Same. Red for power, black for ground.

Bit by bit, the auto swap is nearing the end. Start up happened today, which was a huge relief after tracking down a plug that wasn't seated correctly. Thanks to Blaine for being methodical and knowing the possible places to look, along with so much other guidance and assistance.
There is far too much that goes into an auto swap to list much detail here. When we did @rasband's swap last summer, things were still overwhelming, but more straight forward. I'll say the most difficult part on mine has been the amount of old mods I have done that can't live in the same space as all the new auto paraphernalia. So, in addition to an automatic, I have been doing a lot of cleaning up past sins, wiring for added accessories being a significant one. All of it occupies a lot of time and it feels like every step involves addressing something I did a long time ago.
Much of the wiring I have added in the past had been run though the big rubber plug near the gas pedal, never knowing or dreaming that I would be putting the auto shifter cable in there. A whole day was spent moving everything to a new grommetted hole in the firewall behind the glove box. This is Blaine's favorite place to route wires. It is far better and easier than the more common path by the gas pedal. This is mid move before the loom was better organized.

An organizational mistake I made a long time ago was not using different wire colors for each accessory. That along with labels would make trouble shooting much nicer.
Someday in the future, I need to do more to clean up the wiring. A terminal block would be nice, if I could find something that was compact and protected.
When you find one that looks like it belongs under the hood of a vehicle, post it up because so far, I have not found anything I like and I've tried a bunch of them. They are all offensive for one reason or another.
Blue Sea?

I hadn't seen this before. Looks to have some promise.

That looks nice, I would assume it has a hole in the back for a single wire to go into that the screw tightens down on. There is no picture I see of the back side though.
What about Painless Performance? Although it's a little pricey, & not very impressed with under hood mount-.https://www.painlessperformance.com/wc/57040
Do you need all the switches? Do you need relays?

I like this much more so than my cheap fuse block.
Overall, it's a very different Jeep with the automatic. It sounds different. It even starts up differently
