HOW TO: Find the factory harness for your MOPAR Light Bar

[fouros]

Looks Like i found the Harness for the Mopar Light Bar here is a little how to look for it .

if you remove the Grab handle trim from the Left hand Side of the KJ at the bottom of the A pillar there is a socket that is being un-used

this is the FACTORY wiring harness for the Light Bar

you will also find behind the Trim that goes between the steering wheel and the drivers door a plug like this

the switch that comes with the light bar kit plugs into it like so

from there you connect the harness from the light bar

to the plug as shown in the first picture like so

and your done this is the result

so it looks like all that extra crap that comes with the light bar kit is surplus to requirements , Unless being an export KJ I just got Lucky

does anybody want to check thier Limited or sports to see if you have the same harness in your kj's


now i have to drill holes in my roof :shock:

I have a 02 liberty sport. I recently checked to see if i had any of this Pre-Wired stuff for the factory light bar. There was nothing at all under my A pilar. Still havent pulled off that little plate on the dash to check for the switch's plug but i doubt anything is there. Does this mean a Mopar Light bar wont work in my model KJ? Or does the kit come with all the neccisary components to install?

 

[fouros]

yes you can still install the light bar as it comes with a complete harness for you to use




i was very lucky to have all the gubbins already there , must be an export KJ thing

 

[Stampey]

Ahh you lucky duck. Oh well it will still be worth all the work. Thanks.

[chetos]

Maybe the socket is at the other A piller for US KJ's. Being that Fouros has his steering wheel on the wrong side! \/

Hey Welshman did you manage to fit your lightbar?, i was looking in excess of 700 ukp (genuine MOPAR including shipping) for one from the states.

Not present on my 2007

 

[fouros]

i think the premium wiring harness is only for export KJ's

sorry guys in the US

 

[VanDiesel]

700 GBP ??

Look on E-bay, you can get a new MOPAR one for around 400 euros!

Just had a look on ebay - found one for 460 dollars around 216 ukp and unbelievably only 60 usd thats 30 ukp for shipping.

Mmm wonder what UK customs would do to me [probably best to assume the position now]

You got one of those wife people as well..Mmm wonder how much i could trade my new SIDIs in for..

So I'm in the US. I don't have the wiring in already. I found a Light bar at a junk yard with the wire that come from it to the a pillar. But I can not find the rest of the wires from Jeep they say I need to buy the whole set up. And help would be great.

DONE!
I did it... the light bar remained connected as if it were original, I even managed to enable the indicator light on the dashboard when I turned them on
