My cuts turned out a lot cleaner and smoother than I expected

Yes it is a '99. I just used the jumper method in the connector down in the driver side kick panel. There is a thread here with detailed info. of this fix. Should be easy to find.
Heres the link to the thread on how to fix it https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/win...working-13287/

That's sad. But there are people that would rather pay the money than do it themselves. A buddy of mine is that way all of his vehicles. I tell him all the time that we can do it ourselves for a lot less, but he just doesn't want to mess with it.

Adjusted front sway bar quick disconnects and swapped out my stupid two gauge cluster for the full cluster.

I've read the jump method but I got a 2yo who's talking a liking to all the switches. I'd like to keep the child lock somehow. Thanks though.
Might have to breakdown and buy a new switch. $65 is the cheapest I've seem though.
