Thank you. Very clearly presented. Excellent verbal diction/pronounciation. Keep up the great work. Very professionally done video. Concise and effective. 10+/10, A+

I would think that it would be a simple matter of supplying 12volts to the instrument cluster and checking that the various bulbs are working before reinstalling it. Has anyone tried doing that? And, if so, how did you connect a battery to it?

Thanks so much dude. Awesome.

Just saw your video loved it especially the light check code I liked subscribed shared and saved I have a question I have a 2000 xj sport jeep my instrument cluster light my tail lights and my tag lights don't work I put a fuse in for the tail lights they worked but soon as I turned the jeep off and back on nothing my dash lights where working when I got the jeep but stopped is it all on one one fuse or does the head light switch have anything to do with it ????????? Any info would be awesome p.s. I've just spent a hour or two watching videos and your is the only one I found that was simple to understand informative and didn't want half the video telling me about your life story !!!!!!

Glad you enjoyed the videos. I will try my best to help but electrical problems always get complicated. I suggest get a chiltons or haynes manual the one that has the wiring diagrams in the back. That will help you trace any wires if there is a short. It sounds like from what you described you have a short in the switch for your lights or you have the wrong amp fuse in the block. You may also want a test light or a continuity tester once you know where the wires go to see if you have a break in the wires some place. The example i give often is the wires in the door break a lot on these because they get moved and pinched often. Killing the window switches. The head light switches do go bad sometimes but that should have killed the headlights too. I see you have another comment too, i just haven't gotten that far yet.

....very good video.....

Nice I joked for years that my check engine must have burned out, well it did. The 01 failed emissions yesterday. I wouldn't have taken it in if I knew the light was on. So the state may force it off the road.

You can't correct whatever the issue is and retest? These can pass where i am at and we have strict rules for emissions. Plus the motor has 240k on it.

I don't think it is polluting that much, I only drive it a few thousand miles a year. I grew up with cars from the 70s and 80s, those were pollution machines. What color are the stock bulbs in the XJ instrument cluster? @@SKPcars

@SKPcars

6 ай бұрын

The stock bulbs are clear incandescent lights. I think there is 1 or 2 with amber covers over them. They look yellow on the panel because of the age of the lenses and the type of bulb. My leds are all blue and look purple because of the yellowing.

Thanks mate!

Awesome 👍

If I want to get the Full Time bulb. Do I get a green bulb or is it already painted green in the cluster?

@SKPcars

2 жыл бұрын

None of the bulbs are colored from oem. They are all white bulbs, a few have caps to change the color. I don't remember which ones had that. The color you see is on the plate is the bulb shines through. If you change the color of the bulb it will change the color depending on what it is on. Amber bezel and blue bulb equals kind of green color. Most of my bulbs look kind of purple because of the frost color over the bezel, i put in all blue leds. I hope that helps.

I’m having an issue where I replaced the bulbs with LED’s like you did. I installed the cluster back in but one side doesn’t light up at all and the other on does. So I swapped the LED’s from one side to the other and now the side that wasn’t lit up is now lit but the side that was lit in the beginning is now not lighting up. I ordered some new LED’s thinking maybe I just got bad LED’s. Still the same thing. Wondering if the lamp check could help? Cluster was lighting up just fine with the stock bulbs before I replaced them.

I don't have a great answer without looking at it. I can help troubleshoot though. First i believe the led's are directional you might have to flip them in the black socket part. I had a few not light up right away and that was the issue. Also the part that the socket touches is what completes th circuit for the bulb. If that silver part is worn off it won't light up. Make sure the silver touches the metal part when locked in. I woul guess it is probably the led bulb being backwards though. If that isn't it let me know and i will keep trying to help

All the lights on the cluster fit T5 sockets. On the older years it might not be the same. If the panel looks like this one T5.

@SKPcars

T5 is the size of the socket. The leds just have to fit into a T5 base. They will often sell them together on the sites that sell them. If you mean power output, I don't know what it is.

Pulled mine out and replaced bulbs now non of the bulbs light up anyone had this before ? I used the bulbs recommended here as well

@SKPcars

Possibly 1 of 2 problems. The twist locks aren't making contact with the metal on the board they twist into or the LEDs only work in one direction. You could try flipping them in the twist locks and see if they light up. Less likely, you could have blowns a fuse, especially if the power was on when the dash panel came out. Hopefully that helps.

If the gauges look the same the back should be the same. The same bulbs would fit. I believe the earlier ones take a different bulb. Later models should be the same. It only takes a few mins to pull off the cluster. It might be worth the time to inspect before buying bulbs.
