This is definitely a concern especially as vehicles get more and more electronic. And why I almost prefer a basic vehicle at times. My dad had a 2019 ram 3500 with the infotainment system that got friend from an over the air update by Dodge that he couldnt even opt out of. It required a brand new head unit. It was so jacked it was draining his battery at night and he had to physically pull the 80a fuse for the whole head unit. Replacement was under warranty luckily because the head unit was like 1200 bucks, and the labor was something like 3 hours.
The clusters online go for anywhere between 500-700ish? I think. Problem is you can’t order one. Dealership has to order it and the Jeep has to be in their possession to ensure it’s not being driven as they get the mileage programmed to the new cluster. I would’ve fixed this myself already if I could get around this somehow!
I mostly disassembled it when it first happened about a month ago. Then I spoke to someone at a local Jeep shop and they told me they wouldn’t even mess with it. Because the gauge clusters in these jeeps pretty much are the BCM for the vehicle. So I was afraid to look into it more. With my luck I’d make it worse or something to the point where it can’t be driven haha
Wow I didn't know that. Thats pure insanity! Well..just another bullet point encouraging me to buy a AEV TJ brute.
Let me know how much it ends up costing.
How much is the warranty and how long is it good for?
So what are you going to do?
check out this thread. Granger’s got some pretty good pricing, and if you click the link to the website they posted, you can see how much each warranty costs.
I went to the site but they don't have a warranty option for a 2020 model.
That’s probably because 2020s are out of warranty. Try emailing them for a quote. His email is in that thread somewhere
