Short version of the story, Jeep died on me about week ago. Getting the 'no bus' message on the dash, triple checked the wiring/fuses, cleaned the connections on the back of the instrument cluster and slapped some dielectric grease down. Reseated all the computer connections. Sal was nice enough to let me borrow his scanner at the meeting yesterday and I popped it on today and it gets a link failure which I'm translating into meaning the computer is DOA. Ride is a 99 auto.
I have an appointment at the dealership on Wednesday if I can't get it fixed by then and I have a trip to RC scheduled on Saturday so time is becoming short. If anyone has one I can borrow and potentially buy or any other local sources that I can get today or tomorrow for a decent price it would be appreciated.
