TJ Gauge wiring question

Jerry Slaughter · 2005-12-27T18:47:27+00:00

While installing the wiring kit for my hard top I have run into a snag while putting it all back together. It seems that my gauges have stopped working. There is power to the cluster, the warning lights work and the odometer, just the gauges don't.I have gone through and verified all of my connections per the instructions, have checked for blown fuses...nothing. The wiring diagram in my Haynes doesn't help much. Jeep starts and runs fine. Any ideas?J Slaughter99 TJ Sport

FWIW, the button area is exactly where I push the plastic to get mine working again.

Ok...I get the dumba$$ award...apperantly the plugs that go into the back of the IP can be installed up-side-down....I put them back in the dash exactly as I remembered taking them out, guess I just flipped one. Funny how almost all of the other electrical connectors in these darn thigs can only go in one way....

Unfortunately it took a trip to the dealer and a $81 fee to get it right. Now, to get that plug fixed at the hard-top side so I can use the defroster and wiper.....

Thanks for all the help...
