How much do you think the dealer will charge to fix something like that. Sounds like they would need to pull the cluster out.

"no bus" on a newer XJ can also mean that his CPS (Crank Position Sensor) has failed if i'm not mistaken...

It could mean a failure in any of the modules onboard. They communicate with each other via bus

The most common reason for no bus is a loose connection behind the instrument cluster. Whack the top of the dash firmly with the palm of your hand. Honest, it really works.
Here is a write-up on how to fix the bad connection - http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=179282 - it for a Wrangler but the Cherokee is similar.
The next most common reason for a no-bus is a bad CPS or a problem with the wires to the CPS. Inspect the CPS wire plug and wires for damaged or broken wires.

Thanks for the help. I had know idea that it is a common problem with clusters on XJ's.
