Hey guys,

Read the whole story if you have time or skip it and go down to see the problems:

Long Story and my problems:
I purchased my Jeep yesterday. It's 2008 at 58K (Km).

While I was driving home from the dealer, everything was working fine, the fog lights, all indicators, wipers and so on.

When I went out again at night and when I turned the signal, it started flashing really fast and I thought maybe one of the bulbs blew. I pulled over and checked.

Both the front indicators didn't work. Sometimes the flasher was clicking faster sometimes it was normal.

Then I got home to see what was wrong. I put on the 4-way flasher and only the rear signals were blinking. I switched on the fog lights, they didn't turn on.

Then I locked the car. You know the car honks when you lock it, Well it didn't honk. The marker lights didn't come one when I locked the car.

Next morning I saw that when I turned on the signal, both signals at the front were blinking, but their lights were very very dim. Other than this there was no change.

I went to the guy who sold me the car, He sent me to the person who did the safety. That guy who did the safety didn't know jack doo doo. He removed the wheel and He took out the bulb from passenger side signal light and tried to fit another bulb. He didn't have the proper bulb so he put everything back together and told me to go to his professional electrician.

I went to the electrician he told me to come back tomorrow since he didn't have time today. I said he should at least look at the problem. After looking he said he might have to rewire the Fcking lights. He was gonna take wires from rear signals and connect them to front ones. I told him to fck off, since there was no way he was a professional electrician, if that was his solution.

So I was on the highway driving home, I tried to put on cruise control, Well the cruise didn't work. And then it started raining. I turned on the wipers and nothing. While trying to turn on the wipers, I then accident sprayed the windshield and that was even worse, so now it was raining with no wipers and soapy water on my windshield.

Now I'm not going back to the stupid electrician tomorrow, because I don't want to put in wires since it's a 2008 and only 58K. And that wont solve all the other problems.


So as of now here are the problems:

Just the problems:


Fog light- Don't work
Signals (FRONT)- Turn on one side, both signals come on, but are very very dim
Marker Lights- Don't work. you know the setting before low-beam
Car Lock- When car is locked by remote, the lights don't flash and there is no sound. The car locks and unlocks fine.
Wipers (Front)- Don't work. The spray works, but not the wipers
Cruise Control- Doesn't work. The light doesn't even come on in the instrument panel.
EDIT: The Horn doesn't work either

Mate that sounds like the royal run around!
First thing i'd do is check all fuses, Pull them out and push em back in hard. Then check the earth on the battery is not corroded or dirty, a faulty earth may cause some strange things. ,
failing that, I'd be taking it to the dealer and telling them its their problem, fix it or you want your money back. Make it their problem. Surely this fits under statutory warranty.
cheers

He's a small time used car dealer. And He sent me to the mechanic, who, as you read above, is an idiot. So his response was he'll try to get all these things working, but he wont fix the problems, just bypass them, put in new wires, borrow connections from somewhere else. And I doubt he'll be able to fix all those problems.

I asked the dealer to let me take it to Chrysler dealership or somewhere I trust the mechanic, he said no, since might charge him extra or for things I might not need.

But I'll try to sort all that out.
-----------------------------------

I would like to know what the internet thinks of these problems. You guys might have had something similar or know what I should look at.

I also took the wiper and exterior lights fuse out and reinserted it. Nothing.

possibly clock spring and bad light stalk.

do the airbag lights work like they are supposed to?
