New-to-me Cher-o-kee questions
 

Sorry bout the title.i have a an 85 XJ. It seems to run "ok" but i need to fix a few things on it. So i have 3 Questions. Lights on dash work but Gas Gauge,MPH and ODO dont work. Are these all part of a single cable? Also the person that had it before disconnected the 4x4. They from my understanding just disconnected the cable from the lever. is it just a matter of finding the cable and then re attaching via bolt or? there is a cable hanging down underneath i think its the speedo cable..i hope lol. i can upload pics if needed any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to CF...Yes pic's would be helpful if its possible also the 4 wheel drive should be a vacuum line running to the front rear in that year jeep. I am almost sure that all jeeps have linkage connecting the shifter to the Transfer case so that may be the speedo cable...Tj

You need to get a shop manual and start to locate things. There should not be any cables hanging down so you need to trace where they go and repair as needed. Once that is done you will have a better idea whether or not things are working! Good Luck...

Ok so i took a few pictuers. In Fig.A im assuming this is the whole that the speedo goes into right? Fig.B this is the plug that i think came out of it. can i just detach the tip? Fig C. this is the transfer case linkage i cant seem to find where it attaches. Fig.D This is an area down from the linkage the silver bolt is just sitting in the slot the wire is holding it in place, any ideas??

Alright so i seemed to have figuerd out the linkage as i found the lever under the seat :glare: i just need the bolt to attach it right?

Also i think i have the speedo figured out. i just need to remove the metal end and attach a new one.

The gas gauge also does not work. Where would i start for that?
