Hey everyone-
As I was getting out of my '93 XJ (country) the other day, I noticed some wires hanging down under the dash terminating in a yellow-insulated, ring crimp connector. :huh:
4 wires run into the crimp-connector, 3 bigger gauge wires: black, blue, and white, and one smaller black wire. I took a look underneath the dash, and it looks like the wires lead into the anti-theft key recepticle at the bottom of the kick panel. I didn't know if the ring was supposed to be grounded out somewhere, or if grounding it would send sparks flying. I did know that the jeep would start up and run ok, so I just put some electrical tape around the connector and put it up under the dash. The only thing I've noticed out of place is that when the antitheft key-deal is pulled out, the red LED no longer blinks.
I'm guessing that this chunk of wires was perhaps grounded somewhere, but I wanted to check with you guys first. If it is supposed to be grounded, do you know where? And if not, what was it connected to in the first place? I should be content with the jeep running fine, but would prefer to have the wires going to their intended places.
Thanks in advance!
