Still running stock battery, if so that's it. I have heard several cases of the stock battery giving up and still testing fine. These new jeeps have some strange electrical issues.

yeah,I just had my stock battery go...it tested fine and it would jump off easy, but charging never kept it going for more than a day. Bought a yellow top cranked everytime since I got it in there.

Holy crap, that sucks.
On another note, I had this problem a while back too. Go to start the jeep, hear the normal sounds and then nothing, even cabin electricals disappeared. When I opened up the hood to check it out I just had simply touched the battery cables and I heard all my electricals come back on. Happened to me maybe 10 times before it went away, weird. Touching the cables worked every time. Next time, try touching your negative cable, see if that works.
