Starting Issue - loss of power
Sometimes (not always) when I turn the key to the start position the entire system dies. I lose all power. At the on position all lights and dash indicators come on. When I turn to start and everything dies. Typically I can wait a second or two, cycle the key from start to off, then repeat the starting process and the car will start. If I start the car with the remote start I haven't seen this problem. Another symptom (very infrequent) is that while driving, I will get a ding. Sometimes it's just a ding but other times the ding will be followed various dash lights illuminating. It lasts only a second and goes away. Once it happened repeatedly about 5 times within 10 seconds. I do not lose engine power. Jeep keeps running. Battery terminals are tight. I cannot find a lose ground (maybe I'm missing one). I'm suspecting the ignition switch, a relay or ground. Any suggestions are appreciated. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited (3.6 engine).
