Re: TJ Gauge wiring question -- Bill ------?
Heh, let's hope that "conductive grease" you recommend isn't really
conductive Dave.
What should really be used for that purpose is called dielectric grease
which is protective/water-proofing but decidedly not conductive at all. :)

You are talking about the two connectors behind the cluster right? The blue
and the black one?

Tried it...no joy...some slight movement of the oil pressure gauge needle,
so there is current getting to it. I wonder if I could have shorted it out
somehow? But all the lights work. I need a better wire diagram, one that
shows the connectors.
Thanks for the help so far!
