This is pertaining to my 1999 XJ.
I've done a few diagnostics and I want to know if I'm on the right track...
My start/run fuse is good. Are there any more fuses that I need to check? I couldn't find any other ones blown in the kick panel or under the hood. My dash lights, turn signals, and high beam indicator light work. I can't remember but I think my ebrake and four wheel drive indicators are out. Everything else is functioning just fine.
I cleaned my connectors and that didn't fix anything. I tried to follow the wires back and find some bad grounds and was unable to find the grounds at all, so I was unable to check that completely. There are no disconnected wires near the kick panel fuse block. Can someone tell me where the grounds are and if they are screwed in or a plug connector?
I probed all the cavities for voltage/resistance in the connectors that attach to the guage panel while the XJ ws running. Here's what I got, pardon the shitty diagram. Open is when I was not able to detect voltage or resistence. Most likely open switches?
Nearest the door:
---------------------
|1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10|
---------------------
1) 1.4 Ohms
2) 3.25 Ohms
3) .63 Ohms
4) 14V
5) 2.4 Ohms
6) Open
7) Open
8) 9-14v depending on where the dimmer was positioned
9) Open
10) 1 Ohm
Nearest the radio:
---------------------
|1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10|
---------------------
1) 1.9 Ohms
2) Open
3) 2.3 Ohms
4) 1.5 Ohms
5) 15.1 Ohms
6) Open/22 ohms (alternating--probably seat belt light)
7) Open
8) 13.8V
9) Open
10) Open
Right now I'm leaning toward the cluster being bad, unless someone can direct me to where a fuse might be blown or a ground might be weak. I had no corrosion on my circuits and none of my door speakers have gone bad and all my wiring works, so I'm somewhat confident that the wiring in my Heep is pretty reliable.
