with your window switches it could be the wiring harness or switch..(or fuse, motor)
there are EXCELLENT youtubes on nearly all XJ tasks (including overhaul window switch)..a BIG bonus to owning such a common vehicle from USA
but I recommend rule out wiring anomaly 100% first, I had to piggyback wires in several places to get things working..even though they passed continuity tests!! (did O/H switch to no avail)
thats wy i run a 12V wire to each point, starting with motor, work back

I have an idea with most mechanical things... Have restored one car before and am a tinkerer so I have plenty of time (study electrical engineering full time, so heaps of spare time
)
Cheers! manuals never go astray, will download them asap.
So those 2 really deep holes with the odd end on them are TORX? Any idea which size, like t15 or t20? I'll need to get a torx screwdriver set as my torx socket set doesnt fit in the hole
Well the windows I'm not too worried about at this point in time. The power connector isn't connected as it won't mate up to the one there, it is completely different..... should I melt that plastic shit and make it fit?
Also..... the dash lighting and gear selector lighting doesnt work with the rotary switch (and headlight switch). Would it be best to change the switch...? and do I remove it by getting that darned dash binnacle thing off?

Cheers. I'm led to believe its the wrong part. It is brand new and fully seated. Is there 2 different versions of this sensor?

Fixing things by yourself will help you learn a lot abouth it and appreciate it more. Chaps on this site are verry helpfull as you allready experienced.
Advices are prety much on the spot and makes pin pointing a fault much easier but consider them as advices/suggestions only . After all you should be the one to find the problem using the help provided and if you share the knowledge will also help others .
BTW...welcome to the forum ...
Cheers.

Cheers! I wasn't keen on a high k car.... it's very clean for 22yo and wont be too hard to sort out these little bits and pieces. I plan to do majority of the work on the jeep, as I do with all my other cars.
I am also really happy there seems a very helpful and welcoming forum presence here! Thankyou to everyone and I will continue to frequent the site, inputting what I can in future
