My '98 Jeep is having some problems with the instrument panel.

A few weeks a go I noticed that the air bag light would come on for a short
period of time and then go off. Not to much to worry about, since my airbag
sensor is a recall and I was planning to bring the Jeep in to get that
fixed.

Then about a week later my gauges would just drop off, and then wait a few
seconds and come back on, so I checked all the wiring under the dash and I
can not find any loose wires.

So today on the way to work, my gauges jumped all the way to the right,( ex.
my gas became full, my temp was off the chart, and my battery was all the
way full) then they all just went back to normal.

and it did not happen the entire rest of the way to work.

Any ideas would be very helpful

? not sure on the new dashes...

how about looking at the gage voltage regualtor or perhaps a ground --

do you have the text for your recall (or a Number?), maybe it's related...

Satan,

thanks for the info I will check. Some others also said to check my TBS.

I am going to check it all tomorrow morning.

Thanks
