Instrument panel repair

Sounds like it may be time for a new instrument cluster. Either that or I hope you're good with electronic diagnostics, as that's one thing I'm terrible with.
 
I have my instrument panel out and it was pretty easy. Start with the driver side bezel - 4 screws to remove the bezel then the center section. 6 screws to remove the gauge cluster. 5 minutes max to remove it.

Once it's out you'll see a flimsy printed circuit sheet and just clean up every electrical connector for the lights and gauges. That often fixes most problems. A light coating of dielectric grease will protect them.

Your panel may vary.

Do I pull off the circuit sheet?

No, I left the circuit sheet and gauges in place. I cleaned all the light socket fittings with a product DeOxit D5, greased them with bulb grease and replaced everything. As I recall the gauges are held in place by three screw on that back side. These bulbs all worked ok so I kept them but I did change the warning lights to LED's

Newbie here
I've had my 94 yj for 6 months, the gauges have never worked , I assume the circuit board is dust . I've looked on Amazon and eBay and can't find anything for my year .
Any ideas ?
 
go to google and put in the question to youtube on what you want, there is several articles on this matter. good luck
