Check fuse first with a meter ( ohms at fuse in hand or volts live)
i always use volts live, key on. to check both sides of fuse.
this never lies.
fuse that look good can in FACT be bad.

The problem relates to one of the wire connectors going to the back of the instrument cluster. The repair is to remove the instrument cluster and install a new wire connector. For speedometer stopped working:--- It sounds like you probably have a bad speed sensor, should be one in the tranny and 1 in the rear end.Although a speed sensor is a possibility, but if sensors are checked ok then yes,a wiring fault, faulty instrument cluster. It`s a black plug which a horse shoe shaped collar around it on the bottom which is white,it is on the back of the transmission on the left side. it is a plastic sensor with a 2 wire connector. you need a 1? socket or wrench to remove it.----------For fuel gauge not working:----You probably have a poor connection or wiring or ground problem in the electrical circuit leading to the gauge cluster. Poor connection in instrument cluster, or the cluster control module. Check the ground wire connected to the back of instrument cluster.If its shorted or loose.check to see if the black/green (ground wire for gauges)wire is loose or broken off of the ground lug on the passender side of engine behind oil filter if its not broken try removing and cleaning connectors - then reinstalling. pulling instrument cluster and cleaning contacts on connectors also helps.If its due to dirty or loose connection problem.-------- The pink w/black stripe wire which supposedly is the wire between the dash fuel gauge and the in-tank fuel sender.With the key on this wire should have power.If no power to this wire then there is short confirmed.Pull the electrical connector at the tank and the ground wire which attaches to the sender is grounded. ------------ now to remove the instrument cluster,you will need the location of screws.To get that please click on the link below:--- http://technoanswers.blogspot.com/2011/02/1992-jeep-cherokee-sport-instrument.html ----------------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.
