A company called Buss makes fuses.

 

i no that lol but in the jeep is there somthing called a bus fuse if there is i dont no where it is nor does this fuse exist if some can tell me that would b awsome

 

buss fuse is normally used to discribe old glass fuses...kinda like saying bondo for body filler

no, there are no glass fuses on anything built after 1975 for the most part

 

so wat does that mean then it shuts my gauges when im driving

Common issue on '97+:

Fix usually involves cleaning the gauge cluster contacts and using a dielectric grease when reassembling.

 

The fun part about this problem is if you whack the top of the dash above the gauge cluster the gauges will come back on. The problem is that the connector for the gauge cluster is attached to the back of the firewall, so if the cluster isnt pushed in all the way it looses connection. Very common on 97+ XJ's and TJ's. The fix is to pull the cluster out and clean the connectors and bend the pins in the connectors so they make better contact. On my TJ, I also disconnected the plugs from the firewall so they "floated" behind the cluster and never had anymore problems.

 

My gauges use to die and where it displays the miles it would say no bus. and i found on here somewhere with the same problems and they said that its ussualy a plug loose somewhere behind the dash. So i just give it a couple good wacks and it works again

 

Happens to me too n a lil toe tap does the trick lol I was pretty confused the first time it happened haha
