I kept throwing parts at it, replaced the airbag control module, the TCU, even bought replacement airbags and an instrument cluster from the salvage yard. I removed my instrument cluster, noticed that the recall had been done on the harness, but just for the heck of it I decided to clean the connections on my cluster, reinstalled it, and Presto! That is all it was., Invisible corrosion on the connector pins on the back of the instrument cluster causing the airbag light to come on, and the gauges to die intermittantly. Hopefully this helps somebody down the road.

I had been fighting this on my '98 XJ since I bought it last summer. Removed the cluster, packed the connections on the back with dielectric grease, made sure it was solid when reassembled and haven't had a problem since. About a 20 minute job.
