Hi Everyone
Just had my TIPM Module replaced. I was driving down the road and everything went on lights wipers so on . Then wipers and door locks quit working. Took truck in and then it would not start for them. Well over the last 2 years it would not start for me about 10 times. I waited and then it started. So if anyone is having trouble take truck in. It has a recall on the TIPM Module.

I know what you feel right now cause i'd experience that kind of problem. I was in highway when evrything is moving i mean the wipers both front & rear doing there flashing lights all doors horn windshields washer its freek me out but still running. I called dealer and they said just continue driving it will stop after 5mins. Right now Dealer will change the TIPM but i dont no if this will fix the problem. One more thing my power door lock is working but if you lock the doors using remote is not working..

Are you by chance the original owner of your Nitro? (I believe this would be covered under the lifetime warranty if so?) If not, I believe there was also a TIPM recall that addressed the issue.

Either way, this seems like a serious safety issue, and I would take it to the dealer immediately to have it checked out. (God forbid it acts up on you while at hwy speeds, the results would not be good!)
