Default 07 JK stall/ wont start

Was out trailing hit a puddle, nothing big, an it stalled; turned over fine and went along hit another puddle slowly and it died just clicking from the starter but it sound like its engaging, radio works along with lights 15 min pass and lights are out and nothing will turn on, put charge on battery over night and ASD relay is clicking, swap it out still nothing, won't even turn over, or crank pull starter and check it on battery it engages and seems to work great. Turn my key 3times to check DTC code and one comes up P0562 which decoded " battery voltage low" checked terminals and battery seems to hold charge and won't start worth a damn still even tried to jump it..... Any suggestions??? Tomorrow gonna check all sensors and clean them

Could be as simple as a bad ground. There are lots of them to look at. Try running an additional ground wire from the battery negative terminal to a mount bolt on the alternator bracket.

Also, if your battery is old, it's probably not up to the task.
A really bad battery won't accept a jump.

Might even work if you just let it dry out.

Pull the battery, have it load tested at your local auto parts store.

I had this happen last spring. Jeep was towed home, sat for about 6 hours and it started up. It threw a code one time (don't exactly remember what it was, not a battery code) never to return. Started up after the 6 hour drying and has been fine since. Would really like to find what caused it as I don't think a puddle on the road should be able to kill the Jeep!

Well nothing has worked at all still same result and burned the starter motor in the process sounds like it engages and can't move the flywheel and burns itself up. Tried what y'all recommended as well

So are you saying the engine is like froze up or just some kind of electrical prob ? Pull the plugs put a breaker bar on the crank
And see if you can turn it over. Might just be a fluke.

Sounds like an issue i had... Although i was buried deep in water for a period of time as opposed to just slamming a puddle, water is common here. I had water in my tank... Regardless your issues sound identical to mine.

It's acting like it froze up but I don't understand why all of a sudden it would just die, no warning lights check engine lights no nothing... Gonna try and crank it over manually thou.
