on my grand cherokee vic (vehicle identification center) screen it keeps shuting off after a while or every 3 days...then pops back on and I have to reset the date and time and all....is this is loose wire? or should I just unplug the whole thing? and remove the whole box???? .....its annoying to reset it every few days

VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
Several fuses supply power to the Vehicle Information Center (VIC) When the ignition switch is in the RUN position it connects circuit A1 from fuse 8 in the PDC to circuit A22. Circuit A22 feeds circuit F83 through fuse 6 in the junction block. Circuit F83 supplies voltage to the VIC.
Circuit A7 from fuse 15 in the PDC powers circuit F60 through fuse 20 in the junction block. Circuits A7 and F60 are HOT at all times. Circuit F60 feeds the VIC.
VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Vehicle Information Center (VIC) is an available option on Grand Cherokee models. The VIC module replaces the standard equipment Graphic Display Module. The VIC is mounted in the lower center stack area of the instrument panel, above the ash receiver and below the climate controls.
The VIC consists of a multi-colored vacuum fluorescent display screen with a vehicle outline. The VIC is able to display four functions in a choice of five languages. The display functions include:
Current time (12 or 24 hour clock), day, and date
Monitor specific vehicle operating systems and alert the driver of a malfunction in a monitored system
Provide service reminders or the distance to the next service interval
The current transfer case mode of operation.
The display language choices include:
English
French
German
Italian
Spanish.
The VIC receives input from hard-wired sensors and over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network. In response to these inputs the VIC offers a combination of graphic and message displays, and provides requests for audible chime alerts to the body control module on the CCD data bus.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information on the VIC controls, operation, and setting procedures. For diagnosis of the VIC module or the CCD data bus, refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual. The VIC module cannot be repaired. If damaged or faulty, the entire module must be replaced.
Circuit A6 from fuse 13 in the PDC powers circuit 366 through fuse 17 in the junction block. Circuit 366 connects to the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or LOW position, it connects circuit 366 to circuit L90. Circuit L90 connects to the VIC. Circuit E2 from the Body Control Module (BCM) powers the illumination lamps in the VIC.
Circuits Z1 and Z2 provide ground for the VIC.
TRANSFER CASE RANGE DISPLAY
When the transfer case is in either 4WD Low, Part Time 4WD, or Full Time it connects circuit G28 from the Vehicle Information Center (VIC) to ground on circuit Z1. In response, the VIC illuminates the 4WD display.
When the transfer case switch is in 4WD Low, it connects circuit G28 from the VIC to ground on circuit Z1. In addition to illuminating the 4WD display, the VIC also illuminates the LOW display.
When the transfer case switch is in Part Time 4WD position, it connects circuit T107 from the VIC to ground on circuit Z1. In addition to illuminating the 4WD display, the VIC also illuminates the PART TIME display.
When the transfer case switch is in Full Time 4WD position, it connects circuit T106 from the VIC to ground on circuit Z1. In addition to illuminating the 4WD display, the VIC also illuminates the FULL TIME display.
LAMP OUTAGE
Circuit G46 connects from the Lamp Outage Module (LOM) to the Vehicle Information Center (VIC) Circuit G46 supplies the rear lamp out signal to the VIC.
LOW WASHER FLUID WARNING
When the low washer fluid switch closes, it connects circuit G29 from the VIC to ground on circuit Z1. The VIC displays the Low Washer Fluid warning when the switch closes.
LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING
When the engine coolant level switch closes, it connects circuit G18 from the VIC to ground on circuit Z1. The VIC displays the Low Coolant Level warning when the switch closes.
DOOR AJAR AND LIFTGATE AJAR DISPLAYS
Each door and the liftgate have an ajar switch that connects to the Body Control Module (BCM) The BCM senses when the liftgate or a door opens, and sends the a signal to the VIC on the CCD bus. In response, the VIC displays which door is open. The VIC communicates with the BCM over the CCD bus on circuits D1 and D2.
