Key gauge lights up and stays lit while other gauge lights go off/on intermittently. Jeep seemingly runs fine, power windows work, radio works. What to do!

If it is a warning light shaped like a door key, it could be the warning light for the security system. Its telling you there is a problem with the chip in your key or the sensor in the lock cylinder.
Your owner's manual should show all of the warning lights and what they mean.

SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - problem with power windows/locks

This seems to be the affects of a bad dinamo charging your battery . If you take a appart the dinamo you should fine a part called in mechanic terms "the bones" they look like 2 black magnets with a wire coming out of them . They are not expencive and you should not change your dinamo untill you try this first a car dinamo is very expencive .

You need to take the jeep to a dealer or a good mechanic who can retreive the codes out of the computer. You may have a module problem but I will not guess without knowing the codes.

Wont stay running

When the SKIM key light on the instrument panel stays on as well, then its most probably a problem with a shorted PCI data bus. Fuel gauge, tacho meter and power windows also stop working then. Many times the problem is water ingress in connector C200 up in the passengers footwell area.

2004 olds alero 3400 eng.turn on key and all warning lights and gauges come up,then all goes off after 3 seconds,starter will not work,can start by jumping across starter and runs fine and shifts fine

Check for power at the switch wire when someone turns the key to start. I would say there is a break in the circuit of the thin wire between the starter & the ignition switch

2000 XJ dash lights

From your description it would appear you have an intermittent short to ground on the dash light power circuit.
It may be as simple as wire insulation being cut on a sharp metal edge, or the supply being shorted by a loose metallic object (such as a nut or washer) in a connected assembly.
Check any external wiring for damage - such as connection to foglights etc.
There is no easy fix here -just persistence.
