Flashing lights and chimes, then Jeep dies
 
Hi everyone, I need your help please! My 2007 3.8L Auto JK started having electrical issues while I am driving. The lights in the dash will all flash, and the chimes will sound, then about 15-20 seconds later the Jeep dies and does not have any electrical power at all (won’t click, no lights on, nothing). If I wait for a few minutes, it will turn back on and run fine. It happens about every time I drive it, usually after a couple miles of driving.

The battery checks good and I tightened the terminals down and don’t have excessive corrosion on the terminals.

This problem surfaced after I washed the engine bay, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if I got something too wet. I used a garden hose on low pressure and didn’t spray directly on electrical components. I removed the PCM and opened it up just to be sure, it didn’t have any shorts that I could see.

Has as anyone else seen this? What could it be?

(bump) Nobody has experienced this before, or knows what could be causing it?

I've not heard of this before, but it does sound like you've got a problem with the TIPM.

This sounds like it could be an alternator issue. You can check your alternator with a multimeter to be sure...another thing it could be is the crankshaft position sensor, not an uncommon problem with these cars. Edit: after reading your issue again I am almost certain this is either the alternator or battery. Did you have the battery tested under load? Just putting a meter on it to check voltage wont show if the battery is actually faulty.
