Gauge cluster woes
« on: December 07, 2010, 09:22:10 AM »
My gauge cluster recently quit working after i intalled a new radio. all the warning lights and the guage lights still work but gauges themselves do absolutely nothing. and also the odometer doesnt work. i have checked every damn fuse and wire on the jeep and there is nothing wrong there. this is driving me nuts. can anybody give some advice. btw its a 98 TJ 2.5 mostly stock   :beers:

There is a cable crossing inside the dash that connects the cluster to part of
the harness, it can get enough pressure to pop it out of the cluster connector.

Maybe you messed up the ground somehow when connecting the radio ground(s)?? :confused:
