This morning when I tried to crank my Jeep she sounded like the battery was dead then the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Bells and whistles went off and then it went dark and silent. Tried the switch again and now the bells wouldn't stop so I unhooked the battery. Did my computer take a dump?

 

Nope. Your battery is shot. Get a new battery and you will be back on the road

 

X2. Get 'er fixed up yet?

 

You should try taking a wire brush to the terminals and the cable connections first. Might be a simple fix (had it happen to me before).

 

It was the battery. I had it tested and it was shot. Never had the dash go all crazy like that on any car when the battery died. Back in business now. Thanks

 

Welcome to the wonderful world that is JEEP!

 

I feel your pain. It seems once the battery goes below a threshold, the computer makes darn well sure that it's dead. Awesome software in these things.
