Help!! Electrical problem!!
Hello
I have a '97 wrangler, with electrical problems. This afternoon, the
instrument cluster, radio, and interior lights stopped working. The
headlights, turn signals, heater blower, all exterior lights, windshield
wipers, work fine. The instrument cluster lights up, and the idiot lights
seem to work, but the gauges are all dead. The odometer is also blank
(digital). Even though I could not figure out a relationship between the
cluster and the radio, I removed the cluster and slightly bent the pins, but
no change. I checked every related fuse on the fuse panel and under the
hood in the power panel, with no luck. I also checked fuses I thought were
unrelated.. all look good. I switched the asd and the fuel pump relays,
and everything is still the same. The jeep will crank and run. I am at a
loss here. Something similar happened about a month ago, but everything
started working ok and has been fine until now. I looked for ground wires
under the dash, and really couldn't find anything to check. HELP!

Re: Help!! Electrical problem!!
Thanks for the help Bill, but I have already tried this. I have bent the
pins as described and reassembled, but everything is still the same. Any
other ideas?
thanks
