   -Is the gray key the same for the Cherokee as for the Caravan and the rest of Chryslers

   -Where is the best place to find the(+)Parklight

Yes the grey key is the transponder and for the parklights do you have Cherokee or a Grand Cherokee?

here is away you can use + connection

 

 

Jeep Grand Cherokee 1999+
Parking Lights

 

In the past the only option to illuminate the parking lights of the Jeep Grand Cherokee was to supply a ground pulse through a 240 ohm resistor to the parking light wire at the headlight switch. While this will still work, we believe this Installation Note will provide a safe and easy alternative which requires no hard-to-find parts.

1) Locate the Parking Light Relay and unplug it.

2) Remove terminal 87A and attach a wire to terminal 30. (See diagram.)

3) Re-Install the relay leaving the wire attached to terminal 30.

4) Connect the wire (From terminal 30) to the AutoCommand Lights Wire (Yellow, see AutoCommand Instructions.)

I know it is transponder but I am wondering if the Grand Cherokee uses the same key as the rest of Chryslers
