Description of the problem	As i went to leave for work and placed the jeep in reverse the horn honked a couple times. After i put it in park to make sure it was ok i reversed again and then the horn started honking, the windshield wipers started going and it started spraying washer fluid. After taking the key out of the ignition this continued for about 10 seconds. The vehicle was fine on the drive to work but once i parked and walked in the door it did the same thing again for about 5 seconds. The next morning i drove it (2 days later) i noticed my heat wouldn't work, tried the a/c, and still nothing. Once i was moving i tried again and it was working, but once i stopped at a light it stopped again. I took it to the sealer that afternoon and they suspect the tipm needs replacing but there are 178 on back order. This is concerning since this seems to be a large problem and the forums are covered in stories of the same thing. That night driving home my jeep started honking, spaying washer fluid and wiping while driving. Once that stopped my a/c went out again after the dealership said they fixed it because it's charge was apparently low. My heat and a/c have since stopped working most of the time, occasionally will work. Last night while driving home my horn, wipers, washer fluid and door locks were all going for about 3, minutes. I had people pulling over out of my way because they thought i was honking at them. I have since unplugged the horn and see this as a hazard. It was dark and spraying washer fluid intermittently for 3 or so minutes was very distracting and keep interfering with my visibility. Today my door locks keep clicking as i drive. I have had issues periodically during the day when the i can hear the horn honking when the key is not in the ignition.
