yj rewiring

What makes you think you need a re-wire? Just Asking? My old YJ did the same exact thing and all I had to do was replace the cluster. They are known for corroding inside the printed circuit on the back.

Edit: Just read it again and deciphered the hacked wiring part. Still the above and you should be able to find where they once went and maybe not have to spend more than you need.

Seriously doubt you will find too many that want to get involved with it if it's a basket case.

Here's a copy of the FSM wiring diagram. Your gonna have to get your hands dirty a bit.

First thing, I would do is find any and all wires the the PO had for random lights, dixie horn or other non essential stuff and eliminate them. You prob wont have much to fix after the BS is removed and you may only have to replace a few pig tails once you get to a real problem. I know Fitzgeralds has a few YJ's just chilling in the yard there, cut what you need and correctly splice in. If I had some free time I'd swing down to look it over but I'm booked solid with work and family till Mid July.

You can use the crimp connectors but the best way is to solder the connection but with both always use heat shrink to protect the wires.

Here's a list of basic wiring tools:

Good pair of Crimpers
Wire cutters ( the ones on the crimpers usually suck)
Voltmeter and/or Test light
Heat shrink tubing
Quick connectors

I also forgot in the previous post, dont cut what you dont know and when you do know, re-check. Wiring is easy when you break it down and look at it piece by piece.

Good Luck

These are excellent crimpers and the cutter is awesome too.

For stripping wires get a pair of these:

You will spend a few bucks but will have them forever.

X2 on Keith's post. I used to have a pair till someone decided I didn't need them as bad as they did.

I have a dash cluster and a dash wiring harness from a '95, 6 cly. It is from wrecked Jeep I disassembled. PM me if you need parts or want to buy the harness and guages.

Also, if you need a hand, I live outside of Lewes. Shoot me a PM.
