2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee electrical problems

Filed Jul 18, 2022 · Electrical, Engine · NC

After sending my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Pugh’s Service Center in Greenville, NC, in December 2018, because it would turnover, but not start. They replaced the ECM, but had to be taken to the local Jeep dealership for an OE ECM replacement and a crankshaft sensor, in order to get it to crank. Upon getting my Jeep back in March 2019, it ran fine for a few days. Then I went to start it, and it started, but after a few seconds, all of the GAUGES stopped working and all of the WARNING LIGHTS came on. I contacted both Pugh’s and the Jeep dealership, telling me I should just bring it in, to run more diagnostics. The Jeep only has 94,000 miles, and I spent about what the vehicle was worth upon getting it back in March 2019; so I’ve been hesitant on taking it back. There are many other people who have similar issues with the instrument panel gauges and warning lights, from the information I’ve researched online; with no indications of the problem being resolved.

Dashboard lights and alarms simultaneously blink on and off. Seems to be a short circuit in the wiring. Gas tank levels off at "empty", and the fuel gauge spins 180 degrees so that it is caught under the "resting stick" at 0, therefore, no longer reading the gauge. This happens while in motion and while parked.

Vehicle stalls intermittently, usually at the worst possible time. I understand that this is large problem and affects many chrysler models. Forums have page after page of people with the same problem. It is the electrical connection to the PCM. Connectors become loose and cause vehicle to stall randomly. It is a manufacturer issue! Is someone going to have to die to get this problem resolved. I have put thousands of dollars into this vehicle and no resolution!

Car's instrument panel went wild w hen I started the car.every warning light came on and stayed on. Gauges worked immediately after starting the car, but slowly lost power to keep them on, and they went to the "key off" position. Nothing on the drivers armrest worked, no seat auto positioner, no window open, shut, or lock. Information panel overhead went dead (blank).
