I have ten radios put in my jk they keep failing been to 5 dealerships to have it replaced. Have it at a new one that the Jeep as not been to have a new set of eyes on it. They called me on fri. the wiring harness at the radio is all spliced and now all has to be replaced with a new harness. Dont know if it happened when I got in new the original was a mygig did not want it so they put in a regular one but it was not working at first so do not if it was seplaced then or at another dealrship. I love my jeep and have had 3 but this is the only one by chrysler and i will not get another chrysler Thank god i have my 79 cj

 

More info please...what kind of radio and how is it failing?

 

A res i think the p# is 68021163AC. It will power on but no Vol. control and no Vol. on the display but i get the time and channel # When i reset it by tuning on and off the ignition it will work. But after a month or two it will smoke out of the dash. I have a video of it if I can find it. I was told by a technician that it was "because i work at the airport and the airplanes are damaging my radio". I told him he was full of it.

 

I work on electrical systems all the time but have not worked on the jk its under warranty and has been doing this from the beginning so i dont want to give them a excuse to void my warranty

 

DonP I'm sorry I don't know what exactly is wrong but it sounds like the main JK wiring harness has something seriously wrong with it, a large factory defect. Those sorts of things as you probably know are very difficult (impossible?) to fix. It would take a very sharp technician (if Chrysler has any of those?) probably many days to go thru the whole system and resolve whatever the wiring problem(s) are, if even that would find the fix. Sad to say it but you might think about the lemon law and try to get rid of that Jeep.

 

I was thinking about it with all the other problems I have had with it but dont know how long it will take. Have not have had a vehicle with so many problems.

 

So I did it I sent out a Wi motor vehicle lemon law notice today to Chrysler. After trying to get h to call me back for 3 weeks enough is enough hopefully it will get resolved
