I just found the problem with my 87.No guages....took dash apart and cleaned all connections put back together no luck.Started pushing on the fuse for the guages and they all started working....corroded fuse.Cleaned fuse and reinstalled.
Good Luck

The odometer reads no bus could that still be the fuse? I rand the dash check by turning on the key and holding the trip reset button and the gauges test fine. I am tearing into it tonight first the fuse then the removing the gauges again and scraping the connectors as read on a couple of forums.

at least you have gauges, if you had the crumby base package like mine, all you would have is a gas gauge and a speedometer and a couple useless lights that dont work.....wish there was a way to change over mine but oh well lol try the fuse thing, i had lots of corroded fuses when i got my xj

You CAN change the gauges to dial ones, Go to a JY and get the whole dash cluster and the 2 senders (oil and temp) and put them in.Look up "SMTIPPIN" he did it and it works great. Here is his PM url...Tj

Ive heard of guys having problems with their clock springs going out and as a result the gauge cluster went dead, dose your horn still work? if not clock spring is your problem

Bought a used instrument cluster plugged it in and bammo...Gauges work!
