Im having an issue with my MJ 87 4.0
I'm going to add as much detail as possible.
Okay when I got my 87 MJ, the reverse ligjts were not working, when I looked under the reverse light switch had two cut wires coming out of it.
I went to the junk yard, and got a new switch and wire harness, however I connected it to those two connecters (1 at a time) but none of them gave me power, and I checked all fuses and I'm good.
I'm lost on what to do.

Well, first off, let's get one thing straight: Welcome to the forum! ![Cheers](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
Now, as to your problem, I'm confused.![Confused](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Are you thinking that those two connectors go together?
