So earlier today my gauges and radio were working just fine, but now neither of them are working. i checked all fuses and they are fine. I took out the gauge cluster and checked the connections and they seemed fine. This sucks and i have no clue what to do about it.

Is it a stock stereo or aftermarket? Did you check for power at the fuse?
If you have a aftermarket radio did they use your cluster lights for power?
Also check your grounds.

Did you check under dash fuses and engine bay fuses?

It could be your ignition switch, my 87 is like that...try turning it on, then quickly toggling it off and on, not killing the engine...

i had a problem like this it ended up being a 15 fuse on the top left corner of my under the dash fuses but mine only blew my cig plug and radio the gauges could be another fuse

yes aftermarket radio, i wired it myself, and nope didnt use cluster lights for power, what grounds?

yep checked all the fuses, also under the dash? mine are in the passenger kick panel

ignition switch isnt even a month old but i tried this and no luck

i had a 15 amp fuse blown in the engine bay and replaced it but still no luck at all

Did you visually check your fuse or did you put a volt/ohm meter on the fuse and test for power on both sides of the fuse. Once, on a 1987 model I owned a Feed wire came off the back of the fuse block taking a couple circuits out at once. Also double check the connection on top of the steering column if a 1999 has them there. On a Cherokee I would find and inspect all grounds especially if you live in the rust belt.

i did not check with a meter but will soon. And what connections on top of the steering will are you talking about?

jonjon99xj

checked fuses, radio is getting power but no luck on fixing it yet

grsmnky1

you said it has power, but what about a ground. It takes both to make it work. I'm not sure if a 99 has connections on top of the steering column, But my 1993 does. Also, did you fix your cluster gauges?

jonjon99xj

nope, i have no clue where the ground for it would be and havent had time to tear apart the whole jeep yet.
