Instrument cluster, behaving eratically
I have a 1997 cherokee limited 4.2 petrol. When I first turn on the ignition all instruments come to life then die but can be brought to life again except the speedo and rev counter by pressing the 'lock' button on the remote key lock.
Is this an earth wire problem?
Where do I start looking and why should pressing 'lock' on remote have this affect?

There are some videos on YouTube to show you how to disassemble. I would try that simple fix first.
