Does anyone happen to know where I can find/more like purchase this connector or maybe the complete wire harness? Besides having a run through 1000 different junkyards looking for it…. After a very very thorough inspection I came across these wires and I believe some oil got on there and just chewed them up so when I started taking off all the wrapping the plastic/rubber just literally fell apart… so if anybody has any ideas I’d appreciate it

Love those bare wires. First you need to tell us what model and year you have. That kind of looks like WJ stuff to me. If the plastic in the plugs is still good you can salvage that. You need a pic like these and you can get into any terminal in your PDC or plugs in the vehicle and swap or repair


You can remove them one by one and wrap a little tape around those wires and reinsert them into the plug

Thanks, but you can still repair your wires with the pics
Thanks ,I will pick them up….. but I’m still having some crazy issues….. when I turn the key to the on position my AC fan turns on but if I turn the AC fan from the off position to anything like AC or heater the fan stops running I don’t know but I’m thinking a computer problem….

It souinds moe like yoiu have a selector switch problem. It defaults to defrost which will activate the AC pump to dry out the air in the defrost mode. Once you start it, look and see if the AC compressor is running with the fan. Also if the fan relay is bad, it will activate the fan motor

I only have one issue with that it’s the fact that it does not kick over it cranks but will not start….

Checked for codes?
I did …. And I also separated all those wires carefully added tape in between everything, from there I checked my fuses I had like six burn fuses because I believe the wires touched and burned everything out finally replaced the fuses and it started without any problem but now I’m getting a code telling me that there’s no communication from the transmission so I know it’s those cables and I’m gonna have to go either find them online somewhere or do a junkyard hunt ….it’s been a stressful couple of days …..
i love my XJ ,,,, but sometimes I just want to pour gas on it and throw a match ,,,,,

Wow, sorry for what looks like a major headache. Yeah, I’m with everyone else in that it looks like you can repair all of the bad insulation and clean out the plugs with some brake parts cleaner. You might want take care of the oil leak that is getting to those wire. Don’t want to be back in the same boat down the road because you ignored the leak. Might want to check the plug for the transmission as well since you are getting the tranny codes to make sure you don’t have any wires grounding out on each other like that harness.
