Harness bells are small bells attached to the harness rope of a riding-horse which will tinkle as the horse rides or moves to warn others of its coming or its whereabouts. In Robert Frost's famous poem Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening we can read: "He gave his harness bells a shake, To ask if there is some mistake." The horse whose animal instincts are more sharp than man's sensed danger in staying in the snow-falling forest for long. So to rouse his master and to ask if there is some mistake, he gave his harness bells a shake which alone could he do, rather than felling his master from his back to rouse him from his revery. The sound of the horse bells were heard distinctly against the sweeping sound of easily flowing wind and down falling snow. The master was roused from his equestrian day dream and leading the horse continued on his journey. Harness bells in Poetry seem to have no other reference or relevance.

Can a bunny wear a collar I am worried we are going to step on him or not know where he is so the purpose is to have a bell on the collar and put it on only when he is running about?

a collar, no, it could choke them. but if you look in your local pet shop, they may have what is called a rabbit harness or a small cat harness, or a guinea pig harness. i use a small cat harness on my rabbits. if it doesn't already have a bell on it, (most of them do) you can buy a little bell and attach it yourself. believe me, it works pretty well. i have never had a case of a stepped on rabbit in my house! lol! :) i hope i helped!

Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1990 Jeep Wrangler 6 cylinder?

The sensor is located at the 12 o'clockposition on top of the bell housing and directly above the flywheel. It is in close quarters to the firewall and takes some patients to disconnect it from the harness and remove the two bolts securing it to the bell housing. A moderate task to accomplish, but it can be done from the top of the engine.
