    INTRODUCTION You have purchased what we at Painless Performance believe to be the most up-to-date and easiest-to-install universal Jeep wire harness on the market. It is designed for easy installation, even if you have no electrical experience. There is enough length to the wire at all engine, dash, and tail locations to complete the installation without splicing.

    Figure 3.1 Contents of the Painless Wire Harness Kit * 10105 does not come with the Turn Signal Switch Connector. TOOLS NEEDED In addition to your regular tools, you will need, at least, the following tools: Note: Use a quality tool to avoid over-crimping) Crimping Tool ( Wire Stripper Continuity Tester (test light or ohm meter)
  • Page 9 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.
  • Page 10: Wire Harness Physical Installation Instructions

    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.
  • Page 12: Terminal Installation And Making Connections

    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.
  • Page 13: General Electrical Systems - All Jeeps

    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).

  • Page 22: Generator To Alternator Conversion

    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.

  • Page 35: Testing The System

    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.
