Some Jeep Patriot owners report experiencing issues with lights, blinkers, and wipers not functioning even when the fuses are intact. These problems may sometimes be temporarily alleviated by resetting the battery, which involves disconnecting the negative terminal for a few minutes. Additionally, the malfunction could be linked to the turn signal switch, which manages the operation of the headlights and wipers; if the wiper fuse is confirmed to be fine, replacing the turn signal switch might be necessary. Another potential cause could be the assembly under the steering wheel at the top of the steering column, where various electrical connections for the turn signals, wipers, and other components are situated. Diagnosing these issues promptly is crucial for restoring full functionality to the Jeep Patriot.
