On some occasions all the dormant indicators simply light up (tire inflation, check engine, seat belt ect) at other times we lose total electrical on the interior and dash. We lose fuel gauge, heater fan, dash lights, radio ect. Then it comes back to life. Even the best mechanics cannot find a ghost. Jeep has a problem and they better acknowledge it fast or someone will…
