    What the hell is going on? I checked the fuses and everything is clear there. Not a damn one of the fuses is blown!

    Somebody help!

    Nope. Not under warranty. I'll try resetting the system when I get home.

    My truck must have been playing an April Fool's prank on me. I just wish it had picked a day when I didn't have a job interview. Showing up sweaty is never good form.

    So I get up this morning at 6:45 to take the truck in to the dealership get whatever wiring problem there is fixed, and when I turn the accessories on I hear a faint noise that sounds like a fan spinning and then slowing down. I reach down and flip the A/C to low, and I'll be damned if the A/C is working! I take a look at the gauges, start the truck up and no more ABS or E-brake lights; my mirror tells me the direction and temperature again, and my windows work!

    I'm not sure what kind of wiring ghost I have, but I'll try to be nice from now on.

    I dunno. I'm going to see how long it keeps working, if it happens again I'll take it in and have the dealer look at it

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I am thinking a faulty ground somewhere. Is the battery post corroded?

    Nope, the battery is good as new.

    My wifes jeep has similar issues. Her ABS light was on and the electrical system was doing funny things at random.

    We took it in and learned the battery was leaking and the acid was dripping onto the main wire harness. It shorted out the ABS sensors and was working on other things as well. Fixed under warranty but made for a stressful 6 hour drive to the Jersey shore.

    We hate her car. New Jeeps suck!
