Default Sentinel/Sentry Wiring ... Help?

I have the clock working... That was the easy part!

Then there appears to be a connector that may interface with the magic-blue-box. But I'd rather do some testing before making any connections.

Anyone happen to have a wiring diagram for it? Such as a Chilton or Haynes?

^What he said^ Only $7.95 online in pdf. format and 10x better than the Hayes I have both, you can get them from Pacific Coast Manuals for your exact yr. of XJ.

Great resources... Thanks!

Unfortunately it seems a recurring theme... Online resources as you-all suggested start with the year 1988. That said... I've been told that 1988 documentation most often covers 1987. In this case... The last year for the Sentinel/Sentry system was 1985. But please feel free to prove me wrong... The search continues!

search ebay for "1985 cherokee fsm" and "factory service manual"

need to make sure you are getting the wiring diagrams, they might be in a supplemental volume, or might be in the single condensed volume, dunno about 85

I have the 1985 FSM M.R.244 in hand... States "Wiring diagrams are printed separately and should be filed in the pocket at the back of the plastic cover". No pocket... No wiring diagrams...
