Asked by GuruLWS7F Mar 28, 2019 at 09:05 AM about the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I am an idiot and left my keys in the car in the on position last night to find my
battery dead this morning.  I jumped the vehicle and everything is working well
except the speedometer, gas gauge; basically anything behind the steering
wheel has no function.  The radio, heated seats, and everything else is working
fine.  Any thoughts?

Update: I took it to firestone where they wanted $100 to look behind the panel and diagnose the issue. The technician tested my battery just to make sure it was still viable. Battery was good so I asked him to just detach and reattach the battery to reset everything. Everything came back online and is fully functional again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This just solved the same issue on my vehicle. With the dealership having misdiagnosed a dead battery as a fuel pump issue and spending $3,700 to replace, the vehicle died. After replacing the battery everything worked well except the instrument cluster went out. Disconnected the battery and reconnected. All good!!
