My 2001 Cherokee was working fine, when suddenly as I was driving I noticed all my dials are dead and the message no bus 5 where my kilometres are usually shown. Also my check engine light and airbag light are on. Any idea what the problem is? Can I still drive the Jeep without immediately fixing this problem?

 

that came up alot in the grand cherokee world on jeepforum or one of those. man, i cannot remember what they said it was. google "no bus 5" and it should take you right to one of the threads about it

 

Several of us have had it happen. It happened to me but only for like a minute. But some where saying it was a loose connection somerwhere under the dash

Mine does it intermittently. Usually goes off on it's own, though. I heard greasing a connection behind the dash with dialectric grease helps keep it from happening. Haven't done it though, so couldn't tell you for sure.
