Does anyone have the wiring diagram for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee sport? Were there any changes from 00, and are there any things to look out for? Thanks

Does anyone know if the 2000 diagram will work for the 2001? I appreciate the help.

I noticed that in the above wiring list, it says that the Power Lock and Unlock are "positive Pulse door lock", but the list I downloaded for the 2000 says 3 wire negative. Which one of these is true?

Also, the 2000 list says "door unlock may require relay; for keyless entry upgrade to an alarm, Arm=Blue, Disarm=Blue/Red, located in overhead console." I'm about to install a Crim Guard 745i3 with built in relays for door lock/unlock, and according to their manual for 3 wire negative systems there is a blue wire from the alarm that goes to the swithc unlock wire, and a GREEN/ black wire that goes to the switch lock wire. Does arm mean lock and disarm mean unlock? Or do I hook these to the wires listed in the above list (blue from alarm to pink/violet in car & GREEN/ blk from alarm to ORANGE / violet of car)

Thanks again

I wanted to thank you again. I completed the install this weekend, and it took me like 9 hours to get it all in (don't laugh)... I guess the more installs you do, the quicker you get. It was hard for me to solder under the dash because the factory wiring harness' have little to no slack. Then figuring out a place to put all the sensors was tough. Then trying to fit a drill under the dash to for grounding was another thing that slowed me down. But I love the new alarm and all the features. Thanks again Jeff!
