I need some help / advice please.
For the last few days it has been super humid. then we had a heavy hard rain.
Now (right after the rain) my brights wont go off (even when the car is off) they flicker and flash as I drive (i changed the regulator and its not that).
ALSO, only my driverside door locks seem to be functioning. The door switch and the key do not seem to effect anything other than the effect the drivers side. While I drive I see and hear the other 3 doors trying to open and close.

Is my jeep possesed?

help and advice would be most appriciated.

About 90% of electrical problems on these KJs are caused by a bad battery or bad battery/earth strap connections so that is the first thing that you need to eliminate.

Then you need to check that rainwater has not got into the electrics somewhere..this can take some time! :(

Ill have to take a look. I am going to assume that this issue was from that water as it seems a bit better now that it has dried out a bit. The battery is new as of last year. Too bad things are starting to go bad, i love this jeep.
