‘96 x90 Gauge cluster removal?
#5
recap.
DLR, you have right?
and you do not have the right ignition switch so the start power to the cluster is now wrong.
the DRL brake logic is now wrong. inverting HL, this normal with hand brake wired wrong or missing. The head brake is also (activate DRL switch)
The ABS plays here too if present, Ive no idea what options are on your car.

The cluster is a passive device, unlike my 2000 year and up real jeeps. (2002 is best jeep to own)
The cluster has no BRAIN, no processor and no CAN bus communications systems. unlike all modern cars have for 2 decades.
The cluster has just lamps and meters, all passive devices (aka; Dumb slave devices) a lamp is only a simple Thomas Edison device. (tungsten)

where is it on my 96/97
see drifting around here.

above steering column under dash ! is DRL module.

The tacho is the only electronic device in the head. (it takes ignition pulses and covers them to DC levels , and integrator so the tacho is really a voltmeter)
the other gauges are thermal device,s that move needles with heat, inside (bimetal technology)
the speedo is pure mechanical. and cable and magnetically coupled and odometer gear drive.
The VSS is the only ECU input. from the cluster. (is simple magnet reed switch)
The OTHER VSS is usually a secondary device, VSS2, as the ECU in the car watches the transmission VSS1, until it fails then tries the VSS1, if both are dead you will in fact get VSS errors from the ECU and may cause the ECU to go dumb (go to limphome mode and fuel mileage suffers)
If car is 4speed auto trans, the TCM brain watches them all tool all speed sensors, to shift correctly.
