Install an overhead console #391368 02/01/04 04:52 AM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
How easy is it to install an overhead console in a Cherokee that didn't come with one? Would the wires and brackets already be up there or would I need to install those too? I know I'd have to get the temperature sensor. I've got a 95 2-door Sport - what other years could I look at for donors?

Thanks,
Ben

I've had that little plastic access cover off the headliner of my 97 xj and the only wires up there are for a keyless entry.
I've noticed that there is a plug for the temp sensor behind the front bumber though.

Plastic access cover? Hmmm... All I have on the headliner is a dome light. I'll take a look at the service manual tonight and see if it offers any clues about the wiring in the ceiling.
My other car is a Miata, and the wiring harnesses in those are the same regardless of what options are present. So I have the wiring for power windows/locks/antenna, cruise control, even though I don't have those options. If I wanted to add them I'd just have to install the hardware and plug it into the existing wiring. In general, is that true of Jeeps too?
