Did you ever try pulling and re-inserting the M13 fuse to see if that works?

True, seems to have the dealers baffled though. Maybe the aftermarket will figure it out.

Default they have added fuel to the fire

today i get a call from my dealer asking me to pay for the service. i said no way! they said well our computer shows a full warranty suspension. i will need to call chrysler and ask why. i contact the indian ladys at chrysler and they have my warranty voided because the oversized tires. well duh i understand if my axles are voided but what does that have to do with the computers or electrical system? the little indian lady was baffled . i call my service manager and ask him why he voided my entire warranty over a previously broken axel shaft. i said it wasnt him. i contact chrysler again and speak with a MANAGER i asked him whats the deal what do the tires have to do with the computer he said he didnt know. he contacted my service manager and finally came to the actualization that the effed up. they put in a request to uplift the voided warranty but they dont know how long it will take . so the dealership wont work on the jeep till it is completely resolved.

okay white widow i know toad said to rock it and toad this worked for me and it hasnt happened since.

White widow try taking out the starter fuse for 30 seconds and then put it back in and it should start up. If these dont work then you have an entirely different problem....


EDIT***** OH SNAP i just read through the entire thread and see my second idea was shot down. It sucks that they have no cure for this yet.

well the white widow is home (for now). makes me nervous to know that others are having this problem and have not come to a certain reason why this is happening. hope it never happens again.
