The intermittend wiper control on my 1990 Cherokee has a plug in each end.

A more likly candidate could be the box that controls the warning light for
emission. It is normal to unplug this when the light comes on. Difficult to
reset :-)

But this all depends on year and model I guess. On newer cars I would guess
that this gizmo is computer controlled.

Actually Bill, AMC 'did' use a whole bunch of 'duct tape' when they
built the Jeeps I have seen. It is used on some under dash parts and on
the wiring harness all over in places like the resistor wire's crimp
connectors and stuff.

I thought I was seeing 'custom' wiring until I saw the 3rd or 4th the
same way.

I don't know where the cruise module is on the OP's mystery Jeep, but on
the CJ's they were on the side of the steering column under the dash on
top of the emission maintenance timer box. It could be either of those
maybe but a box size might help and a type of Jeep.....

This was certainly true of the 1978 and 1979 CJ harnesses I pulled apart.
It looked like they used duct tape (applied very haphazardly) when looming
up the harnesses before applying the black stretch wrap.
