I have a 2006 KJ Sport 3.7L, I have added an overhead console (EVIC from an '06 KJ) works great. I moved the stock map light to the rear where the cargo light was and replaced the stock bulbs with 24 LED pads in each side, everything works fine!
The problem comes with the front map/dome lights in the overhead console, they work fine with stock incandescent bulbs (192), when I install LED bulbs the lights will not shut off completely while driving!
They do shut off when the key is removed and the alarm is set.
Do I need to or can I install a separate ground for these lights?
I checked the circut with a VOM and found that there is 5.3V going to the bulbs at all times, this is not enough to light the incandescent bulbs but enough to cause the LED's to glow.
Does anyone know why there is voltage there all the time, and is there a way around this without using a load resistor that develops heat?
In the grand scheme of things this is not the biggest problem in the world and I could just say screw it and live with the yellowish light from the stock bulbs.............BUT........well y'all know what I mean!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Any ideas of what else could be broke?
disconnect one terminal of battery and connect an amp meter in series to see
should not over one amp
Any help out there?
Thanks for any help!!
Anyone know what the problem might be? :sick: :mad:
Better to be safe than sorry, that being said I hardly ever do it myself and have never had a problem.
Hope this was helpful

I have had the lights flash on my 04 liberty twice. I think both times was when my gas tank went below 1/4 full. So I may try replacing the gas cap and see if that is what is causing this strange phenomena.
Thanks for your help.
I checked the fuses and replaced a a few of them. I don't know what to do...
Thanks

Have you find a solution to that constant 5.3v that runs constantly ?
Thanks.
Where do I start? Is there a part that I can change?????
Thanks
I am having the exact same issue. It started a few months ago. I left it for a while replaced the bulb and fuse a few weeks ago and it worked great until a few days ago when the same problem occurred.
Please let me know if/how you resolve this issue.
I made "a little noise" about the window regulators & Jeep is gauranteeing them for the life of my vehicle (7 replaced to date)!
The ECM was throwing an O2 heater circut code, after replacing all 4 sensors twice I narrowed it down to the ECM. Replaced it for $245. the unit comes with a lifetime gaurantee & took 10 minutes to replace.
Good luck, don't be afraid to yell & scream (although a customer shouldn't have to)
