My Airbag light came on and my speedometer and tach shut off. When I down shifted the light went off and the gauges came back. Nothing else on the cluster shut off and my jeep didnt sputter. What does this mean and how do i fix it?

I think it means you're halucinating, and you fix it by not taking anymore drugs...
Seriously, does this phenomenon occur with regularity, or was it an isolated event? -
Its never happened before and it happened twice on sunday. I was driving in fifth gear...the light came on and the gauges shut off. I down shifted and the light went off and the gauges came back. I thought I was senial but my girlfriend saw it also. I dont know you tell me.

This has happened occasionally on our '98 TJ. From what I understand, the problem stems from a loose connector behind the dash. It has only happened to us when we've had the top down for a few weeks. I have the fix procedure printed up at home, but it hasn't happened since I've had the fix...go figure
Good luck with yours, and remember its not that serious of a problem.
It's not the size of your tire, it's how you place it!

Is it possible to get a copy of the fix report? It only happened that one day and hasnt happened since but it would be nice to have just in case.

Mine does the same thing but it's an automatic. The only way I can bring the gauges back is to tap the brakes... mine started out like yours, not very often and now it does it all the time. Still haven't fixed it though... baffled.[color=grey]Ryan[/color]

Well I tore apart the dash which was very easy. Gotta love jeeps. Did the turns on the connectors, and so far so good. It's amazing how something so simple could cause so much trouble.[color=grey]Ryan[/color]
