i have a grand cherokee 3.1 2000 Turbo Diesel Automatic. right i was driving along the road the other day and everything just completely locked up, braked a couple of times and stopped. engine still running. i could drive it in secound and first, as i had to get it to the side of the road. today i decided to have ago at driving it down the road in "drive" again and it was fine for 200 yards down the road, then it would brake twice and go in to a complete stop (didnt make a noise though). i put it in to 2nd and it went 200 yards down the road and the same kinda happened again, so finally i put it in to 1st and it went quite a distance up the road but it did the same again(same again no noise). reverse works aswell btw. the reason i was tihnkin it was an electrical problem was because the transmission fluid is perfect, it doesnt smell burnt or look black and i thought that if it was something mechanical it just wouldnt drive at all or make a clunking noise. ive done the trick of turning the ignition on and off 4 times and it come up saying "done" meaning there is nothing wrong with the car :S btw ive also had a problem with starting it, i can turn the key to turn the radio on but its takes a couple of goes to turn the engine on as it just make a clunking noise. also aircon hasnt worked and one of the electric seats doesnt work. |

| My 2006 JGC Limited has an intermittent problem where the headlights flash on and off numerous times when the switch is in the "Autobeam OFF" position. So while the headlights turn off, the dash lights return to the day time brightness setting and blind you. It may be that I can temporarily halt the problem by turning the switch to "Autobeam ON" and back. Has anyone out there seen this problem? Thanks! | |

I had the problem with the dome lights staying on and the driver's side panel not working. I fixed that by splicing the BLACK wire back together in the harness. Now......When I try to start my car, the starter kicks over then stops and all of the electronics die in the car. No lights or anything. Can't restart it. This happened a few times to me but tonight it finally completely stopped. I went hunting quite a ways out of town and came back to the car and it locked me out!!!! No response from the controller. No lights. The gauges were going crazy on the dash board. I couldn't manually open the door because the keyhole was locked up. Needless to say, I had quite a long, pissed off walk. thanks!

Replying to: seymop (Nov 22, 2009 5:44 pm) Wow, that's bad. I never had those symtoms, however, my previous Jeep Cherokee had the problem where the gauges went crazy (I sold it soon). Are you located in a cold area? My situation in message #205 seems to happen when it is cold outside. What year/model is your Jeep? Thanks, DJ
