Four problems related to wiring have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Left front directional has replaced bulb but still flashes fast. Computer was scanned for codes and tipm code present. Light socket and wiring all look good. 2007 Wrangler had a tipm recall. 2009 should as well.
During a "death wobble" event, my passenger side blinkers and brake light stopped working. We attempted to change the bulbs, fuses, and checked the wiring under the steering column to no avail. How much more is this vehicle cost me?.
There is a known issue with the Jeep Wrangler clock spring in 2007+ models. Currently a recall has been issued for 2007 and 2008 left hand drive models, and 2007-2012 right hand drive models. A recall should be made for all model years and configurations as this issue can lead to the airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. The current recall is as follows: Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 right hand drive (rhd) Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured from February 1, 2007, through October 10, 2011. Some vehicles may be equipped with driver's airbag clockspring assemblies that could experience a compromised airbag circuit resulting in an airbag lamp illumination, which indicates that the airbag may not deploy. Consequence: a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injuries. Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners and remedy the vehicles as necessary free of charge. Chrysler will mail to owners an interim notification during March 2012. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Notes: Chrysler's recall number is l37. Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
After removing the rear-mounted spare tire on my 2009 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon (4 door, 4wd) I noticed that the outer insulation (conduit) protecting the wiring harness for the third brake light had rubbed against the hard plastic grommet where the wiring harness exits the rear (outside) panel of the tailgate. The insulation had rubbed down to the point that the inner wires and their insulation were showing. This is a safety defect since, if not addressed, the rubbing would eventually go through the insulation on the wires, causing a short in close proximity to the spare tire. I reported my findings to Jeep customer service and also took the vehicle to my local dealer. The dealer replaced the oem grommet with a rubber piece, and then ordered and installed a new wiring harness.
