hi mat
 
did you manage to fix your problem?
 
I am having similar problem on my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2000yr. When you open or lock the car the hazardlights dont flash, once inside the lights dont turn off, the windows dont work, the memory seats dont work because it says the belt is on but its not, the belt light stays on.
 
if you could help me please let me know
 
thanks

Brand new 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo- already with electrical problem!!! by erider

After only purchasing Toyota cars for many years, and on an "impulse buy" deciding on a Jeep since they gave me such a great deal, I am already regretting the choice. I love the Jeep- the way it drives and handles, and it fits me like a glove. However, I am wondering if this is a quality vehicle and that if I am already having a problem now, what's it gonna be like in five years??
Here's the problem: the rear liftgate door usually doesn't respond to the lock/unlock key. I went four days straight with being unable to get the liftgate to lock, even though all the other doors work fine. I would stand by the liftgate pressing the "lock" mode on the remote key fifty times- no response. When the liftgate would lock on rare occasion, then it would go days without my being able to UNLOCK it!! Any thief could have opened that rear door, crawled in and taken anything he wanted!! I took it back to the dealer only a WEEK after I bought it and had the service department look at it. they replaced the actuator and the latch, thinking that would fix it, but no.... I now have another appointment with the Service department in a few days. My hunch is that either this is a simple problem , i.e. a wire that needs adjusting, or it's a complex electrical problem that might never be fixed. if it's the latter, I'm wondering what my protections/rights are as a consumer...anyone have advice on this?? I have only had the car for a month! No brand new car should have this problem.

I found spliced and broken wires where the drivers door hinges. I fought electrical problems on my 02 for a while until i found and fixed this problem. Also, when my battery gets to be a couple of years old, it starts doing strange things. The first place id look is in the rubber boot from the drivers door to the door jamb and check the integrity of the wires there. Good luck!

Well, after two days of it being at the shop, and checking just about every wiring configuration in the vehicle, it was determined that the junction box, which contains a lot of wiring, was defective somehow. this vehicle never should have left the factory floor with that defect- I guess the person in charge of quality assurance was out that day!
thanks for the reply Farooq. but it sounds like you know a lot more about electrical problems than I do. Electrical problems can be hard to diagnose. I know some European models are notorious for electrical problems. anyway, the problem is fixed and I hope to enjoy my new Jeep for many years.

2005 Cherokee electrical/transmission problem by duckitbad

My Jeep, a 2005 5.7 liter with 39,000 miles just got stuck in 3rd gear (5 speed automatic) as I was cruising at 65MPH while in Drive. The vehicle has the 8/4 gas saving feature. The dealer has had it since yesterday morning and says it may take yet another couple of days to figure out the problem, and that the problem is probably electrical. I put a new battery in one month ago. Any ideas, relay of similar experience, would be welcomed.
