Electrical problem
Started my jeep up today, engine ran but wipers wouldn't turn off and had no power to any of my gauges or dash. After about 5 minutes everything kicked back on. Any clue?

If the ground is tight, then you may want to take it by a dealership. I -THINK- they have a tool that can test the TIPM for functionality.
If you're mildly mechanically inclined, replacing the TIPM isn't so bad. The cost is what hurts, I think they are in the neighborhood of $300.
This link has instructions on replacing a TIPM.

Mine has done crazy stuff like that ten or so times over the last three years or so. I pull the TIPM (it is easy, but be careful with those plastic connectors and their varied release mechanisms), clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner, and add a little dielectric grease to protect from moisture. It has worked so far, but there is that nagging suspicion that someday it might leave me stranded.
