Description of the problem	Just over a month ago i was going to work, and noticed that my turn signals were not working. I tried moving the turn signal up and down to no avail. I also noticed that my headlights would not come on. I pulled over and thought maybe a fuse went bad or something and found every single fuse to be fine. I then also noticed that the digital compass readout on the dash was not functioning, and i could not scroll through the menus with the main computer using the steering wheel controls. The hazard lights would work properly... And the lights would flash properly when i locked the doors with my key fob... Which told me that the circuit was still working. After about 25 minutes of fiddling everything suddenly started working again. The next day, while at work i went to lunch, and when i returned to work as i pulled into the parking spot, my windshield wipers randomly turned on without me turning them on... And i could not get them to turn off... Even with the engine off. I had to disconnect the battery to get them to go off. I took it to the local jeep dealer and they found that it was the tipm i figured well... Now i do have a new unit and should be fine. That fantasy was destroyed yesterday when i went to go home from work, and suddenly my lights would not turn on... Then got stuck on and couldn't turn them off... And my windshield wipers would not turn on at all... And the turn signals would not function... All while going down the interstate. I live in virginia, and we are in the middle of a huge rain event, so the wipers and lights for sure needed to work in order for me to drive home. I had to disconnect the battery to get everything to turn off. After doing that... The headlights will not turn on... And the wipers remain the same and not working. Needless to say i had to get a ride home after i made it back to work... Having to leave it at work.
