Dash lighting up like a Christmas tree

[Heimkehr]

Yes, these are the correct connectors - did a dry fit with a spare green CAN Bus and they fit fine.
Ordered pin remover, crimper and 100 connectors for the price of one pigtail they wanted to sell me ...

Links to the pin remover and crimper, please? I too would like to have a mini kit on hand (remover + crimper + a couple of connectors.) Thanks!

Well her is where I am. Started with traction control error, then lost power steering and went into limp mode and lights like a Christmas tree. I read a tone of post and decided to start with the Aux battery. Swapped it out and all errors on dash went away. I was smart enough to know, that was way too easy. Took it for a half hour test drive and all worked well. Went out this morning and started it and back to a ton of errors. One weird one the Jeep would not even shut off. Finally got it off and off to auto zone for new main battery. When I brought it home I tried to start the Jeep and it would not start. Changed out the main battery and when I tried and restarted it, it struggled. Have it a minute or two and then it started normal. No lights on now. What should I do now? Test drive it again and see if it stays clean? Or go find a green can buss?

Start with the canbus. It costs $7 and takes 10 minutes to replace. Many of us (myself included) had the same issue and a new canbus fixed it. Nothing is 100% guaranteed, but this is by far the cheapest and easiest first step.

Where did u find for $7??

I've had similar problems. I think I have my issue fixed. I found it by eliminating components from the high speed CAN bus one by one during an incident. Pretty sure it's the sway bar disconnect module, or the wiring for it. Details:
