Default Jeep Newb, few questions :)

Greetings everyone, I got a new to me 91 cherokee XJ limited 4x4 for $1000 here in Bowling Green, Ky as seen in my avatar. Im not new to forums by any means. Im a DIYer so long as i have the tools and new tools dont cost $150. I've already changed the oil after a good seafoam, replaced the rear hatch hydraulic lifts supports, and changed the valve cover gasket. My quirks that I need help with at the moment are the speedo and odometer only work when they want to, and only together. I have no idea how many miles are really on it. The odo only shows 158K.

Next, my reverse lights dont work, but the bulbs are new. is there a switch somewhere that needs to be replaced?

next on the list is front hub assemblies, brakes and rotors, and fixing my steering wheel that feels like a fat guy has been hanging and swinging off of it for the past 19 years

I appreciate any help or direction you all can give. My other car is a 2000 Chrysler 300M. Love me some mopar.

Well first off Welcome to CF! We are happy to have you here! Secondly I am sure that all of those issues that you are having have been thoroughly discussed in other threads. If you use the search forum in the forums tool bar I am sure you will find all the information you need and then some. After a few minutes of searching I was able to solve mystery's that would have taken hours of troubleshooting otherwise! CF is great and hopefully will be around as long as I'm alive! Feel free to ask if you have questions! Good luck and happy wheelin'!

Welcome to CF.
Regarding your reverse lights, it could be your NSS. NSS rebuild
