All of a sudden the lights for my Speedo, Tach, and Fuel guages went out. Seems as though the other instrument cluster lights are just fine as is the odometer. Any ideas as to what happened and what I'm looking at to repair? Thanks, 2004 Liberty Limited 4x4, 56K |

That is strange. I am not sure if the cluster are is broken down into individual lights or they are computer led controlled. |

they are individual incandescent bulbs, i think there is more than 8 of them. i would start with a connector and make sure its connected snugly because all bulbs blowing out at the same time seems unrealistic. |

Agreed. I think there are other cases of that on this forum, in fact one last week if I am not mistaken. I am not sure exactly where it is. I'll look. |

2004 Liberty Limited 4x4, 56K Check your fuses. There are 4 or more that help to illuminate the "Cluster". I had the same problem you're describing, and I think I had to replace #9 (yellow - 15? amp). |

I had the same problem you're describing, and I think I had to replace #9 (yellow - 15? amp). Yep, it was a fuse. #9 10amp. The way I figured it out was that the left rear tail light was also out. I had been towing a boat the day before that had a 5 prong connector. Since I only use a 4 prong, and our adapter is a 4 prong, I suspect that it may have been a contributing factor, although I don't really know how. Anyway, it is back working fine, and I greatly appreciate everyone's efforts in helping out. Have a Jeep day. |
