alright will do and ty

 

had a totally separate problem and needed to change my computer and now my oil gauge isn't working. do you think this may help that situation. my Jeep is a 97 and the computer came out of a 99?

 

rickythedragon...The problem I address in this post is ALL guages not working along with "NO BUS" on the odometer and the airbag light on. I think you may have an issue with the wrong year computer.

 

That's what I was thinking too. For now I believe I will just install a mechanical gauge to monitor my oil pressure till I can find another computer at the junk yard for a 97.

 

Posted a writeup on this same issue here.

Best of luck.

2001xjweekender.....that ia exactally what I did. I wish I had found your write up before I spent HOURS and HOURS messing with other things! The "Search" feature on these boards sucks at best!

 

I did all this and it didn't work. My problem ended up being my computer. It was a new one but it was programmed wrong

 

I have been having this problem of my gauges dropping since I bought my xj about 6 months ago. A good smack of the dash offten temporarily fixes the problem lol, but this seems like a better fix. however, not saying its not there, but I haven't noticed the "NO BUS" readout.

 

Then your problem probably is your connection and this thread would probably fix your problem.

 

Is there a chance of just cleaning these connectors , or is it just better to replace them ? Mine just went out today , however the airbag light has been on for at least a year . 1999 Cherokee Sport 4.0, auto, 4x4 .
Are there a part numbers or should I search on here for them .

Thanks ahead for this knowledge .

There. Is a great writeup on here with pictures and part #'s
Helps a bunch

 

Ok finally messed with it today , all I did was removed the gauge pod , inspected and replaced the pod and while replacing I just wiggled it around and unplugged it a couple of times and replaced wiggling some more with a generous amount of dielectric grease on the pins .
The grease I used says it helps prevent corrosion .
So far so good , about twenty miles and still working , just have to wait now and see how long it will last .
