V6?? never seen one unless its a Ford Exploder- they do a veesix. Ive looked under the shifter around the console. that just has wires for the illuminati at the shifter and two cables- 1 for kickdown and other for shifter. on the tailshaft is electric speedo sender and warning light switch for high low and 4wd

My ex has a grand cherokee LTD 1996 mine is a 1994- squarer shape. hers is identical to my motor -a staight six from a fuckin valiant virtually!


Anyhoo.. good point , but no I checked. The wires are just two. and they split off to illuminate the =hi lo and 4wd lever as well

Found it and sorted it! its hidden under a metal stick and stone guard- you cant even follow the wiring from it- realy well made!
Ayhoo.. its got dust in it and has become intermittent.
Now found that it also controls kickdown reversing lights trans hold and neutral safety switch. 8 pairs of contacts. so if anyone ever needs it cos their jeep has trans problems, go here-
