The jeep's horn, wiper blades, wiper fluid and headlights go off by themselves even when the key is not in the ignition. Then the jeep began cutting off while driving in the middle of rush hour traffic.

My wrangler headlights stoped working one morning. Turn the headlight switch on for them to flicker on and off a few times over 5 seconds then they stay off all together. Took it to the dealership they scanned it told me it was showing these 4 codes. B162f-right low beam control circuit low b162c-left low beam control circuit high b162b-left low beam control circuit low b1630-right low beam control circuit high they checked over everything and said that it was a faulty tipm.

Getting ready to go to work I open my driver side door and the horn starts blowing, wiper fluid squirting continuously, windshield wipers constantly going that have now scratched my hood, internal lights blinking, radiator/coolant fan going, all lights on the dash come on, the headlights flashing as they please, the airbag light stays on, and heat stops working. I had to get my boyfriend to disconnect my horn because at 7 a.m. It is very embarrassing to wake the neighbors! I had to disconnect the battery. Now I can sometimes get it to stop by slapping the fuse box cover. At times my car won't shut off with the key taken out so I have to let it jump in first gear while pushing the brake. The first time this happened to me I almost rear ended a car in the daycare parking lot as we all parallel park to get to the front door. This happens whenever it wants to and now that it is getting darker earlier I have to worry about transporting my child with no headlights at night because I have no other means of transportation which this happened to me on the way to pick her up last night 11/12/14. The issue is happening more often in colder weather and is not safe at all to have no headlights working at night because of the electrical issues going on. I took the car to the chrysler/dodge/jeep dealership and had to wait almost two weeks before they could look at it. They could not find the issue because when they checked everything it did not do anything but act normal for them. I see this being a common issue with wranglers lately and am waiting for the answer on the petition and investigation before I decide if this is worth fixing and keeping. Not safe at all!

I have a 2008 jeep wrangler 4x4. In this month of december 2012 my jeeps headlights, horn, windshield wipers just started turning on for no reason.the engine will stall at speeds and sometimes there is no throttle response. Have called my local jeep dealer and chrysler..they told me there was no recall for this.I have searched this on the internet and there are hundreds of complaints about the same problem...as a gather from the complains its due to a faulty tipm. This is a major safety hazard in my view and I would like to have something done about it.you are my only hope.

All electronic failure clusters lights up on dash. Wipers and headlights come on and cannot be switched off. Indicator lamps, speedometer and RPM are none responsive. Alarm sounds repeatedly until the problem self corrects. All other electrical functions such as radio shuts down. The problem does not affect the motor.
