98 Wrangler wiring issues

[dherman]

I have a 98 Wrangler. When I hit a bump the dashboard gagues, go out. Hit another and they start working. Also my headlights go out on occasion, but come back on as well. Usually hitting a bump will make this happen as well.

Any ideas? Where is the lose plug?

It's a bad connection where the gauge cluster plugs into the wiring harness. Take it apart and slightly bend the pins in the connector for better contact. Apply dialectic grease and reassemble.

Or live with it and hit it on top of the dash to get it to come back on.
