instrument panel, headlights and wipers don't work

haynick · 10-25-2009, 01:38 AM

I started my Jeep today and found that my instruments don't work and both my windshield wiper and headlight switches also do nothing. Oddly my headlights now come on as soon as I start the Jeep up but I can't turn them off...

It was almost dark when I found all this out so haven't had a chance to look at the fuses yet but going by the users manual no single fuse would account for this combination of problems.

Has this ever happened to any of you guys, or does anyone have any insight or ideas of where to start looking?

Check the relay under the hood.

Can you point me to where the relay is exactly? it's an 07 wrangler by the way.

Well after a trip to the dealer, come to find out that it was just a bit of corrosion on the connection for the instrument panel.
