Fuse box for 1999 jeep wrangler cluster panel

Cluster panel lights up gauges don't work. Will bounce a little, but not really. Bent connections on back of plugs. Fit tighter . Still doesn't work. Now possibly looking for another fuse?

Service bulletin 08-15-99 deals with erratic cluster operation and involves checking and cleaning the BUS connections and soldering in a new patch harness. Check with local dealer for a copy or may find it online. This will be the most likely cause.

A poor connection at the self docking connections of the cluster. Remove the trim across the top of the intrument panel. Remove the screws at the top of the cluster trim and remove the trim. Remove the cluster screws and cluster. Apply dielectric grease to the self docking connectors of the cluster and reinstall. This should take care of it.

2004 jeep wrangler cluster does not work

stock car, no hacks?
fuses to cluster, there are 2 fuses.
the cluster has a simple self test mode, try that yet?
first?
2004 TJ,
the book is free

read chapter 8J for self test (IIRC push trip button key on)
if that fails 100% the fuses are blown.
the word is "Actuator test" in that chapter.

now the schematic, in chapter 8w, called wiring
page 40
fuse 26 PDC
and fuse 10 cab JB.

the cluster is really a computer.Display system)

when you jack the scan tool in, some power may leak form scan too to the display.

forget the scan tool, for now,

do the self test. first. if that fails, its lost power.

On my 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara M/T My

Try taking the gauge cluster out and cleaning the connectors then apply some dielectric grease. this may help with the speedometer. to remove the gauge cluster, pop off the top vent cover (3 clips), then remove the knee guard under the steering wheel. After that you will see two screws holding down the bottom part of the gauge cluster and 2 more on the top. Hopes this helps!

1998 airbag light comes on and off. when light is on the spedometer and rpm dials go to zero when airbag light goes off they work again. This is not a continous problem but does it off and on.

There is a loose connection (or corrosion) where the instrument cluster attaches to the wiring harness mount. Remove the screws (2) from the dash cover below the steering wheel and remove the panel. Remove the defrost vent cover (just lift carefully, it only snaps into place. Remove the screws around the cluster panel cover and remove the cover. Remove the the instrument cluster (it pulls straight out toward you) and make sure the wires are not corroded. Make sure the wiring harness is firmly attached to the metal bracket that holds them in place. Carefully push the instrument cluster back into place. While firmly holding the cluster in place, install and tightnen the screws that hold the cluster. After tightening, wiggle it and make sure it's solid. Start your Jeep and make sure everything works. Shut jeep off and install the rest of the panels in the reverse order of removal. This should fix your problem. What happens is, the cluster becomes loose, speedo quits working (sometimes all other gauges quit also) and gives an airbag code.

Removed aftermarket radio from 1999 Wrangler, no gauges work now

first, you have to tape any open wires with electrical tape, so they DON"T short anything out again. second, check your gauge fuse.
