Gauges Stopped Working

deboy922 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:47 pm

The gauges (speedometer, tachometer, fuel, and temperature) suddenly stopped working on my 2003 with 60,000 miles. The digital odometer does not change (it is stuck at 58,674). The EVIC displays dashes for "Miles to Service" and "Trip Miles", but the "Miles to Empty" seems to be working. The Jeep runs fine.

Any ideas on what to check?

Thanks.

Edit - A couple of more symptoms...the backlight behind the guages does not work, and the chime for when the headlights are left on does not work.

I had this happen on my '98 TJ and saw it on another TJ once, needs a whole new module, don't remember exactally what it was called it was about 5 yrs ago, was a couple hundred. Ran fine but no gagues, only a CEL (due to no input/feedback thru gagues) and odometer.

The odometer is fozen and stays displayed all of the time, even when the Jeep is turned off and the key is out of the ignition.

This would be a great "problem" to have if this were a lease.

On Thursday I went to work and left my lights on (the reminder-chime was not working). So when I try and leave from work, the battery was dead. I had a friend give me a jump, and presto the gauges are now working. The power-cycle must have reset something. Time will tell if the problem will come back. But for now, all is well.
