Jeep Cherokee steering column

I have been looking for a few days and cannot find the answers to my questions.

First of all I would like to see up close pictures of the way people mounted it under the dash and how it works with the wiring mounted to the tilt steering.

second, I would like to see a few pictures of the engine bay side and how people are mounting the box from a toyota truck.

And third, I am no good at wiring, but if someone has a cherokee specific wiring diagram I would appreciate it.

thanks for the help in advance.

Go to your local library and find a repair manual that covers the donor vehicle and get a copy of the wiring diagram. This will help you decide which wire goes to what function. Sometimes the wiring diagrams can also be found more readily online using their computer database system.

still trying to figure it out

I got the wiring diagram off the internet, and am still having problems with how it works.
I am trying to figure out how these are wired. they both say that they have turn signal wires, but they are not connected up in the steering column. Also, if i hook them together and attach them to the turn signal it doesn't do anything. I know the turn signals work, because when I put power to them they light up.

Good luck,

I have two sets of wires that both say in the wiring diagram that they are for the turn sugnals. I don't understand how they are getting power to them and if the two are connected to each other or how they are run if they are seperate. I am putting it in a 1972 fj40.
thanks

Ok, I went and tried to improve my earlier post with a better diagram. Hope it helps, if not, ask some more questions so I can make it better.
