electrical issues, dtc codes lost powering steering, stuck on acc mode

Did you change out your Can bus blocks yet. Do that. It's a simple replacement. Because if it's not a Can bus it could be a spring clock collar in your steering column. But with everything else happening, I would do the Can bus behind the glove box.

dealership checked that, they pulled all the pins no corrosion .

I had issues until I replaced the green can bus block. When I examined the old one, I could not see any corrosion or damage to it. It still could be the culprit in your case. $13 on ebay and 10 minutes to replace. It's worth trying.

I have put precisely 5,913 miles on it since replacing the green block and have had zero issues. I know the precise mileage because I just finished an oil change and I document the mileage whenever I do anything.

Look fella. They are cheap and easy to replace. You can't tell if they are bad. Even if open them up. It could be a bad solder job or the resister is bad. But they are all connected together. If one spot is bad you will get crazy Christmas lights and wierd mechanical issues.

Dealer ship can't do a test on Can Bus.

ask them to replace the can bus plug in the glove box. This issue is getting more and more common. most the time people on the forums learn faster than that of the mechanics at the dealership. for 13 bucks what do you have to loose? I understand that its frustrating but it is fixable. plus you can laugh it off at the dealer that the guys on the forums who have had the same issue fixed theirs already

Don't be scared. The Blocks are easy to access and replace. And there is no specific order they go in. Except on the white block. There is a larger plug, but obvious where that goes. If you don't fix the issue you be kicking yourself in the nutts. Dealerships are not the smartest fellows on the block. And they are ripping you off. The dash has no need to come apart. If you have a bunch of codes happening at once. It's not because parts are failing at the same time. Impossible. It's because the the thing that ties it altogether has failed. The Can Buss is that thing. It's not in their TBS reports, so they won't even mention it. Or buy the blocks and have another shop do it for you. Probably cost 50 bucks. You can't loose.

And have them try a new CANBUS plug first! Before tearing open the dash which definitely won't be cheap.

Jeep doesn't care or this wouldn't be happening in the first place. A vehicle should not possibly kill the operator because of bad engineering.

I have this same issue what’s the fix now it won’t even start it’s all black dash

I had all of those also. But after replacing the canbus blocks and checking the connectors. (To see if the glove box pulled on the wires) The only messages I have is power steering. But my power steering is still working. So I started out cheap and will take it to a actual tech soon once I'm sure it's only power steering. Waiting to make sure these codes don't change and no new ones pop up.

You ended up replacing the power steering pump? How involved was that job - was it a costly repair? Trying to narrow down the can bus glitching issue on my rig now but I seem to get every error/service message under the sun except power steering, and I don't think I lost any steering authority when the glitching happens. Ordering the bus blocks this week.
