Body Damage is Cool
Does anyone have a wiring guide for the grand Cherokees? I ordered a part so I can hook up my LED DRL's properly.It is a plug and play unit , with a fused red to battery , black to battery , + and - to the DRL (each side) and a white wire that they say to hook up to a positive ignition wire so that when I turn on my lights the LED turn off.I know there are 2 ignition wires in the jeep from when I did my alarm install , but I want to find one under the hood so I am not having to run an extra wire from near the battery all the way to inside the cab.There has to be one there somewhere , only thing is I don't have a wiring guide , only parts.This is a 96 GC with 5.2.

The nice thing about this unit is it is all auto, you start the jeep the LED will come on , turn it off they shut off in 5 seconds , turn on the lights and they shut off.Right now the way I have them , they are wired into my parking lights , so I have to turn on the parking lights to have the LED , and they stay on when I turn the lights on.Having them come on and off auto will be a lot nicer.

I think when my part comes in I am going to wire the white wire to the positive on the parking lights.This way when I turn on the light the box will get a + signal which should turn off the LED when the lights are turned on which is what I am aiming for.
