This weekend was productive on the 89 XJ 4.0l with the exception of finding a smoked wire where the previous owner tried to salvage it using electrical tape. I have no idea where that wire went but it came off the motorcraft starter relay battery terminal. I also found a wire that came from the cab to the green wire on the same relay, but that was hooked up to a momentary push button switch which wasn't necessary to start the jeep.
All that being said, in my clean up effort the dang thing won't start or even send power to the starter solenoid. I was able to start it by jumping a hot wire to the starter solenoid terminal on the starter relay.
So with the fried wire and the starting issue along with cracked and exposed wires, I am curious if there is a good diagram I can get my hands on to torture myself.
