Do you have a wiring diagram for your model year? What area of the city do you live in as I don't live in the city. ???

Those are my questions too, but I'd also like to know what you meaing by "wiring" it.  Does that mean you just need the existing fuse box replaced with the aftermarket one you have, or does it need more extensive work?

I dont have a wiring diagram and yes i mean replace the old box with the new aftermarket one. The fuse box I bought is a speedway motors kit that has everything required and all the wires are labled every 6''. The dash, heating system and almost all of the unused wires have been removed. I have all the aftermarket gauges as well. I live in Vista Heights just off deefoot and 16th ave ne. If it makes it eisier here is my phone number 4036181730
Thanks James

You should start by searching the internet for a wiring diagram. That will give you a starting point.Wiring is not for the meek and timid. It can be time consuming work to do a good job that will last for years without issue. This sort of project is best done during the winter months. Summer is a busy season for everybody....fishing, wheeling, camping, wheeling, boating, wheeling....you see where I'm going....

I agree absolutely.  I had to debug a nasty electrical problem last summer in my 97 ZJ, and I wouldn't have stood a hope in hell without the diagram - and I'm an EE who's been living with wires my whole life.  When I bought the jeep used the first thing I did was spring for the factory manual directly from Chrysler, and it was worth every penny of the $100 I paid.

Sure, the ZJ body wiring is (I'm guessing) a world more complex than yours, but the same rules apply.
