HELP..Name that TJ plug - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Snowrydr01 · 08-12-2008, 06:29 AM

Long story short: bought a rolled tj, prior owner took the whole front end apart and didnt label anything.

This is the last plug i dont have mapped, its on the drivers side very close to the firewall. I have looked all over the engine bay but cannot find a loose male end that would go here.

After looking at our 01, I think I found it. on ours, there is another short (approx 8" or so) harness that plugs into the plug in question and then goes up and plugs into the back side of the cannister thing that is above and to the right of the red circle on your picture. The previous guy might have taken both ends of the plug loose and then would have completely removed the short wire harness that you would need to connect those back together.
Hope that helps you out.

After looking at it some more, I was only partly right.....
The short wire does not plug into anything in your picture. The cannister thing it plugs into is larger than the one in your picture. It is mounted just to the left of the green service port in our Jeep if you were looking at it from the front. I'm sure it is all part of the vacuum system, sorry I can't tell you what it does though. Sorry if that is just confusing.....

it was a bit confusing as to the location on the wire? I understand somewhere along the firewall, but at you saying its on the passenger side? Im sure its tight in there but a picture of where the wire im looking for originates would be great.

do you have the ABS option?

Over at jeep forum somene with an SE is claiming his plug is empty. Due to its location to the brake and the SE not having it im thinking it may be a plug for "optional equipment"

of course if you dont have ABS then that theory blows

Sorry for the confusion, I can't think of a good way to explain it really. Everything I am looking at is on the driver's side right around the brake system. If you were to bolt the black bracket back like it is supposed to go (the bracket that this plug in question is attached to) then yours would be looking just like mine. On mine, there is a short wire harness that plugs into that plug and goes up in front of the brake system and plugs into a plug on another vacuum canister (not pictured on yours) The plug is right next to where that green cap (up and to the right of the red circle in your picture) would be if yours was bolted back in. Our Jeep has ABS. it is an 01 sport 5spd 4.0 with cruise also. I have a feeling it may have somthing to do with the cruise actually.

I'll look at our tJ and see if I could help a bit also, I'll update in around 1 hour.

EDIT: Okay, our Wrangler is a 1999 TJ Sport with ABS and everything else aviable as an option at the time, and that plug is wired in with a whole lot of others. It goes from there, down where it T's at another section of wire. I think all it is for is ABS, I say your good to go.

Have fun!

sweet, the fact you both have ABS and its plugged in and so far two other SE's have not had it would definately lead me to believe its ABS. Thanks for all the help everyone
