It's a Festivus Miracle!!!

yay! it lives! Glad to hear the good news that engine functions may once again be monitored!

So, for the rest of us here (future reference, just in case) which wire is it that had a bad ground? PICS PICS PICS!!! (please)

Yes! Would like to know where the wire is. Thanks

alright, so what to do if your guages dont work, your speedo freaked out for a little bit, and your gas guage is pegged over... pics were taken with a cell phone, but it should be clear enough to tell what you're looking at..

step 1: park jeep so you can get yourself under it.. just in case..


step 2: find green and black wire coming from guages (should be packed inside a main wire cluster above pedals)


step 3: follow green and black wire to a plug (you cant see it in the back, but it's pretty much right behind the rubber boot in your firewall for your wires that go in/out)


step 4: find the black and orange wire going out the backside of the plug and through the firewall, follow black and orange wire out into the engine bay.. once it gets into the engine bay it goes up into the main wire clusters and towards the passenger side..


step 5: the wire comes out of the cluster just to the left of the engine and goes pretty much straight down


step 6: you should find it in the little gap to the passenger side of the engine down by the dipstick/oil filter... mine was just hanging out down there...


step 7: i pulled the wire up and out of the other group of wires it was tied together with and ran it back towards the drivers side.(it's the black with orange stripe one)


step 8: i grounded wire on the engine block with the main ground..


step 9: enjoy working guages.... and this wonderful pic of my mess of an engine bay..


hope this helps at least a couple people if your guages ever take a crap..
