Seeing it's a 2000 model, i'd assume it has a electronic speedo. So perhaps a wire was knocked loose while changing the battery. If you can reference a repair book, you can probably find the connectors on the tranny for the speedo, so you can check them. Also, it might help if you can check the engine codes. If the computer isn't getting a signal from the speedo (ie loose wire) it should alert you. As it probably controls shift points, and other engine conditions. I had the same problem with my (RPM and Speedometer) i took the cables of for 2 to 3 mins. And thy are working to this day. GOOD LUCK

Clock keeps reseting in a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited?

If the clock keeps resetting in a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, the problem is probably with the battery. It is quite possible that the battery is going dead after the vehicle is parked, leaving just enough life in it to restart the car. It can also be an alternator problem causing the battery to be drained.

Why does your 2001 jeep Cherokee start but not stay running unless you keep your foot on the gas pedal?

You need a new battery. The same exact problem just happened to me in my 2002 jeep grand cherokee. The computer in the vehicle wont let it run unless it is getting a high amount of voltage from the battery. When you replace the battery, the problem should be fixed.
