    Thanks for the video, added to my ever growing playlist of videos for WJ repairs. Just wanted to say, if you are in no rush to get bulbs, order them from rock auto, they cheapest is 34 cents a bulb, and for a price like that, I just bought a ton of them.

    After two years of trying to diagnose a PO455 code (not the gas cap, trust me) I just want to say thank you sir because now I can finally remove that damn check engine light bulb and go on with my damn life.

      Evidently, my stupid MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light), aka, CEL (Check Engine Light) bulb blew. I, too, have been struggling with a host of diagnostic trouble codes, espeically, P0455 & P0442. But somewhere along the way the MIL bulb blew out. In New Jersey you can NOT just yank this bulb and expect to pass inspection. I argued with those techs in our DMV but they won and I lost and still driving my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 months after failing inspection twice. Sucks for me.

      I know this is quite a bit late and I do not know if you still own your jeep or still have the code, but my jeep just went to the shop for a diagnostic and they have said that it is my vapor canister that is what is causing the code to be on, if you still have jeep/code I would possibly look into this option.

    Actually got my instrument cluster out over the weekend to put in the new bulbs. Turns out, it's not the PC74 bulbs but the L00PC121 bulbs for the illumination lights. They're even rarer than the PC74 bulbs. At least I'll now have 10 PC74 bulbs for when I need them, and I know I can easily change out the illumination bulbs when they come in. :-)

  • @U.S.DiversAquaman
    @U.S.DiversAquaman 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The bulbs for the indicators are PC74 and the actual illumination in the gauges are a 103 bulb but the plug in is the same and the only difference of the bulb is the size but an aftermarket led PC74 will work just fine for the illumination. A tip that I figured out 90% through the project is that to release the old bulb you have to squeeze it on the side with pliers to get it out

  • @joelafleur6423

    @jerrym682 Yes, the PC74 bulb is the same for all of the dash panel lights. It's also the same type of light used behind the thermostat/AC controls on the center dash panel. I hope this helps!

Is what you show in this video the fix for that? I'd appreciate any feedback greatly. Thanks!

    • @sooperknob
      @sooperknob  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I no longer have my GC, but as I recall, all of the lights are the same. The amber color is not the bulb, it is only the color of the film used in the cluster to give the amber appearance. I'm pretty sure all bulbs are PC 74 type. Just make sure you install with correct polarity.

  • @chatanugadotorg

  • @Shino2600
    @Shino2600 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am thinking of replacing my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee cluster panel because of the oil pressure gauge constantly going up, then down to 0 after few starts. The sending unit was replaced (bought it from dealer so it's not aftermarket). My only concern is if I buy a cluster from junkyard or aftermarket, will it have a different odometer when it comes up? I saw another post and was told the odometer is stored in the cluster...

      I found some locally at NAPA Auto Parts. You may want to call around at local auto parts shops (O'Reillys, AutoZone, etc.) to see if they have any in store. Just ask for PC74 bulbs!

    I really enjoyed this video immensely. You included every detail to this job and didn't pull they old before-after edit trick on us. You actually unplugged those pesky harnesses and took the panel out live in front of us. But, SUPERKNOB, I'd have added whether it's okay to change the color scheme of your dashboard lights. I'm going with BLUE. That way, anyone familiar with Jeeps will know I altered this per personal customization. Also, to show tech boys in DMV I diligently replaced my old burned out MIL bulb. Also, exactly how many bulbs are there in our cluster panel? I just ordered a 10-pk. Something tells me there are maybe 13 - 15 bulbs in it though. Still will look a lot more interesting I feel.

  • @hayworth111

  • @sooperknob
    @sooperknob  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just going from memory, I think there are about 15 bulbs on the back of the cluster. These are the same bulbs used on the center console to back-light the thermostat controls (fan, heat, etc.). There are also about 5 or 6 on that panel as well. To do the instrument cluster and thermostat panel you'll probably need 20 bulbs or so.

    How many bulbs would you say there are? I found that superbrightleds com has led bulbs made for this, but they're about $1.80/ea. My friend has one of these Jeeps and I find the original lamps in it too dull for me most of the time.

  • @sooperknob
    @sooperknob  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I *think* this is possible, but I'm not entirely sure. It's pretty easy to remove the center console and check. All you need to do is remove the screws at the bottom of the CD-tray (under the center elbow rest), and then the screws under the bottom tray below the radio/thermostat controls. The little tray just lifts out, revealing the screws.
    Once you get the screws out, the entire center piece can be removed. But remember, the teal is the color of the plastic - not the bulbs.

    I can't remember, but it's easily 15-20 for the instrument cluster, and another 5 or more for HVAC. I'd say 30 should be a good amount with a few spares!

    I don't know if I would even bother trying to fix an instrument cluster - just replace it entirely. You can get a used cluster for the 2004 Jeep WJs on eBay for about $50 shipped. Probably cheaper at a local junkyard.
    Follow the video up to 2:07, and then just drop in the replacement unit. :)
