I own a 98 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2 door with idiot lights, tach & speedo in instrument panel cluster. What I was wondering if wiring/plugs are the same & has anyone changed over to a gauge style with temp/oil pressure/battery/fuel gauge/tach & speedo with a used unit. Thanks for any responses. Dennis

 

I swapped my idiot lights out for.full guages on my 98. It was a fast and easy swap, just pulled the old one out threw the new one in and it all worked perfect

I cruised Craigslist for someone parting a jeep whose miles were close to mine. I found one within 5k and called that close enough.

If you do, take your dash apart and have it ready to swap right there when you buy it, you can test it to make sure in about 3 minutes

 

the swap will work just fine but if it doesn't bailing wire makes anything work

 

Thanks for the info. I am suprised the mileage is stored in cluster. I know on newer cars mileage is stored on computer. Will look for one close in miles.

 

You can get your mileage documented by the DMV somehow. That way your not limited in your selection.
