Piggybacked 99 XJ from 2014 DEC. ok. no biggie.
but what car, same? XJ up to 2001?
op my guess he blew fuse 9 or 16
i bet the self test failed with the OP's car.
but lets talk your car, is it a 99 XJ?
the FSM covers this.
here is the full answer here. see instrument pages, read.
http://www.fixkick.com/Jeeps/cluster-hack.htmlthe used head will not work it has the wrong VIN stored inside it
other tricks are here, including ASD stalls. and free books.
http://www.fixkick.com/Jeeps/jeeps.html1999 XJ? facts on head,
pdc fuse 16 blown?
cab fuse 9 blown?
self test fails.?
now the hard wired warn LAMPS just this one year 99
seat belts
and low washer fluid
ABS fail.
brake warn. or hand brake engaged
chime inputs. hard wired.
tURNS (L/r) active and high beam.
illumination (back ground glows) works, hard wired TOO.
DEAD LIST.
all else will be dead if COMMs are lost or fuses out. depends on which fuse is dead, if both blown all warns dead and gauges.
meters all dead. with loss of comm and some warns below.
cel dead.
upshift dead
low fuel dead or stuck (stuck on or off is still dead)
the photo below shows why meters die
when comm LINK dies. or 12v power to head.
I have a 1999 crown victoria to which this problem also just happened. I was wondering what it could be, thats why im looking here. If it helps any of the ones that are posting solutions right when it happened i heard a click under the top of the dashbord, on the left side, like right above where the gas gauge is. im pretty sure the mercury ans my ford are very much the same in a lot of respects. just wonderinfg also where i should start.
Which fuse would be expected to cause this problem ?0.
