I’m trying to find a factory replacement wiring harness for the fuel pump for a 2006 TJ, I had to cut it to be able to drop the tank. I have already spliced in a plug but looks like I might need to replace that plug and I don’t think I’m going to have enough wire. Would like to have a new harness in hand before I cut out the one that’s in there now.
Been searching online but can’t seem to find anything, anyone have a good source?
Thanks
 
I barely had enough length on the wires when I dropped my tank,I dropped it a bit and unplugged everything and proceeded to drop the tank all the way

I thought about getting a deutsch connector and make my harness as a subharness....but at the time I didn't have enough pins,Now that I think about it,I wanna order some and make a post about it here cause that connector will add 2 inches without adding more wire !
Edit,when I dropped my tank I unhooked all the frame tie downs for the fuel lines&harness that gave me more slack!

You don't have the original plug? If so you could crimp on some barrels (not the connector) And add as much wire as you need!
If not let me know,I'm usually pretty good at finding connector types !
 
I just had to replace mine. One of the pins was burnt and started losing continuity, presumably because it got damaged by the previous fuel pump dying. I found one at O'reilly: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...8684/automotive-suv-2006-jeep-wrangler?q=null

Also a 2006, 2.4L if it matters.

Edit: oh wait, are you looking for wiring all the way back to the transmission where it joins the larger bundle? As far as I can tell from rummaging around down there and looking at wiring diagrams, the next connection point is under the hood as part of a much larger harness. There won't be any dedicated harness available for the pump. From the transmission back I believe is just for the pump, so I think you can easily rebuild that with new wire. I like to use marine grade stuff when replacing anything.

Thanks the plug at the tank is what I’m looking for, it’s a bit pricey but they kind of got ya, I can’t find one anywhere else.

Yeah it seems outrageously expensive for a simple connector, but even rockauto isn't much cheaper. I bet there is a generic or other compatible connector for much less, but I wanted to drive my Jeep so I paid for what was available right down the road. Doesn't even have correctly colored wires. Come on!
 
I got ya DRPayne I used a cheep ass connector to reconnect the wires because it was what I had in the shop now I’m paying for it, but wanted it back on the road.
Thanks CharlesHS I’m definitely putting that link in my favorites.
