I'm gonna go Postal....!
 

Hey group,
I recently acquired a 1981 DJ5L Postal Jeep (stop laughing!!) and the
wiring under the dash looks like hell. The number of splices and wire taps
under the dash is scary! Not surprisingly, I have electrical issues. Try
this on... Key off, turn on the heater blower motor switch and the turn
signal flasher starts clicking... the lights are not blinking but the
flasher clicks away. I might also add that the blower will not start running
till you turn the key on. I dunno....
So what I'm looking for is not "What's wrong with my Jeep?" but does anyone
have a schematic for a DJ series Jeep? I think mid to late 70's up to mid to
late 80's should get me by. I really appreciate any help you guys could give
me on this one.
Thanks,
Charles

Re: I'm gonna go Postal....!
 

The inexpensive Haynes manual has an excellent wiring diagram for the
CJ's. I have used it to wire several and a couple YJ's. (The CJ manual
has better 258 wiring than the YJ book)

You also can get replacement harness pieces from a couple different
companies if it is beyond hope or melted out.

if it isn't melted, I would start by replacing the ground strap from the
rear of the engine head to the firewall. A dead one can/will cause
symptoms like yours. There also is a ground from the block to the frame
that bypasses one of the engine mounts.
