89 4.0 under dash wire (identify please)

The blue wire w/wht tracer and spade connector.

I was dinkin' around under my dash rerouting some wires and this popped up.

Not:gee: sure if it was plugged in to something and I pulled it off or what.

It's got a resistor or something inline with it. Any help appreciated.

looks like the ac temp sensor to me

I have my '90 XJ apart right now and took a look for anything like that. I don't see anything with a blue and white wire. I do have 3 spade connectors but all are black wires. One goes to the headlight switch, one goes to the cigarette lighter and one goes to the radio. None have a resistor inline.

I recognize that this doesn't help much but thought you might want to check all three areas to see if it might fit.

It looks like the wire for cruise control. Does it go to that brown deal near it?

AC temp sensor would be on the passenger side and not have a spade terminal on it. .

Blue and white is most likely an add-on like stereo/alarm/reote starter stuff.

That looks to me like brake switch wire for the cruise control. The un-insulated terminal should be inserted into the brake switch connector and has fallen out. The brown connector with the jumper in it is for the clutch pedal switch. Yours being an automatic, doesn't need it, hence the jumper inserted.

Of course, without being there to put my hands on it and trace it, it's all speculation on my part....

That was my guess, then after posting noticed this thread is over 2 years old...
