SOURCE: 97 Jeep Wrangler Dash Gauges Arent Operating..everything else ok!

I have a 98 Wrangler - same problem. Dash gauges would work, then out (airbag light came on). Then it would work for a week or two than out.
Tried looking at fuses, wires, aftermarket radio problems, etc.
When I pulled the instrument cluster out of the dash, I noticed a lot of goop (lubricant) on one of the cluster plugs. So I wiped it off with a paper towel and now everything works. Maybe too much goop was shorting stuff out? Anyway, I'll know in a couple of months if that was my problem or not assuming my gauges keep working uninterrupted.

You have a bad "clockspring" inside the steering wheel. A bit complex to write it all out and if I forget anything the bag could deploy in your face while changing it out. You can find detailed instructions for that job in both chilton or haynes manuals.

How do i connect a wrangler speedometer to a turbo 350 transmission

Your factory tach won't be accurate because a 350 is an 8 cylinder engine. I put a 350 into a Vega, and my speedo was slightly off because of the differences between the ratios as well. I recommend looking for an aftermarket adapter, or a kit if you can't get the cable to connect into the tranny.

Hazard light button pushed thru housing. Can't turn off hazard lights

REMOVE HAZARD FUSE IT WILL TURN OFF FLASHER UNTIL YOU FIX HAZARD BUTTON.
YOU GOING HAVE TO REMOVE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH CLUSTER TO GET TO HAZARD SWITCH.TURN OFF RADIO FIRST BEFORE REMOVING NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE BECAUSE YOU WILL DISABLE AIRBAGS WHILE WORKING AROUND STEERING WHEEL AND DASH AREA. WAIT 20 MINUTES BEFORE WORKING AROUND DASH AREA AFTER DISCONNECTING NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE.

After driving over road bumps, the airbag light comes on and the speedometer stops working

Inspect all wiring under the dash and hood, check for loose connectors and water intrusion. Should fix it just from you taking each connector apart and putting them back together again.
