No problem. Glad it helped ya out!

Have had similar problems -- in both a Jeep and in a Ford Van. Tip to add to your kit of solutions: After you have cleaned the contact surfaces, coat them lightly with "DeOx" -- which is a product used in the electrical industry for stopping bi-metallic junctions from corroding. Note: I am being VERY specific about the product name; there are other products (NoAlox, and similar alternatives); but, in my experience, DeOx is the only "electrical" product with a high enough "tack" and viscosity, as well as thermal resistance, to work reliably in automotive applications. That said, it works VERY well. I typically use it on Battery Terminals as well. If I couple a good cleaning (I use an old Lisle Post & Terminal cleaner that makes the surfaces mate *perfectly* to each other) with a liberal coating of DeOx on every mating and exposed surface, plus stainless steel bolts and an external cutoff switch, I don't have to touch the terminals again (for cleaning, anyway) for the life of the battery. I presently have one vehicle battery pushing 15 years, and two at 12+ years, with no maintenance other than keeping the water levels right. Again, this only works reliably with DeOx -- everything else I've tried (particularly under the hood) "runs off" when it gets warn. My $0.02 worth (and that's inflation :-) )

This was my exact problem, when I swapped wiring harnesses, in order to add power windows. The incoming harness had been left in moist conditions. Used a fuse that lights up in case of a short. Helped a bunch, to identify the culprit. Damned #9.

Thanks for your help. It was the #9 fuse needed to be cleaned.

I’ve been having an issue with my speedometer, and this video does give me some ideas. I did replace the speed sensor or wiring, but not all the wiring. Thanks for posting this one. Hopefully I can figure this out.

This was exactly what I needed to fix my kid's jeep. Thank you!

Thanks for this awesome video. It really helped me fix it. Do you know what could cause that 15amp fuse to blow out because mine was blown out?

Thanks Brother! Getting ready to purchase a Jeep Wrangler YJ that has this very issue along with the speedometer not working. It lowered the price of the jeep substantially and both seem to be easy fixes thanks to you and KZread videos.

Gna try ur fixes tmrw, thank you! Also my gas gauge went up to full, when I knew it was empty🤔

Great video. Any directions for the installation on the steering wheel horn retainer plate assembly for a 1994 Jeep Wrangler. I cannot locate directions.

Thanks for the tip, that's exactly what was wrong with my jeep.. problem just showed up this morning. Pulled the fuse out cleaned it stuck it back in and it worked

Thanks for the help, awesome.

This is a life saver! I was just thinking about my gauges this morning. I'm doing this as soon as I get home. I hope it works

Hello, I have a CJ5 1958 and I did the change between my old fuel gauge and temp gauge, and put a new gauge from Omix ada, with a new sending unit. The temp gauge is OK but the fuel gauge is showing wrong, I bought other gauge and the problem persist, I think is something with the resistance, What can I do to resolve it?

I have an xj with a very similar problem. 27 year old rig needs constant tlc, but I love it

Great. Hope it works for you.

Rented one last week. I had to change it, because of bad gauges. So, I guess the legacy continues even with new jeeps.

Great explaining what was the problem

I took out fuse #9, put dielectric grease on the contacts, then put the fuse back in. Fixed the problem immediately

Which fuse if any is constant on the box on the drivers side panel?

I appreciate it, I finally got my XJ guages working again... Turns out the 7.5 fuse was blown after all way down in the corner after checking for the 4th time 🤦‍♂️if only I had realized that 2 days ago lol

Thanks! Your channel helps me so much, I haven’t finalized my purchase of my ‘88 yet, but she’s in such good shape but I don’t know anything about cars, so I e been studying to get ahead! What year is your YJ?

Thanks! I'm glad my videos are helpful. This video is on my 94 YJ, but I also have 2 1992 YJ's.

Some of my gauges work except for my oil pressure and my battery gauge. What would that problem be. Would that be the gauge is bad or some wiring?

Thank you!

Checking mine tomorrow, thanks!

Thank you so much!

I know this is a older video but my 92 xj is haven some issues with the tach every now an then the yach will read off some lien normally it will read around 2-2200 on the hiway but some times it reads around 1500 or less an when I’m at idle it does not read at all

I've been pulling my hair out. My #9 fuse has blown and I have a dead short somewhere on my '93 YJ on that circuit. The bad thing is, according to the wiring diagram in the Haynes manual, the supply coming from the #9 goes to a splice with eight other circuits. I have worked on it for days trying to find the shorted wire and have no joy. Any advice to try and find the short circuit?

Since the #9 cavity is different on most vehicles and what circuit that 15 amp fuse protects was not mentioned in your video, it would have been more helpful if you described what circuit that 15 amp fuse protects versus it's cavity # inside the fuse block ??? Eric

97 jeep wrangler: the radio doesn't doesn't display anything and nothing was working on the cluster. Every once in a while they would all work. Then everything went dead for a few weeks but now all my gauges on my cluster work except for the radio, and the digital odometer (all black, doesn't display anything.) The fuses seem to be okay and I even installed another instrument cluster (odometer still doesn't work.) What could the problem be?

How do you fix it if you have good gages and most lights work except speedometer lights

Nice. I have a 2000 Grand that is doing a similar thing. I'll have to check this out.

I have a 92 YJ and my speedometer , odometer , and fuel gauge doesn't work, all my other gauges work perfectly. Any idea what that could be? I have not tried any thing to fix it but I will try all of these methods when I get off today. Thanks for the video

i have a 96 zj and my engine mileage is stuck at 260652, it displays the numbers but not counting when i drive around. What do you think it could be??

thanks a whole lot, my 93 yj is doing the exact same thing just started out of nowhere, checked that fuse and it was loose but I was about to take the cluster out so this may save me some time and headache

It was a pain. Just loosened what dash bolts I could 👍

Thanks for the tips. Need to pull my 91 yj centre cluster out, as the only thing that works properly is the clock. Fuel gauge reads accurately, until you turn the engine on, then it jumps up 1/4 tank higher. The oil pressure, engine temp do nothing, and the voltmeter needle constantly vibrates at +/- 14 volts.

I have a 91 YJ, Canada made... can you tell me if there is an Inertia Cut Off Switch, if so where? I have a ARS relay but it's good... by accident I went to start it and it was in gear and jumped... then took it out of gear started and it ran for a few minutes and stopped... I can't hear the fuel pump load up, all fuses are good... I figure either fuel pump went out or switch tripped... HELP!

@JeepSolid

Boy, that's a tough one. No cut off switch that I know of. I'd start checking battery, starter, ignition. Checking for lose wires as well. Tight battery and starter connections... etc.

Amazon now has new circuit boards for 86 to 90 yjs with clocks. It is wonderful.

Replaced cluster (plastic sheet with copper guides) and cleaned all connections. When opened switch all gauges went 100 and over but temp. Voltage? Over 100%, oil pressure? Same, gas? Same... Didn't even cranked the engine and all gauges but Temp went crazy! Any thoughts?

My Temp and oil pressure gauges just stopped working. All the lights and all the other gauges are fine. Any suggestions? I just put a new circuit board in it as well as new bulbs while I had it apart.

Thank for this video. Electrical can always be tricky and complicated.

Had the same issue intermittently on my 01 Cherokee. It turned out to be a sloppy ignition switch due to too much weight on key ring. As it turns out, your key controls the dash guages and if it's loose in the ignition, you could encounter this problem

Make sure ignition is in the off position. On my 93 the radio will sometimes come on even after I remove the key. I just move the switch a little to make sure its in the off position and the radio goes off.

Thanks brother I have a semi with that issue I took to the dealer and they couldn’t figure it out

I am considering buying a 1998 Jeep XJ model and was told the gauges work about 30% of the time. Was your problem intermittent? Would you know if XJ models have this issue also? I need to determine whether the Jeep is worth buying with a similar easy fix issue or is the Jeep going to need a more involved repair. Anything you can share would be very helpful. Thanks. Phil

good afternoon I have a jeep 1990 Wrangler all the instruments work but the luxes of the dashboard do not dream could you give me a tip?

Finally after years of intermittent gauges off on in my 1998 TJ Sport, that I fixed by flicking o/ off high beams, they stopped working. The dash lights and lighted signals/odometer work, just not the gauges, checked fuses appeared ok, switched out a 10 amps looks OK. Using gauge diagnostic check with odometer button press...., the dam gauges responded!. but nothing when key is turnsed on. So I assume gauge cluster OK. Pulled out cluster added dielectric grease on couplers, still nothing. There appears to be a short, or something with a coupler,,,,any ideas how to fix? desperate in Tampa
