2006 Jeep Wrangler Electrical system Problems

“The heater fan speed switch starts failing by only working on high speed. Then it quits completely. I have had the whole unit replaced before about 3 years ago. It just did exactly the same thing again and I have had it replaced again. This time the replacement unit doesn't allow me to change the location of where the heat comes out. It is stuck on the defroster.”

“While driving on the route smoke start coming out from air / heat vents. I stopped the car, got out of opened frond hood, but was nothing there. Walked to passenger door and saw fire where passenger keeps legs. Got my paperwork from the car and by the time I run away from the car the whole thing was ball of fire.”

“The ecu has failed 4 times in my Jeep. By doing a little research on a couple of Jeep pages it is a common problem for this particular model. It has been replaced under warranty, for the past 2 years. I have been told that chrysler will not replace it again. The problem that is caused is the way the transmission shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gear . Sometimes the Jeep will go into limp mode . This has been going on since august of 2016, a total of 4 ecu's has been installed.”

“I own a 2006 Jeep Wrangler and besides excessive tire wear which the local dealership cannot seem to fix, my latest problem is with the ignition system . Originally I thought it was the ignition switch but when I called the dealership to get a new one the parts salesman told me that my problem wasn't with the switch (and he was right) the problem is a piece of plastic between the switch and the tumbler and that the only way to get the plastic piece was to buy the complete steering column. …”

“The plastic switch controlling the defroster broke, which made it impossible to defog the windows. I was on the highway and had to use a rag to keep the window clear while driving so I could exit.”
