My 98 Cherokee is similar. The power windows used to work intermittently. Now they don't work at all (none of the switches or windows). A few times the gages have all registered zero. I would tap on the clear plastic cover on the dash (the one over all the gages and speedometer), and then the gages would start registering again. Weird.

This could take some time to pin down so stick with me and we'll get-er-done! First...even though the battery is charged, it does not rule out that you could have a dead cell. Did you have the battery tested? Contact: [email protected]
Dirty Power and Ground connections. Working from the Battery, disconnect and clean all joints, along the Harness to the Main power box, and do the same in there.
It is a Ball acher, but it will fix the problem.

The common problem with the dashes on the Jeep is contacts. Remove the cluster and try cleaning the electrical contacts with a Q-tip and alcohol replace cluster and try again.
Generally this is caused by a bad connection in the gauge plugs where the gauges connect to the harness. To verify, give the top of the dash a good smack(high tech stuff) and see if they come back on. If so, you will need to remove gauges and clean the terminal connections (sometimes bedning them slightly will also give a better connection but don't get crazy with that or you won't be able to plug them back in.
The diode in the altenator is starting to go out.
I would check the belt to make sure correct tension and check the battery . The battery could be starting to go out , The battery might not be able to hold a charge anymore .
