Radio goes in-and-out, cruise control doesn't always work, and tire pressure alerts come and go

[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 428349, member: 18868"] Also this was a used Jeep and I am assuming you have no knowledge of the P.O's and what they've done to it in the past. Possibly someone had another HU in it and cut the wiring harness up. Then when they traded it or sold it, they spliced it all back together without soldering or proper care? If you remove the radio from the dash, check to see if some other P.O. didn't use a plug-in harness kit and "hacked" it all up, it would be good to know what you're up against. I have seen all kinds of things as a former shop owner and electronics specialist, if it were mine, I'd want to know. Does the JK have any warranty left on it or is there a guarantee from the outfit you bought it from against it being a lemon out of the gate? Check to see what they say but first and foremost, I would check the harness behind the radio in the dash for Prior Owner tampering and that the plugs to the back of the radio are all seated properly, not coming out or half unplugged.
