Engine runs fine but gauges come on for a second the tach dies after a few seconds and the other gauges don't read correctly when I turn the light on all the gauges die and the turn signal indicator lights both come on and stay on I have checked connections and fuses and still no luck

JUST FOR GIGGLES, HAVE YOUR BATTERY TESTED AT A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE. THIS IS USUALLY A FREE SERVICE. NOTHING LIKE SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED MESSING YOU UP

. SOMETIMES, JUST DISCONNECTING IT MIGHT RESET STUFF

YOU MAY NOT HAVE GOT A GROUND BACK IN PLACE, OR TIGHT

WITHOUT CORRECT NOMENCLATURE AND ENGINE SIZE.I JUST GUESSED, AND GRABBED THIS DIAGRAM OUT OF "MITCHELL I"

THIS ONE IS "INSTRUMENTS" FOR A '99 CHEROKEE LIMITED (CORRECT ME IF I GUESSED WRONG.I HAD 4 CHOICES ON MODEL) SOMETIMES THE "COMMON STUFF" DIAGRAMS ARE THE SAME DIAGRAM AS FOR THE OTHER MODELS

LOOK FOR THE "GROUNDS" IN THE DIAGRAM. NORMALLY A LOCATION IS GIVEN FOR THEM

LEMME KNOW THE DEAL

I WORK. WILL GET BACK WITH YOU WHEN I GET BACK ON. IF YOU SHOULD RESPOND
