Air bag light and speedometer
My '99 XJ's air bag light will come on and the speedometer will quit working randomly. I can either pull the headlight switch out and keep pressure on it for a second or push it in all the way and keep pressure on it for a second and the light goes out and speedometer starts working again. I was going to buy a headlight switch this weekend unless someone thinks it possibly could be a bad plug, wire, etc.? Hate to spend money on the switch and it not fix the problem.

I am having the same issue with my 2000 XJ, but mine sometimes it goes back to normal in few seconds or minutes or sometimes longer like 20-30 min.(airbag goes off and speedometer goes on).
Did you find out what causing it Bro?

Check the plug on the cluster, it's a very common problem. Clean all the contacts good and tweak the connector on the dash side if needed to make sure it's making good contact.
