Weird 1998 TJ electrical problem

Jan 04, 2009 3 Replies

Anyone know what to check if this is happening.... Sometimes the tach and speedo go to zero, and the airbag lite comes on while driving. Then, today when this happened, I put on the right turn signal,and the tach etc came back on. Any idea what to check?



Thanks!


Dash connector. It's a real common problem. This article should help

Just remember to disconnect the battery before working on the connectors.

What he said. Surprised you have not seen this issue already. It was very common on the 98's.

I've been waiting 12 years for it to happen to my '97 TJ.......

I do have one bulb that goes out once in while. I just smack the top of the dash and it comes back on. One day I'll replace all the bulbs at the same time.
