Smile 2002 GC Limited EVIC not working

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum, and had a quick question that hopefully someone knows the answer to.

I just bought an 02 Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 V8. The truck runs great, and everything works except the EVIC in the overhead console, which shows you all vital vehicle information. The lights around it work and light up, but the actual screen itself is totally dead. I tried to reset it based off of some threads on here, but it didn't work. I've read that the Light Blue 15AMP #8 Fuse could do the trick...is there any truth to that? I also live in Chicago, and it's very cold...does this have anything to do with it?

Any help would be great. I need this thing to work so I can know what's going on with my car.

Thanks!

No, his whole system is out! See if there is a fuse for it under the dash. I think there's a cover to the left of the steering column.

Welcome to CF. Follow theses steps for the EVIC Self Test Modes. >->http://www.wjjeeps.com/evic.htm#TEST

I didn't see anything shown where there were any fuses or relays for it. >->http://www.wjjeeps.com/fuses.htm
