Default 1988 interior wiring harness.

I have a 1988 XJ and I want to replace the interior wiring harness under the dash, does anyone know if there are any aftermarket ones available? Over the years it had a stereo system stolen, an alarm system added. I put the original radio back in and had the alarm system removed when it stopped working. Because of this and the age if the wires I'd rather just replace the harness.

No aftermarket replacements available. Best bet would be to keep an eye on your local junkyard/you-wrench type yards for a similar year to pull a replacement from.

I'm in the Dfw area, the junkyards here don't have the older model Jeeps or none at all.

Get a wiring diagram and fix it?

No aftermarket harness. Replacing it is a big job, As Cruiser54 suggests, just follow the wiring diagram and address any specific issues.

My 86 Chief had a burned out fuse box, I sourced the interior part for the diesel version and rebuilt it with new terminals , most weird wiring problems went away. This took 3 days. If I recall it came from the Jeep parts place in Colorado.
