- This video will get re-made. It was filmed very early in stages of learning everything with videoing. Also I was in a hurry to build this to test an engine for a customer. Anyways this harness will work on Jeep Cherokee 1991-1995 4.0L engines. I will be doing more years along the way.
Ty dex , doing these videos helps more than you know. Keeps me living at times ty
Super helpful, thanks for the video.
I'll be refer to this im sure.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope it helps out. I plan on trying to get a better video with better sound. This was one of the first videos I filmed and I the sound isn’t the best.
I did a 4.0 swap on my 2007 JK. I love the 4.0. Now I'm thinking about putting on in my 2000 ram 1500. The magnum is nice but I prefer the 4.0. And if it lacks power ill just build a stroker.
What transmission did you use in the jk?
@@dexjs I used the AW4. XJ gauge cluster too. I Took out all of the canbus. Only used the window and hvac controls from the JK. So was an obd1 4.0 jk with aw4. Bolted the JK transfer case to the AW4 but clocked it for more ground clearance.
Your a Badass mechanic
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO KEEP A Jeep in 1st when wheeling without it trying to automaticallyshift into 2nd...preferably XJ 4.0 4x4 model.
Yea, that is my next project. I would love to see a Dex jeeps video of this mod. (For 98 xj with aw4)
It should be really simple. Just interrupt the signal wire going to to shift solenoid with a switch.
But a how to video would be fun!
I promise it’s high priority on my list. Maybe soon. Thanks.
There's a single wire, I'm not sure which wire it is, but if it either has constant power or no power, it stays in first. That probably wasn't very helpful. I'm sorry.
Get a ZJ 😂
Get one with a manual 😂, nah but jokes aside it is a single wire in the transmission harness that controls the 1-2 shift solenoid
Patiently waiting for junk yard tour🤞🤞
Awesome video! I’m having a no spark issue on my 95 yj 2.5. I have power to the coil but no signal for the coil to fire. I’m lost at this point! I’ve put a new crank sensor, coil, distributor, ignition switch and volt tested everything I know to test and still can’t figure it out
please please please do one or the 97-01 and you will make many men happy
What exactly. The 00-01 maybe different.
I’m in the midst of doing this to my xj woods toy. I’ve replaced distributor, coil and crankshaft sensor and still no spark. Bypassed the asd
I have a 99 cherokee 4.0 and the insulation on the wires is dry rotting and falling off so I need to replace the entire harness and keep it stock. Would love to see a video on how to replace the entire harness and troubleshooting tips on reinstalling it.
If it’s a 99XJ it’s very simple to do. They’re smaller than like a WJ or zj
Id like to by the stand alone wires for my 1994 jeep grand cherokee I put a 5speed in it and cut alot out of the jeep but still have problems if you could set it up my power back to my pump an a switch an an push button start wood be awesome
You should make a video on how to shift the aw4 all the way 1-4 on a standalone. I saw your video on how you get first through third but getting a aw4 to completely stabd alone would help alot. Im converting my peugeot to a aw4 and it looks like im just gona have to buy a raddesigns shifter to make it happen
Thumbs up for the camera falling!
would love to see a vid on what to look for whenever you buy a cherokee i remember getting my first cherokee an wishing i knew what to look for
You know I sure could do that. Be easy video. I’ll write it dow.
You showed us a online place to lookup wiring diag thought I saved it but can't find it could you let us know again
Getting ready to do this to a 95 harness
Where can I get a copy of that wiring diagram
Hey Dex, awesome video, helped me get through stripping a 92 harness for a stroker, but one question. On pin 8 I have a thicker brown wire but all of the pin out diagrams I’ve found show that it’s empty. Any ideas?
I'd like see one out of 96
What exactly was keeping the engine from starting
Thanks again
Definitely want a video of the 98-99 cherokee
I may do it next. Very simliar but tricky on them.
I second this... putting a 4.0 out of a 2000 in a tube chasis buggy and want to do a stand alone but kind of skidish about it lol
How much do you sell the harnesses for? I have an 88 Sahara 4.2 but it’s getting a donor 4.0 from a TJ. Everything is available with the motor. My harness burned up from the fusible link to the starter relay failing and almost lost the wrangler.
Please do a video on how to change my oil in my 98 grand cherokee
Step one; subscribe
dex i need help with my 1995 xj the windows dont work but i hear the motors buzzing an they get hot !!!
Rusty jeep?
@@dexjs very rusty but I fixed all that I can
Im doing a 96... but I got a harness from 99.. any help appreciated?...thx bro
Thanks
Nice
That relay by fuse box you said pretty sure somthin do with 02 , Isnt it the ballast resistor relay? ty for vid
Dex I'm trying to convert the alternator to a gm 1 wire hook up(LS Swap). What do I use for the excite wire? 1991 jeep.
Soooooo.... What wires going into the firewall of a 96xj would you need to match coming out of the firewall on an 89yj? Asking because I'm not having a good time. Was trying to wire it up to have the dash still operate, but chiltons doesn't match what I'm seeing IRL.
Would you be interested in cutting a 99 harness down for a guy? I did a 4.0 head swap on my buddy’s 4.2 cj7. And it runs great but the wiring drives me crazy.
Would this work on a 89 by chance
Thanks for the video! Currently running a terminator x kit on my YJ 4.0 in my buddy. Been considering switch back to a factory ECU. If I get stuff from say an XJ as long as it’s obd1 is should run my 92 YJ motor correct?
Im interested in the obd2 standalone with the jtech im going to be running 91HO engine with a AX15 i need tuning abilities for turbocharger
I need some information on transmission wiring i put 89 trans in 93 wont shift right wont control it my bad off road only
Off top of your head what color is the starter solinoid wire
Dex I need help asap I have a 91.cherokee that I've been struggling with for a year and I just got it running and my friend hooked something up backwards and fried Mt computer, I have a replacement computer from a 97 cherokee, and harness, but I don't want to have to go through and rewire the entire thing again. What is the minimum I need to drive my jeep with the 97 computer and can I splice into existing connections from the old harness, please help
1. is that downpipe 02 sensor necessary to start?
2. have you found the 96 XJ to be pretty similar to the 1996 ZJ?
I appreciate that you have all the colors remembered in your head, but could you clarify it clearly for us? I’m going to watch it 5 or 6 more times and see if I can figure out what you did. Anyways Thanks for the video, but I do hope you go back and provide the information a little clearer. I would also like to see an odb2 standalone harness video.
Yes after I watched it I realized how unclear I didn’t explain. I was just doing this in a rush for a customers engine. Need a board to draw on but I haven’t finished my room up.
I am turbo changing a 4.0 what do you think about piston ring gap
Hello, do you have a power box, a Jeep Cherokee Grand 2000 engine with a computer?
Why do I feel like grabbing an a frame and changing that stroby light bulb 💡
I got one question for ya dex, why don’t you run one ton swapped xjs to beat on
Everythings more fun on 31s
Plus when ones beat just grab another and its ready to rock out of the box
He's got so many rigs he would spend a fortune and tons of time to set up each one
I’ve built some before. They suck. No fun. Heavy. Huge. I always use the example of pushing a wheelbarrow up a hill empty VS loaded.
@@dexjs understandable. Do you plan on coming and riding rush offroad in rush ky any time soon
Dex are there any online books or manuals that you use for jeeps? Like mechanic resources online that you can recommend from your own usage? Or even paper books/manuals.
I’ve used all data DIY. Different ways to buy it but lots of great information. Autozone used to sell it.
Would u be willing to sell a harness
Hello, do you have a JEEP Cherokee Grand 2000 engine with a computer
You sell them?
Not sure. Thought about it.
What about a 2001 grand Cherokee wiring? Anyone done one?
When do u plan to remake this video I’m building a buggy and need more info
Honestly probably be a good minute but I’ll try
Hi Just like to know if you open a patnership with Auxbeam?😃
What does that mean?
@@dexjs Yes I am wondering if l can send some of Auxbeam kits in exchang to talk about them in one your of video? Like demonstreating its feature or showing off the performance at night.
Loud noises
Can you send me the punout by email to make my own independent harness, except that my gearbox is automatic, it would be very helpful, please, because the video is almost not understandable, regards
I’m going to remake the video. I was in a hurry for a customers engine to test when I made the video.
Thank you very much because my jeep is a 1994 xj the same as the one in the video. I'll be watching when the video comes out. Thank you very much. Regards
THAT'S NOT A STAND ALONE ECU. thats a stock ECU! it's not hard to make this work... i want to run a holley EFI, or anything else...
Nope it's a stand alone harness as he stated
@@rogerkidd6103 a "stand alone harness" implies use with a "stand alone ecu". anyone searching this term is looking to use a aftermarket ECU (AKA stand alone ECU). therefore this title is misleading as it is a factory ECU running on an engine stand! that's not hard to do with any engine. all you need is battery power, key on power, and ground.
