That or you can reset it by just disconnecting the battery for 1-2 minutes.

I don't remember which year your Jeep is, but if it is later than 1996, it
will be OBD II compliant, this means you can reset the code with a tool that
plugs into a data port that is provided along the bottom edge of the dash
board, in ther vicinity of your left leg as you are driving. Or, you can
unplug the battery for a couple of minutes as Jerry suggested.

Actually Dave, if you look closely at the case of the tcase, you will see
that there are numbersd molded in, and there is a mark on the speedo gear
mounting thingie that you align to the numbers molded into the case. Now
that you have experience the problem caused by your error, you will see what
I am talking about. Without having the problem, you could easily miss the
directions.

Yep.. On the way home from work, which would have been the 3rd engine
cycle since the speedo-gear was working, the check-engine light was not
lit. It's nice to have a dark instrument panel again.. Thanks for all
the help!

It's a 98 4.0 liter btw...
