Default Battery Light

I never had my JK stall, but got the recall done. However, once in a while (usually when driving <30 mph), the lights on the dash turn on and turn off quickly and the battery light stays on until I restart the Jeep. Any ideas???

OK. Well I checked the code and I do have one:
P2504 CHARGING SYSTEM OUTPUT HIGH

What do you think that means? Faulty alternator?

Let me know what happens, Mine started the same thing a few days ago. I also noticed that when the light was on, I could not turn the fog lamps on. Re-started it, and it was fine.

Twice in the past month, I have started it and the ESP & traction control lights stay on too.

I've already had the rear-main seal replaced after 500 miles, and in the summer, the clutch decided not to work after being parked for an hour, the pedal was just limp. That was the slave cylinder? Wierd, there was no leaking fluid to be seen, and it was not a gradual loss, just parked it fine then it was gone.

Did you check your codes?
If not, this is how you do it: Code Checker

Nice check to know...

Mine turned up P2503 & oddly enough, P2504 too... Charging system too high, and too low... WTF.

It averages out to be ok. I wouldn't worry about it.
