2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee lights problems

Filed Jul 29, 2023 · Electrical, Lights · CA

The interior lights like dashboard/radio/a.c lights flicker while I'm driving. Its seems like some kind of short cause my the bulb on my right tail light seems to go out a lot more than any other light. When im parked and any door gets opened the dome lights flicker on and off even when I have it to be off when when the doors open. Also my headlights look like moist of some sort, dont see any cracks for that to happen. Due to the moisture or maybe not even related to it but the headlights dont even look like theyre on

I have owned this Jeep since approximately 2010 and is in great condition. This has been a great vehicle and has recently began to give us these issues. 1. Something is definitely wrong with the electrical system. It is available for inspection upon request. 2. Temperature gauge not reading, drivers side rear tail light and front passenger side marker lights do not work. Directional and brake light functions work only. Partial illumination on instrument panel, driver side window switch intermittently works, windshield washer intermittently works, defogger / vent function partially working, 1 horn working and vehicle reliability is the safety issue. 3. My mechanic looked at it and is was NOT surprised about all the issues at once. He mentioned the TIPM having issues as many other of his customers having the same issues. 4. My vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else but my mechanic. 5. There were engine light warning lamps that suddenly came on when the lights started to not work, then the other issues followed. Since this is an electrical issue, the vehicle has a possibility of shutting down while driving, as has happened to others.

I was driving down a busy road and all my warning lights came on at once-ABS, check engine, battery, etc. All my lights started to flicker. My head lights began to get very dimmed so I tried switching my fog lights or high beams on but that only made it worse and the lights completely turned off. My windshield wipers began going very slow making it really hard to see as it was raining. I was able to pull onto a side street. My car felt strange while driving like I wasnt able to accelerate so once I was able to pull off on the side somewhere and get my car in park, all my lights flickered heavily and shut off 1 by 1 and then my car lost all power completely. I had to have my car towed back home bc nothing would start it.

Turn signal for lane change (flash signal) rebounds by itself to signal the opposite direction. At first I thought I was hitting the turn indicator after the "flash" in the correct direction, but it is a faulty device. Drivers see you signal a lane change, as your making the change as indicated, the turn signal (by its self) will signal the other way (it rebounds from the flashed direction to the other direction). Other drivers don't know your intentions, they think you are coming back into the lane you just changed from. Its is dangerous and frustrating. My opinion is a forced recall to replace the turn indication should occur, it is not safe. It may have occurred a few times from a regular turn indicator, where the turn signal handle is fully engaged, but almost always it will occur for the lane change "flash" signal. It is not me hitting indicator.

Vehicle turn signal randomly indicates the wrong direction. Has happened multiple times in vehicle. It appears to affect the right turn signal more than the left. Occasionally it will flash the wrong turn signal once, then it flashes the correct one. However there has been instances where it flashed the wrong direction the entire time the lever was in position. During a visit to dealer for a recall on another part, the service manager informed me that there are new module updates available. However he would not inform me what they fixed, and they would end up costing me $90/ service flash. This should not be legal for the dealers to charge for a safety related update. Provided that the update is for that issue

Driving on highway 91 south check battery light came on then check engine and then all warning lights illuminated. Then speedometer, lights and engine shut off shortly after at 65 MPH. . .very dangerous had to coast to the side of the highway with heavy weekend traffic. Towed jeep to chrysler dealer where they got code b229 and b1a35. Dealer replaced win module(ignition) and new keys. Seems to be running okay at the moment. Had to pay dealer almost $800. To rectify not to mention the towing and rental costs. This item should be recalled and we should be reimbursed!

* while driving 25 MPH, the headlights would not illuminate the road properly. The headlights leveling was not working and the headlights shown about 25 feet infront of the car and would not raise up. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the head light leveling sensor showed a fault code that it had failed but it was not acting up when they checked it out. They said bring it back when it fails constantly. It is now failing constantly. Have not taken it back to the dealer yet.
