1) Instrument Cluster not working. (Bought new cluster at junk yard today)
2) Heater core
3) Front right speaker not working. (I have a bada$$ system. But passenger side doesn't work)
4)Automatic locks nit working on passenger door, and both rear doors. Along both windows.

Greatly appreciated guys!

Every single one of those issues is a common problem. I don't feel like searching for them for you right now since it's 4am, but if you go to the write ups section you should be able to find at least a couple of them.
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/fi...cluster-88247/ dunno if your gauge cluster issue is no bus, but if it is... there you go. Since you already have a new cluster you may as well plug it in and see if you have a bad cluster... dash removal is pretty self explanatory. If you can't get it, there are instructions in the no-bus thread.

head over to this thread if you have any questions. Be sure to post your year, model, engine, etc. As much information as you possibly can. Tell them what you've already tried if you've already tried to fix it. Post pictures if necessary. Be detailed.

Also, when searching... it's sometimes easier to use google. In the bar, type site:cherokeeforum.com and then your question

for example:

It's the plugs that plug into the back of the gauge cluster. There are lots of write ups on this same subject. Different fixes but mine does the same thing. Haven't fixed my yet but going to soon. But this has been cover alot. Just google it.
