1998 Jeep Wrangler Electrical Problems

AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND SPEEDO AND TACH STOPS WORKING. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THIS IS OCCURING ON NUMEROUS JEEPS OF THIS YEAR. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT THIS I WILL BE GETTING A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS TOGETHER AND FILING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!! IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ITS HAPPENING TO THE MAJORITY ON THIS YEARS WRANGLERS

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER GO DEAD, AND THE AIRBAG AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. I HAVE TO HIT THE DASH A COUPLE OF TIMES AND EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING AGAIN. DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE WINTER WHEN IT'S COLD. IT'S A LITTLE UNNERVING WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND RUNNING THE HEATER AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN THE HVAC UNIT AND SMELL SUBSIDED. I PULLED THE HVAC HEAD UNIT OUT AND HAD A VACUUM LINE AND IT'S INSULATION MELTED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. THE HEAT AND AC NOW ONLY WORK ON THE HIGHEST SETTING. *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT MY GAUGES JUST STOP WORKING AND THEN ONE DAY I WENT TO DRIVE IT AND I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. IT IS IN THE MECHANIC SHOP AS WE SPEAK. THEY HAVE FOUND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH HAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND ALL THE WIRES HAVE FUSED TOGETHER. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. NOW THE OTHER PROBLEM IS FINDING THE PART MY MECHANIC HAS TRIED EVERYWHERE TO FIN IT. SO NOW MY JEEP IS JUST SITTING IN THE SHOP GOING ON THREE DAYS NOW UNTIL A PART CAN BE FOUND. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS AS I SEE ON HERE AND OTHER SITES THAT IT IS DANGEROUS AND MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES?? *TR

PURCHASED MY JEEP NEW IN 1998 AND I ONLY DROVE IT ABOUT 5000 MILES PER YEAR..IN ABOUT 2009 I BEGAN TO HAVE SOME TROUBLE WITH THE GAUGES/SPEEDOMETER..THEY WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING FOR PERIODS OF TIME...IN ABOUT 2010 I THERE WAS AN ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTS WHEN I USED MY HEATER OR AC..EACH TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE LAST TIME I HAD IT CHECKED WAS THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2011. ON NOVEMBER 21, 2011 I WAS DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE WITH THE HEATER ON AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE VENTS..I TURNED OFF THE HEATER & BLOWER & THEN SAW FIRE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I STOPPED & TRIED TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES WITH MY JACKET. A LADY STOPPED TO HELP & CALLED 911. WHILE WAITING FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT (JUST A FEW MINUTES) AND I WAS SITTING IN THE LADY'S CAR...I WATCHED MY JEEP START MOVING TO THE RIGHT (EVEN THOUGH THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF & THE JEEP WAS IN GEAR)...IT WENT INTO A GRASS FIELD, BURST INTO FLAMES AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I ONLY HAD MINOR BURNS ON MY FINGERS & HANDS (FROM TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FIRE). I AM EXTREMELY UPSET! *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES OUT - SPEEDOMETER AND TACH, OR ALL OTHER GAUGES GO OUT, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. APPEARS TO BE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS SAME FAILURE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEM SINCE 1998. NUMEROUS SERVICE BULLETINS BUT NO RECALLS! WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM AND IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS? *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/GAUGES INTERMITTENTLY STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THERE IS NO WARNING, JUST A SHUT DOWN OF ALL GAUGES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING ON THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF WRANGLER. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT FUNCTION WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO CORRECT THIS? *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE TACHOMETER/ SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO... ALL OTHER GAUGES DISPLAY PROPERLY AND I HAD NO POWER LOSS.....IT WAS REALLY TENSE BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY.... I CANNOT GET THIS REPAIRED BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A CODE TO CHECK (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON) THIS HAS HAPPEN 5 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER 2007.... AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM..... *TR

MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WATER PUMP LEAKED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, GAS TANK SEAL LEAKED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, SEATS RIPPED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, SUCTION CUP MARKS ON WINDOW - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK LEAKED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, REAR WINDOW SEAL LEAKED - REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY TWO TIMES AND STILL LEAKS, INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILS - OUT OF WARRANTY NOT REPAIRED, RADIATOR FAILED - OUT OF WARRANTY FIXED AT MY COST, STABILIZER ARM FAILED BOTH SIDES TWICE - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE AND THE OUT OF WARRANTY FIXED AT MY COST, EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILED - OUT OF WARRANTY - FIXED AT MY COST, CLUTCH FORK FAILED - OUT OF WARRANTY FIXED AT MY COST, LEAK UNDER THE DASH BOARD PASSENGER SIDE - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. OF ALL THE PROBLEMS ABOVE... LOSS OF INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDLESS OF IN OR OUT OF WARRANTY. LOSS OF GAUGES IS A DRIVING DISTRACTION AND CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS LONG AS THIS VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD. *JB

SINCE 1999 GAUGES DROPPED OFF INTERMITTENTLY , SOMETIMES WHEN HITTING A BUMP, OTHER TIMES ON ITS OWN. TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. SOMETIMES STOPPING AND RESTARTING ENGINE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. VERY SPORADIC WHEN IT HAPPENED. ALSO, LOSE MILEAGE INDICATOR. SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS NOW FROM CONSUMERS, NOT TO MENTION AIR BAG NON-DEPLOYMENT COMPLAINTS. MULTIPLE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS KNEW THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE?? WILL MY AIRBAG WORK? I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE TO FIND OUT!!*AK

MY GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD CONSISTENTLY GO TO "0" WHILE DRIVING MY 1998 JEEP WRANGLER. MY SPEEDOMETER,TACHOMETER, BATTERY STATUS, OIL, AND ENGINE TEMP ALL GO TO THE LEFT AND THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS ESPECIALLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, WHEN I NEED GAS, OR IF MY AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY IN MY FACE OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY OTHER REPORTS CONCERNING THIS SAME ISSUE THAT IT IS INCUMBENT ON THE GOVERNMENT OR JEEP/CHRYSLER TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION! *NM

I OWN A 1998 JEEP WRANGLER VIN NUMBER [XXX] I PURCHASED NEW ON APR 10, 1998 SINCE FEB. 1, 2003 THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS OFF AND ON NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY . THIS INCLUDED ALL THE GAUGES AND AIR BAG INDICATOR. I HAVE TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A AUTHORIZED DEALER SERVICE SHOP FOR REPAIR ON 2-6-2003, 10-16-2003 AND 5-19-2004. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY SAID THE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD CORROSION AND THEY SPRAYED IT. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS TO MUCH CORROSION AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEING IT ABOUT $900.00 THIS VEHICLE AS OF THIS DATE HAS ONLY 16076 MILES ON IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE WHEN INSTRUCTMENT AND AIR BAG INDICATOR HAS STOP WORKING.*AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 * JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

MY 1998 JEEP TJ WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2004 WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES. RAN GREAT FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND THEN WOULD DIE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THEN AFTER SITTING FOR 30MINS WOULD START BACK UP AND COULD BE DRIVEN ABOUT 40 MILES BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. SO DISTCAP. PLUGS, WIRES, ROTOR AND IGNITION COIL WERE CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM PERSISITED WITH INTERMITTEN PROBLEMS. SO A OBII HANDHELD SCANNER BY INNOVA WAS PURCHASED TO SCAN THE SYSTEM WHICH FINALLY CAUGHT A CODE IN THE JEEP. THE CODE WAS P0352 WHICH WAS A RESULT OF THE PICK UP COIL INSIDE THE DISTRIBUTOR GOING OUT. WAS PURCHASE FROM THE DEALER. PART# 56041030. COST IN CA IS $57.85. WAS CHANGED AND RUNS GREAT HOWEVER THE JEEP IS NOW HAVING NEW PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED AND TROUBLE SHOT. HOPE THIS HELPS WITH THE ERRACTIC ITERMITTEN IGNITION PROBLEMS. OH AND TO TEST THE COIL TO SEE IF IT IS BAD YOU NEED A VOLT METER AND SET IT TO CHECK RESISTANCE. THE RESISTANCE FROM PRIMARY TERMINALS TO THE HIGH TENSION TERMINAL SHOULD BE 11.3 TO 15.3 OHMS ON A DIAMOND BRAND AND 11.3 TO 13.3 ON A TOYODENSO BRAND. AND WHEN CHECKING FROM PRIMARY TO THE OTHER PRIMARY IT SHOULD BE 0.97 TO 1.18 OHMS ON DIAMOND AND 0.95 TO 1.20 OHMS ON A TOYODENSO BRAND. THE PRIMARY IS WHERE THE TWO WIRE CONNECTOR FROM THE HARNESS PLUGS INTO.

CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL TANK HAD A CRACKED WHICH CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK OUT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE FUEL TANK HAD LEAKED SINCE THE OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 39K MILES. THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED WHEN FILLED IN HOT WEATHER. BOTH THE FUEL TANK NUT REPLACEMENT TANK WERE DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN DUE TO SHORTAGE. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE SERVICE DEALER FOUND A POOR CONNECTION BEHIND THE CLUSTER. THE THROTTLE SENSOR DID NOT HAVE A GOOD SEAL IN WHICH MOISTURE HAD GOTTEN INTO IT. THE FUEL TANK CORRODED BADLY AND THE NEW TANK NUT WAS USELESS. THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, AND THE GAS TANK. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. *SCC ALSO THE WATER PUMP SERPENTINE BELT, AND BATTERY WERE REPLACED. *JB

1998 JEEP WRANGLER 4.0L, EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK AT 30,000 MILES. JEEP/CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX, STATING ONLY CATALYTIC CONVERTER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CRACK OCCURRED IN A WELD JOINING THE TWO PIPE, ALMOST 3/4 OF THE WAY AROUND THE PIPE, CAUSING COSIDERABLE NOISE, AND LOSS OF POWER. GUAGES FAIL PERIODICALLY, BUT COME BACK ON THERE OWN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES. AIR CONDITIONER DRAINS ONTO FLOOR INSIDE VEHICLE ON LONG DRIVES AND CAN EVEN SHORT OUT THE RADIO. THE STEERING COLUMN ALSO SQEALS LIKE AN OLD DOOR WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE.*AK

AFTER PARKING OUR 1998 WRANGLER AT THE HOSPITAL TO VISIT MY MOTHER MY CAR WAS REPORTED ON FIRE. THE FIREMEN STATED AND WROTE A REPORT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE WRANGLER IS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY THE VEHICLE OFF. WE ARE SHORT $3,000 OF THE PAY OFF. MY IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS I WAS GLAD I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE AND DID THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF A WRANGLER. THIS CAR IS ONLY GOING INTO 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD THE REAR END REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE AND THE GAUGES GO ON AND OFF AND THIS WAS FIXED ONCE. WHAT CAUSED THIS ELECTRICAL FIRE? I WANT JEEP TO RESPOND TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. *TT

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP WRANGLER 1998. THIS IS A PARTIAL LIST I SENT TO CHRYSLER: I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH JUST 3600 MILES ON IT FROM A DEALER IN 1999. FROM DAY ONE I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. MANY OF THEM I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SOME THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX, OTHERS, AFTER MANY RETURN TRIPS, THEY WERE 'UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM'. 1. GAUGES WOULD STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING - I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 5 TIMES BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE AND FINALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. 2. THIS WAS ALSO TRUE OF THE BLINKERS THAT NOT ALWAYS WORKED - OR WORKED ALL AT THE SAME TIME. 3. MY HAZARDS STILL DO NOT WORK EVERY TIME. 4. THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OUT WHEN DRIVING,VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN IT IS HOT AND RAINING. 5. THE SOUND BAR HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY - FIRST IT WOULD ONLY COME IN SOME TIMES - NOW NEVER. 6. HEADERS ARE CRACKED - BAD. THEY HAVE BEEN WELDED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THEM WELDED IT WAS FOUND THEY WERE WELDED BEFORE MY PURCHASE - AT 3600 MIL! THEY ARE STILL CRACKED, WELDING DOES NOT HOLD. I CAN NOT GET ANYONE TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE EVEN EXHAUST SPECIALISTS SAY IT IS TOO CUMBERSOME. THE DEALER CHARGES WAY MORE THAN I HAVE CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS AND THE PRICE OF GAS - AT 12 MPG. 7. DRIVERS SEAT BELT LOCKS TIGHTLY WITH ANY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES - IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT IT LOCKS JUST WHILE DRIVING. 8. WINDOWS - THE ZIPPERS BROKE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY - I PAID ALOT TO HAVE THESE REPLACED. THE BACK WINDOW NOW HAS A CUT IN IT AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH. 9. THE TOP HAS NEVER QUITE FIT RIGHT; IT HAS ALWAYS LEAKED AND BEEN EXTREMELY NOISY - MORE SO THAN ANYONE ELSE'S THAT I KNOW. IT HAS ALSO COME APART AT THE SEAMS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN OF ANY HELP. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS JUST FOR DIAGNOSTICS, EVEN WHEN I HAD THE BEST WARRANTY. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR MOLDING COMING OUT IMMEDIATELY, GRINDING IN THE STEERING WHEEL, GRINDING WHILE TRYING TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND MORE. *NLM
