Question Rubicon Locker/Swaybar Switches Stopped working

Long Story Short.

I hit my ESP off Button and nothing happened. So I tried turning my lockers on and again nothing happened. Same Problem with the Sway Bar Disconnect.

The only Button that seems to work in the whole line is the Hazard switch.

I though maybe the Dash Lights were the problem but coming off an exit ramp the ESP light starting blinking (as Normal) so the lights work. I also Put the Tcase in 4Low and the ESP disabled as it should.

Has anyone had this problem? I am hoping it is just the switches. But am hesitant to order a new panel because the Hazard Button Still works.

Does anyone know if that is separate from the rest.

Any input will Help.

I had the same problem with my 2013. I also lost all the steering wheel button functions except cruise and the horn as well. Dealer said it was a bad instrument cluster. They have it on order (AEV cluster) so it will be a couple of weeks.

We'll i disconnected the negative over night and reset computer. Still nothing. I also checked all fuses and they are all good. I am at a loss. Has anyone had this problem and resolved it, or know what could have caused this? Thank in advance

it sounds like there is no power getting to the actuators. I'm sure fuses have been checked the next thing will be to put a voltage meter on your power in to the actuator and then hit the switch to see if power is getting there if no power start working backwards. From there go to the switch and make sure you have power there. then go to your fuse block and check it there ensure you have power there and at the relay might be a relay.

Look at the fuse for your overhead light. I had the same problem and that was it. Its under the hood
