Ok the other day after I shut off the jeep I heard what sounded like a electrical charge running thrugh the dash and it just done it again today. Anyone else heard this or heard of it? Didnt see anything on here about it.

I also hear this on my 2011 from time to time, usually a minute or two after I turn off the car completely. (ie: no acc, key off and out.) It's never seemed to do any harm, so I said "huh. okay..." and didn't really ever give it a second thought. I would be curious to know what it is though.

Most likely you're hearing the air diverter. It closes after your shut the Jeep off.

There has been a few threads about it. Nothing to be worried mine has always done it. If I remember right it was something with the computers.

No one has actually identified the component that makes the noise.
It's like the "mystery ding". Many guesses, no positive ID.
