Re: 2000 Jeep Cherokee dash
 

Hi
I have been looking all over the place and you described precisely how
my 99 jeep cherokee is behaving. I've also lost power windows, locks,
and the overhead computer as well. It has been sporadic, but it seems
to be getting worse. I get 2 error codes from the switch, 1686 (No
messages received from the Smart Key Immobilizer Module) and 1687 (No
messages received from the Mechanical Instrument Cluster module).

Just wondering if you had ever figured out the problem, I'd like to
avoid the $$ for the dealer diagnostic.

Thanks for the help,
M
