[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 434228, member: 19498"] Like Macho mentions pull the cluster and you can see how each gauge and the bulb retainers comes out and contacts the copper ribbon. I also ran a second ground off the factory one which lands who knows where and it fixed my dim lights, made the oil pressure gauge and volt gauge read higher than pre cleaning. IMO the gauges are pretty marginal so Im running mechanical after markets which do read different than the factory ones. I'll also add when I bought mine most every dash bulb was burnt out and I attribute it to the PO putting the crappy transparent colored sleeves over the bulbs to make them blue. I think the covers make them so hot they fried. Also as a general statement all the under hood grounds should be checked or cleaned. Cant say Jeeps are known for stellar electrical systems :cool: [/QUOTE]
