2006 Cherokee all dashboard light flicker then go off. No gauges work no A/C or turn signals. Stopped and restarted and gauges work and everything is fine although the check engine light might be on however it goes off eventually. What is wrong?

Asked by tvuke Aug 30, 2014 at 03:18 PM about the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The dashboard would flicker and the engine grinded.  It lasted only  a few minutes and then no gauges would work, no A/C, no turn signals.  Jeep would still drive. Would stop the jeep and start it up and usually everything works except the check engine light would be on.  After a few more starts the check engine light would be off.  Sounds like an electrical issue?
