I'm pretty sure this is indicative of a BCM but it's intermittent and always happens when I am away from my tools. Ignore my rambling I'm weird as hell.

 
It is a 25 year old Chrysler.

Jokes aside - I see your climate clock is flashing to reset the time. Maybe a dying battery issue?

I disconnected the battery before this was recorded to reset the BCM and ECU to try and get the window up. That resets it.
 
Check your ground wires. Battery to frame and cab. I had a lot of trouble with my new jeep GC. Many trips to dealer.
Turned out to bad grounds.

Check your grounds, and your battery cables. A family member had one of these (ZJ) that was doing something similar. It ended up being the battery cable ends kept loosening on the battery and were making a poor connection. I replaced the cable ends and the issue stopped.
 
On these sometimes the battery cable clamps crack and cause low voltage, I replaced both of mine on our ‘98 Grand. What I did was cut off the old clamps, crimp on cable terminals with a heavy duty crimping tool and bolt on marine grade battery clamps. These separate clamps can be easily replaced when they get corroded.

Other causes:
Bad grounds
Bad ignition switch

Head over to www.jeepforum.com and post this question on the ZJ Grand Cherokee forum I’m sure someone will have an answer.
