You'll really appreciate the difference the first time you have to use
the starter to motor youself into some place you can work when the
engine floods or just plain quits.

Re: Starter interlock question
 

Hey JD -

Had a 96 that wasn't connected, now have a 98 Cherokee w/ it connected.
Crawled underneath the dash today... lo and behold... taped next to the
connector, was a spare connector half w/ a wire running between the 2
points...

Just unhooked the one half, threw in this half. I was just going to wire it
like you - but it looks like DC had already thought of it. Funny that the
connector was taped next to it - not complaing though :) So I guess that's
DC's official fix :))
