That sounds like a dodgy connection on the rear of the dash console, probably a loss of the 12v supply, get the instrument bezel out and check connections or soldered joints on the circuit boards.

Unless someone else knows better

It's standard. Take the instrument cluster out and treat the connectors with contact spray.

I sometimes find the ignition key does not always click back into its proper position immediately after starting the TJ and the first thing I notice is that the indicators don’t work. A quick fiddle with the key always fixes the problem!

I can’t say I’ve noticed the gauges not working, so it’s probably a completely different problem! :-)

My temperature gauge doesn't seem to work although all others are OK, not sure if it's a common problem but it's sure a pain in the butt...
