#47 of 205 Re: 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI Evil Electrical Demon [eviljeeptsi] by jhuston Sep 10, 2008 (8:47 am)
Replying to: eviljeeptsi (Aug 13, 2008 7:10 am) I have a 2002 Grand Cherokee that i bought new. It now has 108k miles on it and i have wanted to trade it off for something else but my wife likes the thing. I am tired of working on it! it all started with the power steering system that i pretty much replaced all parts, and then the window regulators. A couple of months ago the windows quit working. I thought maybe i did something when i put in the new regulator in the drivers door, but couldnt find anything. Then the AC quit working, the overhead computer quit working and the lights did funny things. I searched here online and found one posting where someone found a bad wire in the drivers door and tore back into it. Where the wires go through the rubber boot from the drivers door to the door jamb, i found THREE SPLICED WIRES!!! This vehicle has only been worked on or serviced by myself and i know i have never pulled back the rubber boot. The wiring harness must have been spliced from the factory! I soldered in about two inches of new wire and heat shrinked the splices, unhooked the battery to reset the computer, and IT WORKED!!!! I could have spent thousands on diagnostics in a shop and they may never have found the problem!!! I suppose it just took a dumb farmer to find a problem that was built into the vehicle at the factory. This is our second Grand Cherokee and i can honestly say there will not be a third. Good luck Replies to this message: eviljeeptsi (Sep 10, 2008 9:20 am) 4x4jeep (Jul 03, 2009 10:34 pm)

Replying to: jhuston (Sep 10, 2008 8:47 am) That is weird. I noticed several factory spliced wires in the door and under the dash. But they looked like they were still tight though. But that may not be the case, they could be loose I guess. I will take those wires and add new wire to it.   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.

#49 of 205 Thanks to y'all (05 GC electrical) by smithed Sep 11, 2008 (11:08 am)
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)
#50 of 205 2005 grand cherokee cuts off during turns by gulfgirl Sep 16, 2008 (5:16 pm)
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? Replies to this message: heydeno (Jul 06, 2009 9:25 pm)
