Hello folks and a good day.
I have an odd problem and not quite sure where to start looking first. The problem is normally at a cold start, but sometimes happens at other times as well.
When I start the Jeep, there are days when I have no gauges and/or warning lights. If I activate the turn signal lever then the gauges come to life and function like they normally do. Most often if I travel any distance, park the Jeep for bit then restart, the gauges come to life. There are times when they don't and the turn signal lever trick seems to get them going again.
I'm assuming there's either a short in the steering column or the turn signal assembly is failing. Just not sure where to look first to try and figure it out.
Another thing is, my "airbag" light is always on. Could the two issues be related? Maybe a bad clock spring is causing my problem? I hate to start throwing parts in the thing since my budget doesn't allow for it.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
