Default No wipers, no gauges, no blinkers!

Had my 4 door up in the mountains and ran into a fair amount of rain and snow. Intermittently the wipers, dash gauges and blinkers would stop working, restart, stop, restart. You get the picture. Fuses appear to be intact. Is this a known issue on the JKs?

I am having the same problem just yesterday. Went to hop into my jeep it started but none of the gauges or lights or wipers worked. Anyone have an idea of what the problem is? waiting to hear from the dealership.

Sounds like a loose connection in the stick or steering column. I've heard of a few people with similar issues and I believe it was something like that.

My wife had this issue a few weeks ago. She was on her way to work.

We took the Jeep in for service. The dealship told me that the turnsignal stalk needs replaced.

I believe they reflashed the computer. Everything is working again. This was just a quick fix until my part came in. The Jeep goes in next week to finish the job.

BTW- The headlights stayed on while the engine was running. And, no fog lights.

Does this sound like your issue?

We left it at the dealership overnight. I don't think they spent too much time on it since they called us first thing in the morning.
