2002 Jeep Grande Cherokee overhead console has no... (by 3 users)

Had the same problem. Overhead console had no display. Took it in and and mechanic said the circuit board had shorted out. Took down console myself and found that a couple of the wires from the ribbon cable to the circuit board had become broken. Cut out broken section and soldered in new wires. Overhead console working fine now. Saved myself over $650.

My overhead display is blank. is this a light bulb or burnt out crystal in display or something else?
