| Description of the problem | Jeep wrangler jk unlimited sport s 35k miles. Vehicle wipers will not turn off. Issues where the wipers can be activated with the fog light control and vice versa. The fog lights can come on at random and begin to flash on and off. It is truly frustrating to not be able to turn my wipers off. I went to the dealer and they diagnosed it as both the wiper switch and headlight/fog light switch were shorting and both needed to be replaced. The estimate was $700 for repair. This is rediculous for a 3 year old vehicle and just months out of the 3 year warranty. My guess is that if replace both the switches, the issue will return and then the true cause, which i suspect to be the tipm, will need to be replaced for another $1200. |
