2014 JK missing wires/plugs
I think I have one of those fluke of a problems but I thought I'd ask anyway. Yesterday I noticed that my hazard lights didn't work. Turn signals work but the hazard lights don't. So I thought I'd check the functionality of the other buttons on the lower center panel. VSC button didn't do anything. HDC button in 4lo does nothing. So that got me wondering about what was going on behind the panel. I opened up the center dash and the mirrors have power and the power port has power. However there is no harness connected to the three buttons for the hazard lights, VSC, and HDC. There is nothing for the buttons to activate. The dealer has never seen such an issue. The thinking is that the plug must be tucked away and somewhere in the dash. They said they will have to disassemble the entire dash and maybe most of the interior. So, anyone else have such a weird issue?

I have seen where plugs came loose due to not being fully seated but never that. Guy at the factory must have been answering a text when your Jeep rolled by on the line.

Yeah I think I either got an "almost quitting time Friday" or a "Monday got here too quick" Jeep. I love the vehicle. Don't get me wrong. I'm just disappointed in some of the hiccups. I was missing the rear window roll up straps and my carpet bunches up anytime I move the passenger seat. None of my interior plastic trim pieces meet the carpet or mount flush to the body. Maybe its by design. I don't know.

Well I think you were right. I found the missing wire/plug. It was tucked and stuck behind another panel. Texting while assembling is bad for business. Lol.

years ago one of my new TJ's came with the completely wrong HVAC control installed.. I bought it in winter.. when spring came along I was like "how the heck do i turn on the A/C??"... they installed a "heater-only" control pad.. under the hood all the A/C parts were there... dealer said they had never seen that before... there's no way that couldve passed inspection.. that installer mustve been really new at texting then..
