'99 XJ Power locks work intermittently
Hi everyone,
So i bought my Cherokee about a year ago and the power locks/windows functioned fine (other then the window lock button, I did the override hack). After a few months occasionally the power lock wouldn't lock, you can hear the solenoids clicking but the locks do not engage. At first it was no big deal because i happened so rarely but it became more and more of an everyday accordance and it has gotten to the point where it will rarely lock. This happens with both the key fob and the actual switches.
I have noticed they seem to start working after i go to the car wash for a day or two but that doesn't make any sense to me if the were dirty i doubt all five locks wouldn't work at the same time.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!

I'd say if they worked, then a few months later were intermittent, that you should recheck your wiring you did to accomplish the bypass.
