SWI-JACK for grand cherokee

[eus090474 10+ year member]

HELP! I have the swi jack installed for the steering wheel controls and it will not program. I got it to flash 8 times like it should but when I click it to start programming the light does not stay on. I have a 01 grand cherokee limited with a kenwood KDC-HD942U head unit. I installed the white wire to the red and white wire from the steering wheel and the blue and yellow wire from the adapter to the blue and yellow from the headunit and I ran the red wire to the red wire from the wire harness of the HU. I also have the AUX plug from the adapter to the HU. Possible bad splice somewhere?

Possibly. It is also very important where you tap into the harness AND you may possibly need to install a relay. My advice is that you call PAC direct...that is what I did and they sent a pic of the EXACT harness location that I needed to tap into and a wiring schematic to add the relay.

I'm attaching the diagram they sent me that I used...of course this is for a GM and not a Jeep.

Thanks, the folks at PAC werent much help. However, I wasnt in the car at the time that I called so there really wasnt much that they could do at the time. I will give them a call again later when I am able to work on it while I have them on the phone. Thank you for all the help!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
