#235 of 372 Body Control Module vs Low Beam Relay 2005 Jeep Liberty by meason

Sep 30, 2009 (3:27 pm)

Good news. I received conformation from the local Jeep dealer that the circuit does go through the relay then to the fuse panel. 2nd posting did confirm that the relay was on the back side of the panel (of course). Dealer indicated that relay is only $14 and the BCM if required is $275 (rather than the $600 -$800 I previously heard). Jeep parts department also indicated that the BCM comes PRE-programmed. The service manager did not believe this until I told him that the info came from the part department. 2nd posting also confirmed my thoughts of using the high beam relay in the low beam relay slot to perform the initial test on the low beam circuit (relay). If that does not work I will just perform the simple volt test at the relay location on the fuse panel. Thanks for being there to provide positive feed back to confirm some of my ideas of how to solve the problem.

Good for you. I really am skeptical that the BCM comes "pre-programmed". I think what that means is that it comes with a series of DEFAULT settings. That's not going to work for you IMO.

Check the fuse. I think its in number 34 in the driver side dash fuse panel inside the cab.... It's 10 amp fuse that runs the radio, clock, etc...

YoJupiter7 - That is exactly the same problems I have, all lights (inside & out) & radio shut off for a second or two and will do it two or three times in a row. I have a 2004 Liberty Scary to say the least. I've been following this issue on Edmunds, for several months. However, I have come to my own conclusion that I do not have this issue, if I DON'T use my highbeams. Since stopping the use of using my highbeams, I have NOT had the issue, at all. Try it and let me know.
 
I was originally told by an auto mechanic friend that someone with a Liberty had the same problem and had to have a dealer replace a module of some sort, which cost about $1,000. In my delay from spending that kind of money, I came here to see if other Liberty owners are having the same problems.
 
Someone wrote just the other day about a similar problem, but I have yet to really look at their statement. I'm going to look now and will respond if I have any similarities.

Is there some type of fan contol unit or module that controls the electric fan for the radiator and if so where is it located and can i get a new one relatively inexpensively. The service department at Jeep told me it was bad and wanted to charge me 450.00 dollars to fix it.

Hi!
 
Ive been having the same problem with my CD Player motor running when my Jeep is off!
 
I brought it in last week and they were so convinced that it was a faulty radio which they replaced only to have the same problem again. They told me to try out the Jeep and see if the problem persists while they were also waiting for Chrysler to get back to them. I waiting a few days and no call and over the weekend on Sunday my Jeep wouldnt start, the battery seemed drained. I got it boosted and I drove myself over to the dealer this morning and let them have a piece of my mind. Ive only had the Jeep for a few weeks and having these strange issues.
 
They said they would look into the issue and I told them to not call me until it is solved otherwise I will not take the Jeep out of their hands.
 
The whole morning passed and I just got a call from the parts dept. around 2pm advising me that some "module" for my Jeep has arrived. The lady wasnt very helpful on explaining what is was for so I asked her to have a technician call and explain to me what the part is for etc.
 
How did you problem get solved?
 
Thanks!
Gio

Hi,
 
Im writing to you again because after so much online searching, you are the only person who has the same problem as I do with the CD Player motor running when the ignition is off and key is out. Seems this problem drained my battery over the weekend as well.
 
Was this problem every fixed? My Jeep is still at the service center as they are still trying to find the cause.
 
Id really appreciate if you would reply.
 
Thanks in advance!
