Is you battery junk. It sounds like a low voltage condition when you turn on your lights.

The switch and wiring for your rock lights, did you run this switch and wiring yourself? If so, disconnect the power to this switch and wiring then test everything, except for your rock lights of course. If everything is fine then check all of your rock light wiring. If everything is still jacked up, disconnect your battery and wait 30 seconds. Reconnect the battery and try again.

Take out the rock lights and remove wiring for them...? I think that was the consensus

Ya, disconnecting the battery will reset the computer which might clear it all up.

Disconnecting the battery didn't work. This is what is displaying on my dash now Click image for larger version

The Jeep still won't turn over. All it does is click. FML

I would take out the wiring for the rock lights, but I don't think that would help. I mean if I disconnected the wires from the button and the rock lights aren't getting any power and my Jeep is still effed up doesn't that mean that taking the rock lights out wouldn't help?

Damn. I think the only other option you have is to remove all of the rock light wiring. I am out of ideas after that. Do you know anyone with a code scanner or is there a parts store near by with one?

Wait, I really think that is a dead battery. My LJ did a similar thing when the battery was toasted. Grab a battery from a friends car or something. The battery was only two years old when my LJ did that.

I have a voltage gauge in my Jeep. When I put the key in and turn it on, the voltage goes up to 14 and then goes straight back down to 0
