ok so i need some help. i am helping a friend work on his new truck, a 98 xj limited, auto 4.0l. it has some strange problems that i searched and couldnt find an answer. not sure if they are related, they seem to be mostly electrical.
1. the odometer, speedo, volts, temp, oil and gas gauges all dont work. the oil gauge tweeks a little bit when you start it up but that is all. some of the lights on the cluster dont work but most do. the one i notice is the check engine light doesnt come on. we tried wigling the whole gauge cluster, didnt work. tried taking the cluster out and tugging on the harness a little, no good.
2. i hooked it up to the scanner and it gave me 2 codes, no check engine light though. the codes are p1494 - manufacturer control auxiliary emission control and p1899 - manufacturer control transmission.
3. wouldnt crank at first, realized that the nss acts up and you have to wiggle the shifter.
4. the turn signals werent working and we realized if you messed with the 4 way flasher switch then they would work.
so im not sure if these are related or not, the biggest problems are the first 2. it wont pass inspection as it is so any help would be appreciated.
