So I've got this explosion of dashboard lights, and she doesn't want to start. Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips for isolating the problem? BTW, I took this photo while the vehicle was running and while I was driving (I know, not very safe). So there are some pretty alarming things not working here- odometer, speedometer, temp (engine and outside), and of course all the ABS/ESP crap. The engine was running fine mechanically. I fiddle-****ed with some relays, wiring harnesses, and disconnected/reconnected battery to get her to start and drove her 3 miles back home where she sits waiting on some help from my knowledgeable Jeep brethren. I haven't removed the fuse box to look at the computer underneath yet. Does anyone have any troubleshooting recommendations to help me isolate the problem? I appreciate it.

I've seen this happen with a bad battery. Suggest have it tested.

If that tests good, pull the TIPM and have a careful look at it. Clean the connectors up and be sure all connections are good. It may be going bad, though.

Thanks Mark. I will test the battery and take a look at tipm. I appreciate it.
