So this morning I turn on le XJ and the speedometer was dead, basically all the gauges..but then I turned the turn switches on and then they sprung to life. I'm guessing it's a wiring problem. anyone know how to fix it?

 

This happened to me (minus the coming back on using a turn signal), mine was a bad fuse in the engine bay fuse box. Not sure why they would come back on unless you have a bad ground that made contact when the stalk was moved.

 

does the entire cluster have one fuse or is it seperate for each gauge?

 

I believe it was one fuse for the entire cluster.

 

Which fuse was it specifically? And yeah it's wierd, it happened again today and I tried fixing it with the turn signal again but no luck, so I turned off the jeep and started it back up and like a minute just waiting an messing around with the dash it came on again. It probabally is a fuse

 

I lose tach and speedo occasionally. It is the connector in the IP, there is a procedure for cleaning corrosion off it. When it happen again, gently push in on the IP and see it that brings things back on.

 

It's the little blue 15A bottom row far right (sorry, don't know the size). Then again... it may be the one on the bottom row on the left. Just can't remember... but it's one of those two.
