[QUOTE="petej, post: 1555743, member: 21188"] Boneyard haul today. Little stuff like a Rear wiper motor, Pigtails for the Rear door dome light switches (it never had rear light switches), a replacement Console lid to replace the cracked one. I bought new door jamb switches from my locals parts house as there are a one and done type of deal. They set their final shaft length when the door is shut for the first time. The rear door light switch pigtails are unobtainium around here. The two Jeeps in my local boneyard didn't have them at all. Granted, the '87 that was there uses the old school GM jamb switch that grounds to the body, where is the newer one uses an isolated switch with a power and a ground wire to the switch. So I stole the front door switch pigtails from each side. I had to modify the front switch pigtails to work with the rear, which involved cutting off the giant front harness plugs, removing the grommet and using some wire connectors for the driver side where I had the length in the body harness to make it work. The Passenger side... well, that I had to get creative, because I had NO extra wire length and could barely pull the connector out far enough to even look at it, so, after robbing the female terminal from the CHMSL which is no longer used (that plug fits the body side harness male plug for the dome light), getting all the wires joined up, plugged it in and viola! Lights when the rear doors are open! I could have used the body side plug on the driver side as well, but it looks like somewhere in this things life, someone shut the plug in the door, crushing it. The console cover needed a good scrubbing, but looks really good, minus a few scratches. The rear wiper motor was a bolt on affair, no frills and thrills there. The alarm is now fully informed on the vehicle status, the console now looks 100 times better, and I have a working rear wiper!

She was wrecked HARD on the driver front corner, airbag popped, column collapsed, wrinkled from front to rear. I'll be going back to the bone yard later this week for the inner hatch trim panel, the hatch struts (Which were brand new) and some other little pieces just to have around. [/QUOTE]
