    Rear Glass latch won't open via handle

    I did check continuity and I got nothing. maybe a quick bleep on the multi-meter after few clicks of the switch but that's about it. During the Summer time the rear glass would randomly pop if the jeep was unlocked. further more the latch would continuously activate even after it's open. Maybe...

    ESP issues... maybe... ???

    I had all those lights come earlier this year. The TC,ESP and ABS where all disabled. It was a bad ABS sensor. My mechanic took care of it for about $85 (diagnosing, part and install). Question though. When you say CC, Do you mean TC for Traction Control?CC doesn't ring a bell for me.
