Jeep Commander Electrical Problem
![posessedjeep](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/720b50b26f68173134d4166beec140a2/?default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2Fcecc28f3e4a9662b015100f3cfcb8cb0_200.png&rating=g&size=200)
in Jeep
My '06 Commander seems to be having some electrical problems. The rear assist lights come on, the auto high beam/low beam changes on the computer, the air bag light comes on & chimes. If the A/C is on, it goes from face to feet & back up. I've had it in & the dealer changed the ignition switch. This didn't fix it. I've searched the service bulletins but don't see anything specific to that problem. Any thoughts?

I still love the look of the car, but, the reason I went to a Jeep from a Jaguar was for reliability; my first car was a jeep, then after having a BMW Convertible I went back to a Jeep, then a Jaguar and now back to a Jeep...because of the reliability of the first two, but after this series of problems which The Dealer says they have no knowledge of, it's doubtful that I'd get another Jeep (though I bet I'll end up having this one forever).
If any of you find out what is causing the electrical problem, please post the solution!
Thanks,
S.F.
Upon picking up my vehicle the service representative informed me that the oil was changed and that they had completed a software upgrade. Since this upgrade my Commander is doing almost everything that I have read in this chain one by one by one by one.
First it was the back-up sensor, then the dashboard lights coming on a off then the driver side window not auto raising, ghost in the machine now.
I work in the IT industry, if there is one rule we follow and that is NEVER upgrade unless it’s completely vetted out COMPLETELY. This upgrade was not, I guarantee you. This is a Chrysler software issue.
I want my Jeep back
DANG! SO it seems I have lucked out and it was only the switch and not al the other electrical problems alot of you are having. Keep you updated once they fix it.

I also have had the headlights go off and on. The fan off and on and entire dash light up. Taken back to dealership twice so far. I don't know what to do at this point. I worry I will be driving down the highway and the brakes engaging.
I already went through a lemon law case around 3 years ago. The inside of my windshield would leak. I would have to chip ice from inside of windshield durning winter. Took it in countless times.Finally they subed it out to a company that specialized in leaks and it got fixed.
I just spoke with chrysler corporate and they are calling me back tomorrow.
I also earlier today called a few jeep dealer service centers in the area asking them only to call me back if any of them had actually had their own hands on a jeep commander for this sort of repair; a full business day down, and, so far, nobody has called me back. the last time i spoke with a dealer i was told that it would cost about $600 to repair the leak because they would be replacing all of the tubing that make up the sunroof drains.
Please tell me what was the final solution that actually worked for your commander to stop this leaking.
I have small confidence that Jeep Chrysler will do the right thing and admit this is a manufacturer's flaw, and am prepared to pay for the repair myself. That said, I want this to be a successful repair that doesn't take advantage of me $ as the dealer did when he did not file the warranty papers at time of purchase...
At this point, this will be my 3rd and last Jeep purchase.
Of course, this Jeep Commander will be mine forever, because I certainly can't sell it to anyone else knowing how much of a liability it is (cruise control switching on by itself being the worse example of that liability).
but as you can see even though Jeep Corporate acknowledges the problems we have detailed as experiencing here on this forum, Jeep Corporate does not assume responsibility to the extent that it will repair them, i.e., buying Jeep apparenly ain't what it used to be; now, buying Jeep Chrysler comes with 'buyer beware' principle.
why the US government bailed out such an unprincipled company as Jeep Chrysler has become is beyond the comprehension of reasonable Americans; bad investment of USA taxpayer dollars. (mercedese paying to get rid of it's investment in chrysler says it all...)
going through my Commander Folder today i realized that my very first complaint to Chrysler Jeep about a brake-stall problem was eventually addressed by a safety recall (that i only found out about when i called in to Jeep regarding the water leak and electrical/cruise control problems).
Any ideas why these are staying lit? I thought that maybe the brakes were getting bad so I changes the brakes all 4 wheels but to no availe
does anyone have any idea why these lights are still lit. They effect my cruise control being on
the leak of rain water has stopped on its own but this evening i opened sunroof and when i went to close it, it would not close. i had to shut engine off, turn on, turn off and on before it would close.
also, incase it happens again, does anyone know how to close these sunroofs manually?
thank you!
I had the terrible water leak problem. Found out it was debris
Getting in drain lines from sun roof by leaving it open under trees. Jeep blew
out drain lines for $150.00. .
Solved problem finally!
Drain lines get clogged and need to be blown out $150.00 . Don't let them try and sell you new
$600.00 lines a good blowout solves the problem. Took me 3 years to figure this out just one little twig left in the sunroof track can get lodged in drain tubes as well as baby acorns ect.
Did you ever figure out the problem with this issue? That is what mine is doing.
having the same problem with my 2006 commamder.. head light and dash lights go out by themselves. if i push the control stick forward they come back on.. comments?
About the only thing common to the two symptoms would be the transmission range selector switch and circuit. The park assist needs to see reverse selected which is one of the responsibilities of the range selector switch. The shifter indicator position in the cluster uses the same inputs. If you could narrow down the circumstances during which the failure occurs so that it could be made to be more repeatable, that would help the technicians make some progress with this.
problem solved for me so far hope it helps some of you

Same wacky frustrating (electrical?) problems. Error codes all over the place. Thought transmission was going out. Thought cylinder weren't firing. You name it. Checked with monitor (son in law) and relays were randomly opening and closing, crazy. Thought computer module was shot.
FINALLY took it to the shop (money!) and the problem WAS BAD GROUNDING STRAP!
Works like new!
My driver side dash head light went out. Then my windows ALL MY WINDOWS stopped working and my windshield wipers stopped working front and back. Then my battery began to go bad and for a moment everything worked I change the bad battery and again nothing works. Took it to the dealer and was told it was the window module but they don’t make it anymore i found it used still nothing Can anyone relate? I’m so frustrated!
