My tach would also flip out and the speedo would go to zero and back up again.

Turned out the TIPM was bad. Funny thing is I also just had my wifes TIPM changed in her 2011 as well. Weird.

My battery did die as in completely dead (wouldn't hold a charge at all), so I replaced it. Unfortunately, I'm still having the problem. Based on your picture the red light all the way to the right comes on (which somebody mentioned was a security feature with the key) but the tire light comes on too simultaneously. They stay lit for a few seconds then go away, then come back, then go away, so on and so forth.

I guess I'll have to take it to the dealership when I actually have the time to do it, make sure my key isn't going bad.

I've noticed this happens on my 08 Jeep as well. I use both keys quite frequently so maybe it's confusing the security system? I still have the original battery as well. I'm curious to see if anyone finds out what this means...
