[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 434917, member: 18789"] When you say illum and hazards, what exactly do you mean isn't working? For illum I have no idea what that is (do you mean the gauge illumination?), for hazards I feel like you mean the triangle icon up on the cluster. If so, the triangle never lights up. the windows with the icons are generic and from other Jeeps at the time so there are quite a few unused ones. If by hazards you mean one or both turn signal indicators are not lighting up when you run the hazards, then you may have another issue. As for right turn and seat belt...right turn is just spliced right off the turn signal circuit, so test and see if you have power at the gauge connector. IF you do, then you have a circuit board issue. If you don't, follow the wiring and find the break/corrosion. The seat belt could not be working for several reasons...the circuit runs out to the seat belt buckle and passes through the seat belt buckle back out to ground. When belt is buckled, the circuit is broken so the light won't be lit up. The seat belt light runs through the buzzer on the dash. I don't recall if the buzzer has to be there/operational for the seat belt light to work. Personally, I hated the buzzer and the seat belt light so I disabled both. Threw the buzzer in the trash long ago and removed all the seat belt light wiring. I would agree with above that the circuit boards are rarely problematic especially the 92+ YJ ones. Some testing with a meter should figure out your issues pretty quick. [/QUOTE]
