This is a common problem with the vehicle information center. There is a fix for this. They show several ways to accomplish this on Youtube. Basically you need to remove the VIC and take it apart. Then solder the two solder joints where they have cracked loose. This happens over time. Easy fix. I have done this on several friends Jeeps. Once the solder joints are redone and power is supplied to the VIC everything will work again.

    My 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee was given to me by a friend. No key fob, no battery. I can not get the car to crank. It will turn over but, seems like the fuel delivery system is disabled.
