Speedometer, Cruise & Horn Not working....anybody?
I have a 1995 Cherokee 2WD, Automatic AW4, stock.
My Speedmeter / odometer , Horn and Cruise control are not working. I did not realize at first that the horn and cruise were out. I have replaced the VSS as well as checked the Speedometer Drive Gear, also checked, Cleaned and Greased connectors from VSS to main harness. Also eliminated the dash cluster as the issue by trying a junk yard one.
I am going to double check and clean all grounds.
Any ideas of a common connection or ground point I could have missed? Has anyone else seen this combination of issues?
Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated!

A little update, I have not ordered my clockspring yet, but today after a 6" snow and very cold my horn is working, sounds really sick.... I am guessing the cold has expanded a short and allowing some connection...???

As for the Speedometer, the two connectors to the back of the instrument cluster are known for giving bad connections at times. Remove the cluster, look for build up on the connector tied to the harness and the back of the cluster. Early model TJ's also had this problem and Jeep released a TSB on this as well pertaining to the TJ. Not 100% positive if the TSB carried over to the XJ, but many have the same issues.
