I’ve been wanting a jeep for over 35 years. Then I got out the Marine Corp. Finally I got approved through Hudson Jeep in Jersey City. NJ. With a high interest rate. And I didn’t purchase the exteneded warranty…because it came with the basic warranty (engine, Transmission, drivetrain from chrysler) And then the Jeep started giving me problems…After few months of having the Jeep…Hope that someone can help me out…Because I love my Jeep….

I have a 08 jk sahara sometime (3 times so far)when i push the button on the remote to open the doors the jeep go's crazy the ALARM ,lights,windshield wipers front and back and water comes out,4 ways lights,horns, and this happens when i push the button to open the doors.. I disconnected the battery is was still happening...and it would stop after awhile..First time it was a short it seems like last longer each time..PLEASE HELP ME..... WHAT COULD IT BE!!!! Now it happens when i am driving !!
I try the grounds, battery and everything i can think of....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuWtZZ0bLOo

It's the TIPM (total integrated power management). I had the exact same problem on my 08' sahara oddly enough. The part is the fuse box under the hood on the passenger side. It controls most of the electronics in the Jeep. It costs about $240 for the part but here's the BS, the dealer has to install because the new TIPM need to be programed with their star scan based on your VIN. My total was $520 for all this. Hope this helps.

Ive heard of a boosted CB causing problems when you key the mike but I doubt your running 100 plus watts. Hope you get it fixed without chasing a ghost.

Way too much, moparpartsonline.com or I even saw one on eBay that was being sold by a dealer. Just make sure it new. Maybe try a different dealer or try working with them on the price. I always ask for a better price from the dealer and usually get something off.
