Jeep won't start and ETC light is on!
Haven't notice my jeep running rough or anything odd, but just went to move it and no cranky. Just a click and the electronic throttle control light stays lit up. What are my options and PLEASE say there is something besides "take it to the dealer" because its not under warranty any more

cheap and easy first; test battery at autozone. My last 08 did that, lights were plenty bright, etc...put charger on anyhow and still nothing. turns out battery had bad cell; enough juice for everything except to crank it.

It turn out to be ground problem. They added another ground cable from the engine to the nagative on your battery. Hope this help.
What year is yours? I have an 11 and it did this to me just last week at a friends house I have the dull batteries and everything I took the cable off the battery for a few then put it back on and jump started it it's been working fine since not sure what the deal was but since you said that about the grounding i know what I'm doing this weekend
