Works Wrangler

My 1994 Jeep Wrangler 4cyl speedometer stopped working. tach works. sometimes it works when top off n it rains

If it does start working during wet days, it works fine. If it's not working it is completelly dead. How do I pinpoint if it is at the differential or dash or somewher else? I think it is dash because of it working when top is off and it gets rained on. I had it apart and did not see anything wrong.

There 3 things that can cause this they are Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) ,Wiring or Printed Circuit Board (PCB) To know for sure you need to test the VSS first.

Jeep’s May Sales Up, With Wrangler's Help

With the controversial Chrysler Group acquisition of private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP, it is vital for the Auburn Hills automaker to uplift its standing in the automotive realm.

Earlier, Jeep, Chrysler’s division, reported a significant increase in May sales, thanks to the Wrangler. This is Wrangler’s way of proving its capability to haul an entire division out of the swamp. The rugged and popular two- and four-door sport utility vehicle is coming off its best-ever May while buoying a slumping Jeep division beset by declining sales.

The Wrangler, also called the YJ, TJ, and JK, is a mini SUV that debuted in 1987 but was updated in 1997 and this year. Up until now, the SUV has remained popular and trusted by aficionados. It may not be flaunting Chevy EBC Brakes but its cutting-edge parts and styling contributed to its lasting existence in the industry.

According to Autodata Corp., Jeep sold 12,332 Wranglers in May, and that number is up by 114 percent as compared to the same month last year. For the year, 54,699 Wranglers have been sold - an 85 percent increase compared to last year. Strong Wrangler sales also helped fuel an overall 20 percent May sales increase for Jeep and a 12 percent year-to-date increase compared to last year.

“The Jeep Wrangler is the icon of the brand,” said Chrysler Group spokesman Markus Mainka, adding that no incentives have been offered since the vehicle was redesigned and released last September from Ohio plant.

Based on Autodata figures, the Wrangler accounted for about 29 percent of Jeep’s total May vehicle sales and 27 percent of the division’s 2007 sales to date. Wrangler’s strong showing last month also boosted the Chrysler Group division’s market share of U.S. light vehicles from 2.4 percent to 2.7 percent last month. For 2007, Jeep’s market share increased from 2.6 percent to 3.0 percent.

Industry analyst Alex Rosten said that redesigning the Wrangler was the key to Jeep’s recent success. “Now they can’t make enough of them,” said Rosten, an analyst for EdmundsObserver.com. “It’s always better to expand existing product lines than create a new one.” But the Wrangler’s success contrasts with declining sales for other Jeep products.

According to Autodata, every other Jeep vehicle for which comparative statistics were available posted negative marks, led by the Liberty’s 39 percent sales decline compared with May 2006, and its 28 percent year-to-date decline compared to last year. The Grand Cherokee sales dived 18 percent in May and 20 percent for the year to date, while the Jeep Commander sales dropped 9.7 percent in May and ten percent so far this year.

According to Jeep officials, May sales for the Compass totaled 3,735, while 4,505 Patriots were sold. In 2007, Jeep has sold 18,812 Compass models and 10,336 Patriots. “We develop each vehicle to appeal to a different kind of customer,” said Chrysler spokesman Dan Bodene.

He said that introducing the Compass and the Patriot was an attempt to enter new markets by leveraging the company’s recognizable nameplate. Bodene added that Jeep will work harder to deliver the message about its core products and may offer new incentives.

But Rosten said that might not be enough. He said that the Grand Cherokee is “too old,” while new models like the Compass and the Patriot are “too redundant.” “Jeep has shot itself in the foot by releasing the Patriot and the Compass,” he said. “By doing so, they have cannibalized other products, like the Liberty.”

Jeep canceled Tuesday its scheduled announcement of a new advertising campaign developed by Cutwater, a San Francisco-based advertising agency, due to a scheduling conflict and had nothing to do with the sales numbers.
