Backup Lights

Fudd · Apr 25, 2005

Ok, I've swapped in an AX-15 for the AW-4 on my 87 XJ I stilll have the auto harness on the rig. I've grounded the NSS wire and now I need to figure out the backup light circuit. I'm assuming I have to splice in the manual plug somehow into the harness. Any help would be great

Look at which wire from the harness in the engine bay gives you backup lights. Then splice that harness into the ax15 wiring.
This might help a bit

thanks, but no dice I guess w/ the difference in years I don't have any of those colors on my harness, I figure tomorrow I'll just trace the wires from the bulbs up to the front

IIRC the way I found the right wire was to ground each one of those pins when the engine was running and see which one would turn the lights on.

According to one diagram I have for an 87, wires are brown/white and yellow/white.
