Wiring problems of the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Overhead display ceases to work. Online forums have pointed to a faulty wiring harness that has to be replaced at considerable cost. If the harness is faulty could it cause an electrical problem?.

While attempting to repair both driver's and passenger's seat warmer system that was no longer working, I discovered that the factory installed heated seats had apparently shorted out and caused the foam cushion in each of the seats to catch fire. The wiring had burned a hole approximately 4 inches long and 1-2 inches deep. Fortunately, the fire did not spread far within the seat. Upon doing an online search, it appears that this is a very common problem.

The plug and wiring to the blower motor on many Jeep vehicals is burning up. I do not believe the plug or the wires, including the tabs the plug connects to, are heavy enough to carry the load of the blower. It is fused at 40amps.

- the heater and a/c are not working in the contact's 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact called the dealer ( all star Dodge in amarillo, TX) to set up appointment for repair. The dealer stated that the vehicle's failure is due to the wiring harness melting which created a short circuit in the resonator. Dealer explained that they would need to replace the wiring harness and resonator. The dealer called the parts warehouse in dallas, TX and they stated that there is a back order for the part that can take a few weeks before they get the part. The contact is concerned that the vehicle may catch on fire due to the failure.

First the front passenger side window went out and would not roll up, they replaced the window relay, then not even a month later the driver side window did the same thing. After my dad took it apart the relay he found that was not the motor at all but the bosch gear & cable were defective, and probably from the beginning because the very start of the cable was totally pinched and caused the whole cable to get bond.

While motor was still running consumer got out and opened gate. Vehicle started moving in reverse while in park. Consumer shifted to drive and vehicle was still moving in reverse. Then, shifted vehicle into park with foot on brake, cut vehicle off twice, and it kept going in reverse. Second time, upon starting vehicle, it wouldn't start up. Had to be towed to dealer. Tow truck driver pointed out that electrical wires were burned, and plug beneath when it was towed first time, was gone. Vehicle at dealership.

While driving 70 mph engine stalled, no prior notice. Consumer unable to start vehicle. Had to be towed to dealer. Dealer stated problem was with electrical system and replaced cam sensor. Mileage at the time was 591.
