    Interior lights stay on mosto of the time. Problem ahas progressed from sometime to most of the time. Now, power windows and door locks do not work. Initially on drivers door window and door lock stopped working. Now all stopped working.

    check out this webpage for a solution that seems to have worked for others. it was a loose wire. I am going to attempt to fix this bug, and if I am successful, then I will try to post details.

    I have the same problem. My son checked all the fuses last night and found nothing. However, the lights did start working correctly again, but the windows and locks still do not work. Help! I can't really afford to take it to the shop. Is this something that can be fixed by my son?

It has to be a broken wire! Initially, I lost the door locks & power to the windows ONLY when the drivers door was open. When I closed the door, the problem went away. Finally, I had the problem all the time. I checked for 12 vdc at the switch in the drivers door and there was NO POWER. In the rubber boot (between the car & door) I found the grey wire (with a pink stripe) was broken internally but the INSULATION WAS NOT!!!

I had the same problem. With these Jeeps it is common for a wire or two to break in the rubber accordion thing running from the body to the door in the jam.

Power windows stopped working and dome lights stay on. Power locks work only with the "clicker" but not on driver door

Look under the hood fuse no. 12 should be for power windows. Or maybe something like a bad ground wire in drivers door harness.

Wiring Loom between door and body breaks internally. Take the car to an Auto Electrician and they can repair the loom. It is quite a common problem.

I have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and none of the windows will work and the over head light will not turn off.all the fuses are still good aswell

if your fuses are good check for voltage at the window motor if that is good your problem is in your circut. if your dome light will not shut off that implies that there is a bad switch.

I had this same problem but no sunroof on mine. there is a bundle of wires that goes into the door and if the power wire breaks and the power window lockout was pushed when it happens no windows work and the dome lights stay on on mine it happened on the drivers side it was an easy fix i took the door panel off and unpluged the harnes and pulled it through the inside of the jeep and spliced the wire back together and it has been working since.

I have a 2004 Jeep Cherokee and after I've closed the door and am in the vehicle driving my dome lights remain on and the power windows don't work.

I had the same problem with my 2004 Jeep Cherokee and took it to a mechanic. They said that 2 wires had broke in 3 of my doors causing the loss of power in the doors. They fixed it for me, but it was pretty price at around 300 :(
