Angry JK just rooted itself
Have a 2011 Jeep JK Unlimited I bought just over a year ago. Have had one issue after another.

First, had the infamous death wobble. A few mechanics and a couple grand later I got the motherf@%cker fixed.

Had some other misc issues, but now another big one has hit out of no where. Had a mate hook up to run some diagnostics and read error codes.

There were about 6 error codes... CAN bus, ABS, HVAC, ESC, etc...

Cleared codes, Jeep seemed to function like normal again for a bit. Woke up, next morning same issues.

Definitely is an electrical issue, all error lights show on instrument cluster. Speedometer, fuel gauge, turn signals, and headlights, etc do not work... but the MOTHERF@%CKING windscreen wipers do!! See the video I recorded below:
https://youtu.be/Dp_Vi9VGgKw

I am at loss for what this could be. My mechanic friend had no idea, so I went to dealership and have to wait 2 weeks to get it looked at. Any ideas what this could possibly be? Oh, and the headlight positioning goes up and down even after ignition is off and power seems cut. This bloody thing is demon possessed!

Many humble thanks for insight and feedback. Cheers!

I wish it was that easy of a fix, but I don't think it would be that. Jeep fires up right away, over and over. Wouldn't there be some sign of a faulty battery when turning ignition? Thanks

Very much a stab in the dark but the TIPM has a bit of a bad record for doing strange and inexplicable things and just dying.

Loose earth connection. Tighten up all earths. It's worth a look at.

Could also have corrosion on the TIPM contacts, I've heard this can cause weird issues like this.

Yeah this was causing all the dash lights to come up on mine while driving, speedo and i think the tacho would cut out as well. Was always just momentary for me except for the ESC which required off and on with the key to revive
