Default Please help with this one-jeep dead

Im fed up. My warranty ran out 1500 miles ago and ive had nothing but computer issues since. I went to start the jeep tonight and nothing! No dash lights, no clicking, nothing. The odometer and temp are only lights that came on and they were dim. popped open hood and it sounded like fuse box was havin a party. all kinds of clicking comin from fuse box. tried disconecting battery and all. battery charger says battery is fully charged. wont start, wont evn turn radio on. WTF!

i assume youve actually checked inside the fusebox to see if anyhting was fried.


also see if you can get it to spit out codes thru the turn key method

Check the Ignition connector plug underneath the steering wheel. Black box w/red tab and corrugated tubing protecting a few wires. I knocked it w/my knee once disconnecting @ least one of the wires. If any of them get messed up the Jeep will show the same symptoms you're having. It's a long shot but who knows

Did you check the little fuse with the white wings that you need to pull up for towing? That sounds like the same thing that happens when I pull that fuse up.

Not sure if its the security one. Its the one with the white casing that can be popped up and down.
