Where did you connect the ground on the alternator and how did you run the wire? I just started having this issue saw that my Battery terminal were a bit rusted and had some corossion.

Do you have any pics? Mine started this about two months ago and I have been scratching my head on it. New battery and I thought it might be starter but this sounds a bit more likely.

Took the jeep into the dealer and they said they think it's the WCM no codes just wishful thinking. They want $540 ! That's a lot for a guess but I have tried everything else and am out of options. They are also putting a grounding strap from the starter to the frame, I have already put on 2.

I have an 07 & it does the same thing
took it in (dealer) 3 different time they check my starter and said it was fine so they said I need a new battery, so I bought a big one (mopar) . the same problem happend the next day
! took it in the next week and then they said it was the starter???
I bought a starter because they said the code popped up this time, 2 hours and $750 later (battery and starter) it did it agian
so right then and there I called the dealer and ripped them a new ass!!!!! went home google a dozen forums about this, found out its been going on for a long time to ALOT of JKs. Called to speak with the Dealer shop manager & he played stupid said he was not aware of this issue, said he'd look into it, I had to call him back! said it 'might' be one of like 7 things, starter , battery, module, sensors, main computer , ignition switch etc! trial and error
..... I got a new battery and starter and it still does it. I found that if I make sure the radio is off , push in the ignition while I turn the key and if it does that agian I shift from park to neutral a few times fast and then turn the key and it starts every time . Good luck
