Replying to: ratt454ss (Aug 16, 2008 7:24 am) I think the problem with the radio lies in the steering wheel as it has controls on the back of the pillars. The buttons seem like they've been mashed beyond function and don't work when pressed. As for the gauges, I would *GUESS* there is either an electrical short somewhere throughout the vehicle, or the ignition is bad. I would look for articles or posts on that problem elsewhere. Also, if you can find a Haynes' Manual for you Jeep, I would. I will as soon as I finish this post...Good Luck!

Replying to: ratt454ss (Aug 16, 2008 7:24 am) I have been given a list of wires and areas to check that would most likely be the problem for the power outage. So as soon as it quites raining I will be digging in. I will let you know if I fix it. |

| I have a 200 jeep grand cherokee that has gone nuts. first the pcm went bad and we fixed that with no problem. but now everything is nuts. I can't communicate with bcm, windows don't work from any door, overhead console won't display numbers at all, a/c will not turn on, instrument cluster goes crazy every now and then, and sometimes vehicle dies as if you just turned it off. it always restarts but will eventually do it again. any ideas anyone. | |
| I have traced the wiring harness with a fault finder from the condenser to the fuse block with no shorts detected. I have also replaced the TSP and crankshaft sensor. It mostly happens when it's hot outside (above 80). I can't get it to replicate all the time, but when it happens, I can consistently get it to die when I turn on the AC or defrost. Won't stall the engine with the blower on by itself. Changed the relays and checked fuses and it still stalls. I think it's narrowed down to the AC (automatic climate control) head unit or the PCM. Any ideas? | |

Replying to: jhuston (Sep 10, 2008 8:47 am) Thanks for the tip, maybe this will help. Oh yeah, and I hate jeeps now. I do love the 318 V-8 thats in it, so much power and wont get stuck anywhere. But I have had two jeeps now with these strange electrical problems. Sad to say, but I am done with Jeeps after this.

 Thanks to all for the input above: All the panel warning lights were intermittently lighting up for a few seconds, then going back off. Thanks to what I've read here, it was easily fixed by cleaning the battery posts and cable terminals and tightening them down well. (2005 Grand Cherokee 3.7L)

In the last few weeks I have had several incidents of my jeep just turning off when I am in the middle of a turn. I have to put it in neutral, then turn the ignition and it just starts right back up. It has only done this while I am in the act of turning. Luckily it has only occurred when I have been slowing down - like turning into the garage or pulling into a drive thru lane. This issue started right after I had the dealership change out the battery (since I couldn't find the battery at any of the local part stores). Could it be possible that something happened during the battery installation that would cause this or is it just coincidence?
