I've had the same issue on my 08 for about a year now. Battery is new and usually I wait a few mins up to half hour, then it starts. I figured it was the starter but will check ground wire and plugs.

Novae21, I bought my 08 just when they instituted the Lifetime Power Train Warranty, so I did not purchase anything additional. In fact, will get the 5 year inspection done when they replace the range sensor switch. I've got 67,000 on it. Been a good Jeep, change oil and rotate and balance tires every 5,000, change front and rear axles every 20,000, transfer case done @ 40,000, transmission done @ 55,000 and plugs/wires/pcv valve replaced @ 60,000. Maintenance is the key.

Hey,
Pardon my automotive ignorance. My Jeep engine died tonight, and I can't get it going again.
Check out this video of the engine as I try and start 'er up:
Jeep Engine Trouble - YouTube
Any ideas? Starting motor? Battery?
The electrical system is cutting out, lights flickering etc. It's a 2008 2dr auto.
Help would be appreciated.
Here's what the dash is telling me:

The ground wire seamed to fix my no start issue. It think the next thing I will do is upgrade all batt wires starter wire and grounds. Maybe to a #4 like the ones on me golf cart.
