Another EVIC MOD - NEED HELP w/ 05' install !

[Mytmouse]

I'm going cross eyed from all of the 40+ pages from the HOW TO: Install an EVIC thread - so I decided to start a new Thread to get some help/solutions

​Ok I thought I had everything figured out and got all my necessary parts. I have an 05 Liberty that required me getting the extra mounting bracket to install the EVIC. I finally had some time to do this mod. First thing stopped me in my tracks - that is that the dome courtesy light plug / wiring is totally different in my 05 Liberty than the EVIC (56042756AJ) I got from Ebay. I've been though all of the 40+ pages from the HOW TO: Install an EVIC thread - I can't find the wiring difference and /or solution to this. Can anyone HELP?

I figured out/found the courtesy dome light plug wiring and lights working backwards dilemma from post #96 & #97 on the HOW TO Install an EVIC thread. Now I just have to figure out how to change/move the wiring within the plug.

As I mentioned last night I hooked up the EVIC and powered it up briefly. I did not cut the head linener/mount it yet - the no turning back portion, until I was sure everything is working. All seems to be working except the Temperature reads --F .
The EVIC I got is from a 2004 GC, which reading here, multiple times, says an 04 or newer EVIC will work for my 05 Liberty temp reading to work. I do have a temp sensor installed, even purchased an additional new one, same result. Some say it might just need to register different temps for more than 5 min. I have the Liberty still in my garage as I'm working on other things, so I haven't kept it on longer than 5 min.
I have a few other issues like only one tire is not reading pressure, but the other three show 33,33,32 , I didn't even think I had TPMS sensors in ths tires?..?..?. Also only the front drivers and front passengers door register open/closed, not the any of the rear doors or glass/gate, but still does show on the dash.

See pics - I used tap a fuse on #13 fuse position, and the OBD adapter worked out nice , hope the cutting of the headliner comes out as well..

I now had the Liberty out in the driveway running longer than 5 min. STILL NO TEMP. reading.
Does this mean I NEED AN EVIC FROM AN 05 OR HIGHER.... ?

I believe we need an EVIC out of an 04, or 05 to 07 LIBERTY specifically?
I have an Ebay seller who has a few andrelized that, and is asking the part number - he recalls the Liberty's EVIC having a bit different part number from a previous transaction. ..

Does anyone know what the part number(s) would be for an 04, 05, 06 ,or 06 for an EVIC specifically from a Liberty?

Now to add to my EVIC issues - besides the -- F for the temp. I now noticed all of a sudden when the kids get in the back (open both rear doors) only the right rear started showing open and never clears (shows closed) when the doors are closed. I have to unplug the EVIC to get it to stop showing - only until my daughter opens the right rear door again.
I'm leaving this EVIC DISCONNECTED and going back to just the map courtesy lights until I find the PROPER EVIC ....

Ebay seller mentioned this;

The last numbers 57aj or 49aj the 56 is tps but I know the liberty has the first half of the number is different..

Any help/ idea of the Liberty part number?

Got another EVIC (from 05 Liberty) wires different coloring

I just found another EVIC at a wreckers out East of me - they say it's from an 05 Liberty part number P/N 56010520AD...

I see that the wire colors for the EVIC plug are different and the Courtesy Dome light plug is the same as in my 05 Liberty, which is a plus (I wont have to mess with that wiring)...

Now I'm wondering if the way I wired my wiring from the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ - Overhead console and EVIC and Installing an OTIS How To install an EVIC is going to work?
The say :
EVIC pin #5 Blue / White to fused ignition switch Output (#13 fuse block)
EVIC pin #4 Black/Orange to pin #4 of the OBD port > GROUND
EVIC pin#3 Pink to pin #16 of the OBD port > FUSED B (+)
EVIC pin#2 Yellow/Violet to pin #2 of the OBD port > PCI BUS

Where as this (05 Liberty) EVCI plug has:
EVIC pin#5 Pink / Green
EVIC pin# 4 Black/White
EVIC pin# 3 Red
EVIC pin# 2 White Violet

Got another EVIC (from 05 Liberty) wires different coloring

IF the pins/functions to the EVIC are all be the same ( ? )

If so then the color code of the wiring does NOT matter as long as the pins/function at the EVIC are the SAME....???....????

Can anyone Confirm this for me ?

Along with this website, their website was very good in helping me install my EVIC.

Found it -I missed the note that says "WIRE COLORS MAY VARY"

Wait am I reading the How to thread correctly - that if this is an 05 EVIC to get the TPMS to work, it is not just a matter of getting 4 (or 5) tpms sensors and a Retraining magnet ?
That the 05 that came with TPMS as an option has a different set up - external antenna's in each wheel well?

I did not connect this next EVIC up yet - the dealer has my Liberty right now for a recall - Installing a rear hitch for free :happy107:

I'm confused what EVIC this is then from the provided list does not match any.....,?

Before 2005 the TPMS system was all located in the EVIC and a training magnet was used to locate the sensors. 2005 and after the sensors were monitored thru the wireless module and three antenna were located one each in three of the fender wells. The newer TPMS determines which wheel the sensors are automatically and I think report the temperature of the tire.

I was hoping to add TPMS to my Liberty after adding the 05 Liberty EVIC that has Home link & TPMS (I thought it did - maybe not??). To just get the proper tire sensors and just use the learning magnet (I already have the tire learning magnet, it's a doughnut shaped magnet and goes over/around the tire valve) - that's what I was working on/ looking for what proper sensors to get, when I came across this comment, post #192 of the How to install an EVIC....
So according to this comment, by me adding the 05 EVIC I just got that I think has TPMS, it's not just a matter of adding the tire sensors ? The Liberty would have to have this other module and three wheel well antennas?
