You could order a factory service manual. That would have all the wiring diagrams you could possibly want.
Also, there are place to find online material. Infact, here is a link to it.

I would like to state I was not posting to get in any troubles or get anyone in trouble. I know when working on my 1980 Honda CB 750F the manual was in PDF form online at a CB sponsored site. Never thought more than that. They may have gotten permission ect. So this post can be deleted since I do not want to cause any headaches. Sorry.
See http://www.techauthority.com. That's really the only authorized place to get the real FSM, either on paper or PDF as new.
I know somebody is gonna say eBay, and that's fine for paper copies. Unfortunately, it's also a haven for copyright violations by sellers of burned copies.
It's also *NOT* legal to post up entire copies of the PDFs on a website. Sharing electronics clips, like a single page of a wiring diagram, is a gray area. That should fall under fair use, but Chrysler's lawyers are one heckuva lot bigger than we are.
I'm inclined to leave this up, on the chance that somebody can post up another place to get legit copies.

MC manuals seem to be an oddity. Many On-Line Honda parts dealers have all catalogs on-line for you to browse and buy parts.
You can get real reliable diagrams from Haynes service manuals. They are all the way at the back of the manual, and cover most years and configuations.

So what about Alldata? We have it at school, and on most topics it is just a xerox'd diagram from the FSM. They also have links to print, fax, all kinds of sharing options. Could I print out an Alldata diagram and post it up?

I have PM'd people info like that before, but I wouldn't direct link it here. I can't imagine that wouldn't be some sort of copyright violation.

Ain't that a b****? You own the vehicle, yet you don't own the right to view a service manual without paying $90
Take a look at a book store-'big' books do cost that much or more. Consider that often just one trip to the dealer cost more than $90.
FSM should be the first item purchased for a vehicle. Real Factory Service Manuals are a Bargain.
Mine 'paid' for itself easy, in the first year, in savings on parts and service.

I think I got the last FSM I bought on ebay used for $20 (with shipping). Hell, even a Haynes manual is $16 plus tax. I agree with orange, it should be the purchase. Even before you actually purchase your jeep.
Now I do have quite a collection digital (and illegal) FSM's. They are out there on the internet. But I'm not sharing or helping anyone find them.

The guidelines for reproducing Alldata diagrams, says to the best of my recollection. That they may be reproduced for information purposes only. I'm reading that as, as long as it isn't reproduced for sale it's OK, but I'm not a lawyer. I'm guessing bits and pieces might be OK, a whole set probably not.
But it is a can of worms, I know two guys personally, that got into the chit for reproducing stuff. One did it for sale, the other just posted the info on an open site. Some stuff has been posted on open sites, like forever and to the best of my knowledge is still there. Who knows for sure :dunno: , the best solution IMO is to be discrete. Don't make it easy on whomever surfs the sites and harasses offenders. Avoid links and direct references.
Selling copyrighted materials (print, CD, bitstream, etc.) is a really good way to get in hot water.
Based you that, I suspect that Alldata might not get too upset if a specific page was posted in reference to a particular question. Posting the entire wiring diagram set would probably be over the line.
In any event, I really don't want to have to deal with the lawyers.

Autozone.com has some limited repair guides and wiring diagrams listed on their website. I have to belive this is legit..I can't see Autozone commiting copyright infringement, lol.
