Default Trouble Starting 2013 unlimited sahara
Howdy

hoping for some help on this one. My jeep is having trouble starting it did it once a couple days ago. Took a couple tries to get it started. Happened again today. Red lighting bolt came on dash. Jumped it and it started. Obviously im gonna check out the battery and terminals after work first. I also read that the red lighting bolt is the ETC light.

Anyone have any experience with this? Bought it a year ago from a Jeep dealership with 47,000 miles on it.

Almost certainly your battery. The stock batteries suck and don't typically last long.
