#187 of 260 tail light, cluster lights, headlight fuses blowing by dtempler Jan 05, 2009 (12:07 pm)
In my 2005 CRD, stepping on the brakes caused my head lights (in low beam) and instrument cluster to glow really bright. This problem just started suddenly while driving and it kept happening until finally the fuses for the driver side tail + front marker light and right front low beam finally blew. Once the fuses blew everything else worked normally again (including cluster lights). When I replace the fuses the lights all work until I start driving and using the brakes, then they blow again.   I haven't started looking for the surge yet but I will once I get a hold of a wiring diagram. Any ideas where to start. I have seen some postings about cluster light and tail light fuses blowing already I'm thinking the problems may be related.

Replying to: dtempler (Jan 05, 2009 12:07 pm) Since you have time to observe 'something changes', this means there is only a bit more than the nominal load on the fuse. I would look for damaged wires in a bundle, "chewed or missing isolation" or eventually a trace of metallic dust/debris near or inside the fuse holder (BCM) where the connectors are plugged. A missing ground connection will make 'more than one' circuits glow without blowing a fuse; this is typical for tail lights. In your case, you seem to have several 'outgoing circuits' connected together.   Open the large trap located underneath the steering (where you hit your knees) and you will see most of the wiring related to the Body Control Module normally accessible when the left door is opened to replace the fuses.

#190 of 260 Warning Lights by jswat Jan 12, 2009 (6:54 am)
Hello Everyone,   I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I have a 2006 Liberty where 3 lights will go on, on the instrument panel (see page 171 of Owners Manual). I will hear a binging noise (3X) & then the ABS light (#9), the ESP/BAS light (#30), & the Electric Stability Program light (#31) will go on. When this happens the car will not accelerate (I was stuck in an intersection this morning & almost got hit. The lights will stay on & the car will accelerate again after about 10 seconds. The lights will all stay on until I bring the car into my dealer to fix the problem. This will be the 4th time in the last 2 years that I have to bring my car into the dealer to have them fix this. All 4 times it has happened when there is snow on the ground. It’s a scary feeling to be stuck like this & I’m wondering if there is some thing that my dealer is missing. Any help would be much appreciated.
#191 of 260 mp3 players with liberty radio by gunnar2 Jan 14, 2009 (3:01 pm)
hi, anyone know if it is possible to add an input for an mp3 player to the liberty radio?? e.g. under the dash with a wire and a plug would be sufficient. this applies to a 2006 crd with a radio/6 cd combination.

Replying to: dtempler (Jan 05, 2009 12:07 pm) Had a similar problem. Mine was caused by the trailer lighting package. Mine was an aftermarket, not factory installed. I replaced the trailer wiring harness and this cleared the problem.
#193 of 260 Driver front marker light, driver tail light, headlight prob by BrandonD1968 Feb 15, 2009 (8:28 pm)
This is my first post on here so I'm hoping for some guidance. My wife has an 04' Liberty. I'm not sure when it started, but the front drivers marker light, driver rear tail light, keep going out, sometimes when I turn the headlights off, they dont actually go off until I turn the knob again. Also the CD player works only occasionally. I'm kinda thnking the problem is in the steering column somewhere.   I havent trouble shot this problem in awhile, but previouly, I know I've replaced fuses. One thing I did notice is that the fuse box diagram in the owners manual DOES NOT reflect the fuse box thats in our Liberty. Some of the ocations of the fuse are different. Has anyone else notice this??   Any help is greatly appreciated.
#194 of 260 2004 Liberty Jeep Won't start by emilyjeep Feb 21, 2009 (7:26 pm)
I started my jeep and the engine died. The light on the dash said no bus and the engine symbol appeared. Prior to this stall, the interior lights flickered. I tried to find information on "all data" - but nothing that made sense. My husband replaced the alternator with a brand new one. The engine will run but all the lights came on along with the no bus code. Then the interior lights died. Any ideas before we take it to the dealership?

Replying to: emilyjeep (Feb 21, 2009 7:26 pm) You need to have the codes read I think to narrow the fault.
#196 of 260 2004 Liberty - ALL LIGHTS GO OUT by wezwe Feb 23, 2009 (11:35 am)
As mentioned in several earlier emails, I too have had my headlights AND all inside lights go out while driving at night, in my 2004 Jeep Liberty. The first occurrence happened three times in a row within minutes. Although brief but scary, just the same. My mechanic mentioned that another Liberty had this problem and was taken to the dealership. In that case, a Modular of some sort, was replaced, costing nearly $1000. I just had this problem happen again, weeks later and am realizing now, that in both instances I was using the Brights On/Off Switch, more frequently than I would normally. I need to test this theory, but am hoping for some additional help and information off this site. With one payment left, I am disappointed to be having an issue.   *Note - a recent inspection did not produce any issues or problems through the computer hook-up.   Wezwe in NY Replies to this message: willi2ch (Jun 16, 2009 9:14 am) wezwe (Jun 16, 2009 9:21 am) willi2ch (Jun 17, 2009 5:57 am) and 1 more...
