Default all indictor lights came on and gauges stopped working ?????

I have a 2011 JKU rubicon 4.5 aev lift 35 inch tires 4.56 gears... my problem is today while driving down the highway all my indicator lights would flash and chime, and then stayed on, i mean esc light air bag light battery all of them, as well as oil pressure gauge, speedo and tach stopped working. one by one they seemed to go off and gauges started working by the time i got home... Any thoughts??? i leaning towards a wheel sensor or abs maybe?? but just wondering if this has happen to anyone or someone could point me in the right direction before i start to go fishing

Sounds like a power failure. Check your battery connections.

Check all the grounds. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight.

This happened to me when my alternator failed. Exact same thing happened. Systems start dying as the battery voltage drops. Eventually the motor will stop running. Glad you made it home. I bet if you get the battery and or alternator checked, one of them is toast.

I've had similar symptoms since October. Done a lot of reading about it on forums. Sounds like top 2 causes are loose battery connections or failed clock spring in the steering wheel.

Just had mine in the shop for it yesterday but they couldn't relocate it and it wasn't throwing any codes. I guess I'm going to have to start filming it for them.
