1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee VSS wire and Reverse Signal Wire

[CRMTx Hatteras]

so check it out.. all those people who are having a crazy hard time finding the VSS or Speed Signal Wire and the Reverse wire let me tell you where they are.. ALL INSIDE THE CAR.. no need to run wires through the firewall.

After spending about 2 hours looking on forums and trying to locate these wires i found them on my own..

The VSS wire is located behind the cluster panel (which i knew would be there just didn't want to play with random wires). I printed out a schematic which told me what each wire does.

This website will tell you what they are.
The VSS wire is the White wire with the orange stripe, it may not be in the same location as the website lists above but that is your wire.

Now for the Reverse light wire, I took off my taillight, put my truck in R, and used a meter til i found the color of my wire... Which is the Purple wire with Black stripe.. now i didn't want to run a wire from the back of my truck to the front so i found it under the driver's side kick panel. Again, it will still be the Purple wire with Black stripe.. use a meter or test light.. DO NOT JUST GO OFF CHOPPING PURPLE WIRES!!! Find out which one is the right one by putting your Vehicle in the ACC key position, put the vehicle in Reverse and stab a few wires til you get a signal.. ha.. then, while holding the signal, put your truck in park.. if you lose the signal than that is your wire!.. now go have fun
