Familiarize yourself with the harness by locating each of the harness sections in the following list. (Whenever a particular harness section is referred to in these instructions it is shown in “all caps”: ENGINE SECTION A) Note that, according to the particular harness you have purchased, some of these sections may not be present, and some are not labeled.
Consider the following guidelines. A good exercise is to lay out the wire harness on the floor beside your Jeep and identify all the SECTIONS. You will want to route the harness through and around open areas. Inside edges provide extra protection from hazards and also provide places for tie wraps, clips, and other support.
6.1.3 Install the firewall grommet (early models only). Route engine and headlight group wires through the grommet and position the harness groups in the areas decided upon in Sections 5.3 and 5.4. 6.1.4 Route dash group (ACCESSORY SECTION B+, ACCESSORY SECTION SWITCHES, HEADLIGHT SECTION B, INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION, and RADIO SECTION) upward to rear of dash and temporarily tie in place.
Terminal Installation and Making Connections Note: In the following steps you will be making the circuit connections. Before you start, you should carefully read Sections 7.0 through 11.0, as appropriate, and continually refer to Section 12.0, DOUBLE- CHECKING your routing and length calculations before cutting any wires and making connections.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS – ALL JEEPS Generator Charging System. Use Paragraph 8.1.1. Generator to Alternator Conversion. Use Paragraph 8.1.2. Connecting an Ammeter and the Midi Fuse. See Figure 7.1. Figure 7.1 Ammeter & Midi Fuse 7.3.1 The Ammeter must be inserted IN SERIES onto the ENGINE SECTION (single 10-gauge red wire #716) that routes from the Fuse Panel to the Starter Solenoid (Starter Relay if you have a Ford or Mopar starter system).
CAUTION: BOTH AMMETER TERMINALS MUST BE ABSOLUTELY ISOLATED FROM GROUND. IF EITHER AMMETER TERMINAL COMES IN CONTACT WITH GROUND A HARNESS FIRE IS INEVITABLE. USE EXTREME CARE AND DILIGENCE IN CONNECTING AMMETERS. BE SURE YOUR AMMETER’S CURRENT (AMPS) RATING EXCEEDS THE CURRENT OUTPUT OF YOUR ALTERNATOR.
7.4.3 IGNITION SWITCH SECTION wire #719 (pur) has been cut and spade lugs installed on the GM keyed steering column wiring. These spade lugs are to be connected to the Neutral Safety Switch at the base of the steering column. If using a neutral safety switch on a floor shifter or in the transmission, the two purple wires with the yellow spade lugs must be connected together and the (pur) #719 needs to be routed to the neutral safety switch, cut and connected to it, then continued on to the...
Interior Lighting. See Figure 7.3. 7.5.1 Interior Lights are switched through the door switches and the dash-mounted headlight switch, which is usually rotated counter-clockwise to turn on. These switches apply ground to the circuit. YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY THESE GROUND WIRES.
Note: The wire going to the fan in Figure 7.4 will be coming from the fan relay output terminal. Wire #701 (gry/wht) from the ACCESSORY SECTION SWITCHES is an activation wire for the fan relay. DO NOT TRY TO POWER THE FAN WITH THIS WIRE. 7.6.5 Connect the DIMMER SWITCH SECTION cable to its mating connector in the harness (if applicable) and your floor-mounted Dimmer Switch or column-...
Figure 7.7 Painless Fan Relay Kit (Part #30101) HEADLIGHT SECTION B Wiring. See Figure 7-6. 7.7.1 Connect the 6 wires of HEADLIGHT SECTION B, the Dome and Interior Light return circuit, and the Headlamp Switch Ground as shown. If you do not have a GM headlight switch, you should trace out the wires of your existing harness and connect the new harness according to Table 12-1.
7.8.6 Install the #735 (red/wht) wire of the voltmeter to the driver’s side terminal and the blk wire to the passengers side terminal of the voltmeter and secure with nuts. 7.8.7 Install the #722 (lt.blu/blk) oil gauge wire to the terminal of the oil gauge and secure with nuts.
CHARGING AND IGNITION SYSTEMS – AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED BY JEEP CAUTION: IF YOU ARE USING A HIGH AMPERAGE (65 AMPS OR HIGHER) ALTERNATOR SEE SPECIAL INSTRUCTION SHEET PP-662 INCLUDED IN THIS KIT. IF YOU DID NOT GET THIS, PLEASE CALL THE TECH LINE AT 800-423-9696 OR SEND AN E-MAIL TO TECH@PAINLESSPERFORMANCE.COM.
8.1.2 Generator to Alternator Conversion You can convert your generator charging system to use an alternator and external regulator without altering or re-routing existing wires. You will need to obtain an externally regulated alternator and a compatible voltage regulator. Install the new alternator and replace the existing generator voltage regulator with the new, alternator-compatible one.
1975 to 1978 Note: 1975-1978 could have either Motorcraft or Delco systems installed. 8.2.1 Motorcraft Alternator (2 configurations). See Figure 8.3. Note: Your Alternator may not appear exactly as represented in Figure 8.5. The circuits are wired the same way, though. Figure 8.3 Motorcraft Alternator (2 configurations) Connect the provided 6 gauge red wire to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).
8.2.2 Delco Alternator – Internal Regulator. See Figure 8.4. Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #714 (wht) to Alternator terminal 1. Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #795 (red) to Alternator terminal 2 Connect one end of the supplied large 6 gauge red wire to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).
A ballast resistor has been provided with part #10105, those with part #10106, a resistor can be obtained at your local parts store using part number RU11.
The Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal is connected to the Distributor. Also connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #723 (pur/wht) to the Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal. This is the tachometer source. If you are not using a tachometer, insulate and stow wire #723. A 14-gauge wire connected from the Starter Solenoid Ignition (l) terminal to the ignition coil side of the Ballast Resistor is optional.
Figure 8.6 Prestolite BID Ignition (Start/Run) System Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #723 (pur/wht) to the Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal. This is the tachometer source. If you are not using a tachometer, insulate and stow wire #723. 1978 and Newer 8.3.1 Delco Charging System (1979 and Newer).
Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #719 (pur) to the Starter Relay Start (S) terminal. Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #720 (pnk) to one end of the existing Resistive Wire. You may replace this wire with a Ballast Resistor. Your Jeep may already have a Ballast Resistor installed. Connect the other end of the resistive wire (or Ballast Resistor) to the Ignition Coil POSITIVE (+) terminal with 14-gauge wire (you may have enough pink wire left over to accomplish this).
CHARGING AND IGNITION SYSTEMS – JEEP WITH GM ENGINES INSTALLED Note: Your Alternator may not appear exactly as represented in the Figures. The circuits are wired the same way, though. Delco Alternator (before 1969) – External Regulator. See Figure 9.1. 9.1.1 Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #795 (red) to Voltage Regulator terminal 3.
10.2.1 Connect the provided 6 gauge red wire to the battery stud on the Alternator. The other end of this wire will connect to the Midi fuse. 10.2.2 Connect the cut off end of the provided 6 gauge red wire from the other side of the MIDI fuse to the Starter Relay Battery terminal.
11.0 CHARGING AND IGNITION SYSTEMS – JEEP WITH MOPAR ENGINES INSTALLED 11.1 Mopar Alternator. See Figure 11.1. Note: Your Alternator may not appear exactly as represented in Figure 11.1. The circuits are wired the same way, though. Figure 11.1 Mopar Alternator 11.1.1 Mopar uses one of two kinds of voltage regulators: An electronic regulator and a mechanical one.
11.1.4 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the other Alternator Field terminal (as shown in Figure 11-1) to the second terminal of the ELECTRONIC Voltage Regulator OR terminal F of the MECHANICAL Voltage Regulator. On existing Mopar harnesses, this would be a green wire. Also connect a 14-gauge wire from this terminal to chassis ground.
Figure 11.2 Mopar Ignition (Start/Run) System 11.2.3 If the Neutral Safety Switch is mounted on the floor shifter, connect the Starter Relay Ground (G) terminal to chassis ground. 11.2.4 If you are using a Ballast Resistor, mount it away from other wiring and hoses.
12.0 TESTING THE SYSTEM 12.1 Use a small (10 amp or less) battery charger to power up the vehicle for circuit testing. If there is a problem anywhere, the battery charger’s low amperage and internal circuit breaker will provide circuit protection. CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE NOT YET DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FROM THE JEEP, DO SO NOW! DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY CHARGER WITH THE BATTERY CONNECTED.
