pull and test your starter, mud/sand is probably in it stopping the gear from comming out and engaging on the flywheel, I think it is called you bedex. After we sunk my buddies chev he couldnt start his truck when we took the starter out the opening where the gear is was completely packed.

Ok. After hooking up the battery, here are my most obvious issues.
Relays K1, K5, K10 click repeatedly without stopping.
Butterfly on intake valve slightly opens and closes.
Hazards still flash.
This is all while the key is off
Engine still doesn't start.
Dash shows me in all gears.

disconnect battery
clean around the computer connector then disconnect it and inspect for water/debris/etc.-if u find any water clean and flush it with lots of alcohol(not beer, not whisky, not vodka) and allow to evaporate for several hours then reconnect.
checking all grounds (motor to body, body to frame, body and frame to battery) for good connection.
if water got into the fuse/relay box then u are in for a time-remove all and flush with alcolhol and allow to evap(can u tell im fond of alcohol? i like the way it makes water boil away)-relays may be toast. autozone carries them.
if still no go then---remove all the fuse/relays and reinsert one at a time-- chasing down the circuit that acts up as it powers up.
dont forget the dash itself.....lots of fun there
if u need help onsite just shoot me a pm before this weekend and i might be able to come out and help troubleshoot circuits and clean the connections. me and my trusty fluke voltmeter!! also have a obdII scanner/code reader available!!
AND we would have a working JK to compare against!
Im not an expert on JK's, just water damaged circuits(had my go around with chevy's) so ill help if i can!

well, everybody.
I hope everything works out.
I just dont think Im ready to handle the possible outcomes for it,
so i might have to wait a bit before I go further.
Theres just too much going on right now for me to have to face the Jeep being dead forever.
Ill post any updates as they occur.
