[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433885, member: 18789"] Your hardtop wiring looks a bit different than mine color wise although you do have the two heater wires. Whenever you want to dive in down the road we can compare what we’ve got to make sure yours will all work. Mine is occupying 7 spots if I’m remembering right, although I definitely have two wires spliced into one, so I thought that meant I have 8 wires. I’ll have to look again. Ok so you found that big black plug, there should be a gray one up there, unless Jeep skimped on the dash harness for soft top Jeeps…in that case then yeah you would need another dash harness because you’d be missing the switch connectors. But maybe you’ll find the gray plug taped up up there when you dig more. Hopefully so. If not, then yeah getting the top working will be a bit more expensive because it’s another harness you need. They are available at least. If you spend some extra you could even get the fancy Sahara/renegade dash harness that supports fog lights. Granted your front lighting harness would need to be changed to match that to support them. And you’d need a fog switch. But, good news is there are plenty of heated hardtop, wiper/washer hardtop dash harnesses that do NOT support fogs so if you don’t care about that, you should be able to find something 92-95 easy.
