Will a factory stereo from a 2001 Jeep Cherokee fit in a 2000 Jeep Wrangler?

Question

I tried installing myself a factory stereo from a 2001 Jeep Cherokee into my 2000 Jeep Wrangler but it didn't work. The plugs all matched up, but the system never came on. Also, when I plugged in the large grey plug into the back it started making a clicking noise, similar to the sound of a blinker. Can anyone give me info. about this? Thanks!

Here's the wiring code for jeep vehicles compare it to your model and the radio from the 2001.

Answer 2

The two radios are identical, so if it doesn't work there might be a problem with the radio. Note that in addition to the black and the gray plugs, there should be a separate ground connection attached directly to the radio's metal chassis. This usually takes the form of a braided metal cable attached with a bolt, or a striped black wire with a spade connector. If the ground connection isn't attached, the radio won't work.

You might also want to check your vehicle's fuses.

perhaps the front a million/2 yet no longer the rear a million/2 because of the fact the cherokee has leaf rears. yet while that's a stable deal and you have get admission to to a stable 4X4 shop around or your prepared to haul it to a minimum of one, purely convert your rear to coils. i'm blessed with some fab skills and a effective shop yet a metamorphosis over like which will choose a professional. i'm additionally blessed to be an hour far flung from Twisted Customs owned through Jason Paulie {different X W.E.ROCK champ} and he's phenomable at considered one of those element besides as in basic terms a super man or woman.

The clicking noise is your ground. Make sure that it's secure or you can blow a fuse. That might be why your radio isn't working. Happens to me all the time.
