I have a '96 Grand Cherokee that my buddy swears is haunted. It is actually just an electrical short, but it is really getting on my nerves. When it is below 35 degrees the interior lights flash on & off and the doors keep trying to relock. It especially does it going around curves to the right. I believe that it might be in the locking mechanism in the hatch. Does anyone know if the light switch is located inside the latch? I have several reasons for thinking that it is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

You mean nobody out there knows anything about electrical shorts in Grands?

Well not sure quite why Jeep people do not like to talk about electical shorts, but I will try to shead some light on it, so to speak. I have 4 jeeps cj, yj, xj and zj. all off them have had some kinda of electical problem, but nothing serious, just enoying, what I have found is that a good off road trip for a few hrs, the problem goes away. but another one will show up. The power locks on my cherokees, are the worse problems, I have always felt that the worse accesorys on any 4x4 is power locks, they just cannot take the off roading, my yj cuts out all its lights when I am on high beam, oh well sometimes it is fun driving on a trail with no lights, for a few mins, my cherokee and grand cherokee is of course the power locks fail. When I trouble shoot these problems, I find it in the switches, light switch, power lock switch and the most have been it the steering colum, ie, turn signel arm switch. will just a few hints, hope they help. but remember all jeeps are haunted. jeepaz
