Check engine light on after all dash light lit up

My first guess would be the headlight dimmer switch,,but check the lighting module to be sure

Jeep has always had a problem down the line with the shifter linkage usuallly under the shifter, you have to take apart the console or column and locate whats broken inside there. I've had this issue myself with Cherokees too .

Any ABS Light on dash?

Okay, wish you would of listed the code # but thats okay, the way you explained it sounds like the gear selector switch is bad, this switch is located on the side of ******, the computer and ****** think its in d3 this is cause most of the time 90% of the time to a bad selector switch also called a neutral safety switch,

replace switch reset codes and check ****** fluid , not sure how far you drove like this but if fluid is brunt i would have it flushed, not drain and fill but flushed, a BG flush.

I think with a flush and selector switch you will be all set, good day.

There is a recall on your tranny take it to a Jeep dealer and tell them you waant the tranny recall done ours did the same thing, there is some seal that goes bad.

Also, I quote this comments form other owners with this problem:
Our 2005 grand cherokee had tranny poblems at 30,000 mi. It was a bearing in the trans. They rebuilt it under warranty. the symptoms: when you shift from park to drive and step on the gas there was a delay and it would bang onto gear. They said this was a problem on a lot of Laredos. Now at 50,000 more tranny problems. not shifting right, the engine light is on and it lights up around all of the tranny indicators on the dash PRND will all be lit up. After several trips to the dealer it is the Trans Control module or TCM at a cost of 400.00 and of course not covered in the 70,000 mi warranty.

Them, I suggtes scanned the TCM for any stored codes there.

Good luck.

my jeep does the same thing. do you know if your 3rd tail light is out? i have a theory.

I got the same problem.. Where do we find the ESM??

Check fuse panel, under dash, as well as under hood. Owners manual should also give you map of fuses. May say"park" lights, "running lights", or something similar.

Neutral safety switch just slam the shifter into park then try it again or start in Neutral, or replace it.

it is a problem with the electric panel...i had the same problem with my jeep grand cherokee 2005 and took it to the dealer and they covered it under the warranty
