first problem on the new(er) jeep in two months, and its kinda my fault. there were idiots who let idiots work on this jeep before i bought it. performance exhaust set up installed, but they installed the O2 sensor pointing DOWN from the pipe, so that it was lower than anything else on the unercarriage. go figure. anyway, i hit some tree limbs and pulled the wires out from the connectors. decided (too late) to have the O2 hole welded over, and re-tapped in a better posistion. problem is this...i dont know which wire on the new o2 sensor goes where. it was a universal setup, the only other one in stock had the wrong plastic connector on it. when the tree limb hit this, it pulled the wires straight out of the old connector, so no help there. the two i am needing info on are both black, one has a red tracer, one has a teal (almost white) tracer on it. one will be a ground wire, and one will be the sensor wire. the two heater wires are accounted for. my check engine light is on, so i need to reset it first, but, if i happen to hook these two wires up backwards, will it burn up the o2 unit? and.. is tehre a net page with instructions on using the reset for the check engine light, and the codes for it, for a 96 grand? im off to try and find a manual now, probably hanes, but not sure how much info they will have for me on this subject. thanks for the help Tim in colorado
