ARG! The front window controls for my 11' JK Wrangler 4 door just died. The control still operates the back windows though, just not the front. Anyone have any Ideas on a quick fix before I call up the dealer?

 

I'd pull the bezel and check the wiring. Doors been off recently? Check fuses?

 

Doors have never been off an issue haven't checked the fuses yet... I've read a few other forums and it sounds like turning the jeep off and back on fixed it for a few people. I dislike that though, and I really like to know what causes problems so they don't come back.

Its happen to me also and yes turn it off then turn engine back on and they will start working.have no idea why this happens.it has happened twice in the last 2 years.

 

Never hears of this before, but it happened to me at lunch today. Same fix worked thouh.

 

i say ditch them and go manual,jeeps are not supposed to have power windows anyways...

 

Sucker!!! Haha i have manual windows:P haha just kidding..check your fuse or it can be stuck or Jammed that's what happened to my sisters bmw it got all jammed up

 

There is a self-resetting circuit breaker in the TIPM that feeds the power windows.
If a window draws too much current, the breaker will pop, and stay popped until the ignition key is turned to the OFF position, at which point it will reset.

This could be an explanation of why turning the ignition off will make the windows work again.

However, this can't be the reason when, on a 4dr, the rear windows continue to work.

When only the front windows fail on the 4dr, and turning the ignition off brings them back, the only thing I can think of that would cause it is a problem on the circuit board in the front switch panel. It may be a case of reestablishing communications among the computer chips.

 

exactly what happened with my 08 then everything else electrical started failing...alarm/disarm buttons, radio, then jeep eventually would not turn on...even tried hard reset blah blah blah locked out of jeep...dealership said sumthin bout sumthin communications could not be reestablished,electrical stuff, computer stuff and headlight fluid was low all this other B.S i dunno...finally just replaced TIPM...$900 later it was fine and been fine since...lol

 

Off and on worked for me.. if that dosnt work check your connecters the the door wires plug into. I didnt secure the little red tab once and on of the connecters worked it way loose.
