speedometer
So my speedometer doesnt work anymore. Every once in a while it will work but its usually after hitting a big bump or something. could it be the speedometer gear?, Cable? or the actual gauge?

Speed sensor
Check the connections at the speed sensor. Remove wire connection clean the terminals. This would be if you have a late model Cherokee. I don't know about older Cherokees.

Problem solved
so i followed the wires and couldn't find a ground on the block to save my life. so i went back to the sensors and unplugged the connections to see if they were dirty. in the process i discovered the actual sensor was loose on the transfer case. tightened it up and speedo works again
