02 Jeep Liberty electrical issues
I just bought an 02 Jeep Liberty yesterday from a private seller. It drove fine through test drive, and I drove it home about 15 miles and parked for the night. This morning I start it and its a christmas tree on the dash, gauges don't work when I put on headlights and radio lights don't work, but music plays?? The odometer has a code "no bu5". I drove it to Auto Zone so they can scan it for any codes, but nothing came up. Not one single code? Is anyone familiar with this issue? Im googling and seeing a ton of electrical issues with Jeeps and now I'm hoping I dont have a lemon on my hands. I'd appreciate any tips and advice that can help me. Thank you so much.....

Not to say nobody will chime in here, but I suspect you might find a lot more support on a Jeep "KJ" specific forum. I did a quick google search for the issue.....ooof, that sounds like one of those issues where it could be a whole host of things, obviously electrical related. I hate to say it, but it's a bit too much of a coincidence that this happened almost immediately after buying it from a private party. Makes me wonder if they are doing a happy dance right now having sold it. I'd think the very first place to start is making sure that battery is indeed good. Did you have Autozone test the battery while there?
Sorry I can't be more help. There are a lot of "no bu5" threads on the KJ forums though, so time to start sorting through a lot of those. I went through a couple, but seems they lead down various paths. Biggest issue with forums in general is many people post an issue, and never a follow up!
