99 TJ-Airbag light comes on-tach/speedo dies?

Something similar was happening in my '98 XJ. If you smack it a few times, does everything come back online? If so, you may just have a loose connection behind the instrument cluster.

To fix this I took the IC out to get at the 2 (I think?) plugs on the back side of it that connect to receivers in the dash. I ended up twisting the pins on the IC ever so slightly to firm up the connections. It might be a better idea to put just a little solder on them if the metal will take it to avoid breaking something.

Either way, since doing this I haven't had any problems.

Good luck!

They didn't mate up the dash pins with the correct sized plug on the wiring harness so it comes loose. You can thump the dash and make it maybe work for a while, but be careful in the cold, I have heard of cracked dashed from it.

The fix is a new plug that DC has. The other fix is to pull the plug and give every pin a slight twist so they grab the plug again. It sounds suspiciously like a metric/standard mix up, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks, that was it exactly. Good thwack and they all come back online. :) Now if I can find some time in the rediculous work schedule to actually get into the Jeep I'll get it fixed.

Thanks again!
