On a regular basis, the horn will engage continuously, the wipers turn one, the spray nozzle sprays fluid, the radio occasionally will turn off, the headlights turn off (driving hazard at night), and the doors lock sometimes. All of this happens at the same time. You can turn the key off and take it out and the engine continues to run and the problems continue to occur until you either unhook the battery or knock on top of the tipm. Sometimes the vehicle will not start. Code given is u0141 which is "loss of communication with the front control module (tipm)." this is a very well known issue with the late 2007 and 2008 years of the wrangler model. It is a faulty product installed by chrysler and many dealerships recognize the issue. Chrysler refuses to issue a recall for the problem.
