good stuff
specifically made for my Jeep? I've got the 4.2l 258 Engine and
looking for some ideas. Hopefully not breaking to many pennies out of
my piggy bank but have seen they can be spendy...
Thanks again to all in advance.

Clean and grease all your engine compartment grounds and battery cables.
Remember that cables have 2 ends.

Re: Another project for my 1990 Wrangler YJ
So your saying when I change the wires make sure the grounds are nice
and clean and connected good. I understand the concept of having 2
ends to the cables and appreciate the reminder. I guess after looking
at it more last night after the post I'm sure that I will install a new
wiring harness because the one in place is messy with so many cut wires
on it and I think that might be where my problem is. Instead of
dealing with each cut wire a new harness seems easier but if anyone has
experience with them and an idea on a not overly expensive solution I
would appreciate it.
Thanks again.

I'd be looking around for a wrecked Jeep at a 'U pull em' type junk
yard. The entire harness comes out in one piece.
