95 Cherokee broken Spedo and Gas Guage, STILL, PLEASE HELP!!
 

Hello All,

Thanks for the earlier replies. Here is what we have done so far:

Replaced the three-wire 'speed-sensor' unit on the side of the Automatic
Transmission.

Removed and re-soldered the connector attached to the flexible circuit card
behind the dash.

Still, neither the Speedo/odo or gas gauge is working.

One observation, there are four thin leads that protrude from the un-seeable
side of the flexible circuit card. Is there a component like a voltage
regulator or such that is behind there? If so, is that a part that I can
replace? I did re-solder the four leads.

Please help!

Best regards,

RG

Hello All,

PROBLEM SOLVED! The Gauges needed a ground! I connected a wire from the
back of the instrument/gauge assembly from the 'LG' screw on the foil CB. I
ran the other end of the wire to the chassis. Problem fixed!

Best regards,

RG

Many times the engine ground strap is the culprit, and Mike's the
first to tell us:

Thanks for the reply, but wouldn't there be more issues with a defective
engine ground strap then just the gauges not working? Everything else on
the Jeep worked just fine. I don't know. I am new to this Jeep stuff.

Re: 95 Cherokee broken Spedo and Gas Guage, STILL, PLEASE HELP!!
 

Older Jeeps have a tendency to develop punky grounds, especially up here
in the rust belt so I am usually one of the first to suggest checking
out the grounds.

Now the new TJ's come with already bad dash grounds from the factory, so
I get to tell even 'more' people to check the grounds! LOL!
