I've got a feeling this one's best left to text & pictures, Ry. Otherwise we're lookin' at maybe a couple of weeks' worth of phone conversations...

Text & pictures are extra-good 'cause they stick around where you can refer back to 'em later.

It's gonna' be FUN FUN FUN, though, with that kind of combination of wiring... color codes may have changed in the middle or ANYTHING.

When you say "it has power", do you mean there's power at the fuseblock? Or...?

By "Nothing works", do you mean NOTHING works? Nothing turns on with any switch anywhere? Lights? Gauges? Idiot lights? Nothing?

well nothing works as nothing works ecept the tail lights stay on full time unless you put on the hazzards the the tail lights go off, and it has power at the plugs from the harness, and nooneexcept the 4x4 shop will touch it and they want $75 an hour, witch if it was done in an hour it would be fine. Im an idiot with wiring, anything with cars im good at but not wiring, if anybody thats in the PSL fortpeirce okeechobee stuart type area knows how to do this ill bring the jeep to you and pay you to tinker with it!

Ahem.

I think... it's going to come down to buying a test light, getting the few basic principles (there are really only a few, and they're very basic) figured out, and tearing into it - one circuit at a time, one FUNCTION at a time. Like... ignition. Getting the power source into the computer, getting the computer to talk to the engine (it might already be ready to do that, if it came with the engine & harness). Ignition out of the way, fuel. Then park lights. Like that.

Broken down into a large collection of little steps, the task isn't nearly as daunting.

We do see it, it's not invisable. You need the right harness for the engine
and a wireing diagram for both vehicals, so you know what hooks to what.
Than follow Tim's advise.

wranglers are cj's dude just with newer scarp metal for parts, i waited because i wanted to give it a chance and not just jump the gun because to be perfectly honest i always thought this was IAMNOTSPAM's play rooms for new jeep news, which i think most people think of it as that just putting that out there, im not mad at you when i posted that it like when someone says thanks alot sarcasticly, and it has been here for like 13days with i think 7 or 8 replies, 3 or 4 were me, and 1 was you, so not alot of action, in all fairness of jeep importance

again I'm not mad just stating....
