JLUR electrical problems!

[Ren]

Hello fellow jeepers, first time jeep owner first post here.
I have a 2018 JL sahara, currently sitting around 5000 miles. The first 4000 miles was trouble-free even throughout the 2000+ miles road trip I took. However within the past couple weeks I started to experience issues such as the 8 inches screen freezing, blind spot monitor stop working at random, along with glitching in rolling up both the driver and passenger side window(can't roll them up, coexist when blind spot monitor stops working).
All of the above issues fixed itself by either turning off the car for couple hours or a night, or sometimes within minutes.
I'll be visiting the dealership this following week, and am wondering if anyone has experience similar issues?

For the windows and Lind spot monitor I would start looking at the door wiring coupler to make sure it is plugged in and seated correctly. When the windows failed did you try the rear windows? I personally love dialectic grease. I have been in the process of disconnecting the electrical connections and applying dialectic grease to seal out all moisture.

Check all your fuses under the hood and push them in.
JL's are really bad for the fuses not seated and I have to check mine once a month.

I've read about the fuse issues. Funny story, I spent 10 mins double checking every fuse and firmly pushed them in, then got in the wrangler and the same issue occurred right away. x.x

Sounds like a trip to the dealer then. Updating the TSB-18-041-18 REV B or C noisy AC fan also make improvements to my electrical gremlins as well.
If the dealer refuses to apply this TSB then get Jeep Cares involved.
Also check your ground wire from the battery and fuse box as my dealer stated these were not very tight.

Just thinking outside the box here, but also have the dealer check the battery. Some of the new vehicles go completely stupid if the battery is bad. I have a GM plastic car that will flip it's wig with a weak battery. Good luck.
