Filed Jun 13, 2019 · Electrical, Lights · 10 miles · CA

Electrical problem causing starting problems, issues with windshield wipers and no lights on dash or headlights/break lights. At times while driving all lights on dashboard will turn off and windshield wipers go on on their own. The headlights and break lights will also not work. The interior lights and radio will still function. Dealership could not find the problem or solution.

The lights intermittently turn on and off either stationary or while driving. The blower motor, flashers, interior lights, horn, and the wipers come on and off intermittently either stationary or while driving. Either the battery needs to be disconnected or the fuse box under the hood needs to be jiggled before it would stop. Scheduled to go in the shop friday for the repair. Oddly enough the dealership has never heard of this problem. This will cause a serious accident or worse if this issue is not resolved.

Headlights will flash 4 times and then turn off. Sometimes I am able to drive it and sometimes not. I have brought to mechanic twice now for that issue. The first time they worked fine for him,even though I had to drive with just fog lights the night before. The second time he put in a new switch but found that wasn't the problem and the lights were working again.. I brought it home and again the lights didn't work. Upon research I have found that a lot of others complain about the same issue and have spent hundreds of dollars on parts it may be, only to continue to have the same problem. I have a vehicle that may or may not work properly and it is very concerning to whether or not the headlights will go out during driving. This is a safety concern and should be addressed immediately.

As the vehicle was travelling at night on a two-lane country road at 35 MPH, the electrical power of the vehicle shut off, including headlights, radio, interior power, ventilation, and engine. The duration of the outage was approximately 10 seconds. This power outage occurred just prior to a curve and caused loss of vision and ABS braking, causing a skid and narrowly missed colliding with a guardrail. The power then came back on, and all systems appeared to return to normal. There appears to be a power distribution problem that affected the operability of the vehicle, creating a hazardous condition. Battery and alternator check out ok, so a power supply problem is not a root cause of the issue.

This problem started in mid auust 2016 and is still going on ....wipers going off n on by themselves, horn blaring, lights blinking on n off, signm=al lights not working at times, jeep wont move forward at times, steering gets hard to manage, check engine light goes of and on all the time..... This happens at anytime or anywhere....can go on for about 2-3 minutes...people start staring as if I am crazy blowing the horn at them and my lights flashing through out. This should definitely be a recalled issue based on the 2007 jeep wrangler having the same issue...for all I know the 2008 jeeps were probably intalled parts from the line from the 2007 jeep wranglers which had problems with the ticm......I am trying to get estimates right now but the tcim part alone costs $425 or mre plus labor and additional for programming......this is ridiculous!!!!! Sometimes it happens when stopped at the light with vehicle on and sometimes when driving..hard to manuever car when driving due to difficult steering

Head lights come on by them selves. Turn signal does not turn off.

While driving or when no one is in the vehicle. The wipers start going, windshield washers start and stop, horn starts blowing, lights start flashing off and on, all dash instruments go off and on and the horn blows intermittently. The door locks engage when the car is sitting with the motor off and no one in the car.

This morning I opened the unlocked front passenger door and the craziness began - doors locked on their own, horn started blaring, headlights tailights and hazards started flashing, front and back windshield wipers started going, windshield washer fluid started shooting out. I attempted to use the remote to unlock the doors - nothing happened. Used the key to manually unlock the door - against the system trying to relock. Then cranked the engine to try and get everything to stop. It did not stop. I turned off the jeep then popped the hood and disconnected the negative terminal. All the craziness stopped. I waited @5 minutes and then reconnected the battery. All the craziness started again. So I pulled the negative and the positive from the terminal hoping to reset the system. I have not reconnected the system to try again. I am worried that even if the craziness doesn't start once I reconnect the battery, if I am driving down the road and it begins it may cause me to wreck. I will send a follow-up email. Thanks.

My jeep will randomly squirt wiper fluid, lock and unlock doors, honk horn, turn off and on headlights, etc. All things that are controlled by the electronic system. I never know when it will happen and it differs each time, but I am worried that it is beginning to happen more frequently and will happen when I am on a highway - it has the potential to be dangerous. Due to all of the other complaints I have seen about it from jeep owners of my year and the recall on previous chrysler's due to the tipm, a recall needs to be issued for these.
