Two problems related to headlights turn off while driving have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We were driving in the nm mountains at night. The headlights and tail lights went out. The wipers started running. I pulled off the road. We were lucky we didn't have a wreck. Eventually we shut off the engine and restarted it. The lights came back on.
Headlights continue to go out. Daughter has to drive home with fog lights. Engine fan comes on and off. Took to Jeep they said it was a short and it worked for a month, same thing. After research it appears the tipm is bad, lots of complaints etc. Online regarding this issue. The lights have gone off while driving on highway, and city street and also after the car was parked at work all day. It is random. I have tapped on the tipm module and then turned on the lights and they work again for a day or two and then go out again. This has happened several times since December 2015, the last time was March 5, 2016.
