2002 JEEP LAREDO Exterior Lighting Problems

THE ALERT FOR THE TURN SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN I TURN MY HEADLIGHTS ON. THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK PROPERLY, AND THE REVERSE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON THE SAME MODEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO'S ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SHORTAGE. THE BRAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LAREDO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM. SHE PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE HEADLIGHTS AND NOTICED A FILM ON THE LIGHT COVERS DUE TO CONDENSATION. SHE CALLED TWO DEALERS TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. ONE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT; HOWEVER, THEY BOTH STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THEY BOTH ADVISED HER TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING BECAUSE NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 09/17/08. *LJ UPDATED 09/25/08. *JB
