Default Relay issue?

Hey all. I turned on my jeep today to find the wipers, headlights, blinkers not working. Sounds like a relay to me. No autoparts place around me has any 2008 parts info. I tested the fuses and everything to do with the wipers, headlights, side lights etc have no power when on or off. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow, just was hoping I could find somewhere or someone who could shed some light (no pun intended) on other potential issues. Radio, insrtuments interior light (with door open) all work. ESP cannot be turned off though.


Thanks for any help.

Try disconnecting the battery negative terminal for a few minutes.
That seems to clear up lots of computer control problems.
It's easy to do, and it's free.

I thought of trying that before, but figured that was "too easy"

So I just went and tried your advice. It worked! Thanks. I guess I should have tried that earlier.

Much appreciated!
