On Saturday while travelling from Seattle to the Reno area for some bird hunting with my dogs. After about 10 hours of totally normal driving, I was almost at the California border on a long elevation change when my engine just dies. No indication, no noise, no power, no steering, no brakes, nothing mechanical but the dash was still lit. A guy stopped to pull me up to the last exit before the California border. Had a helluvatime getting the transmission into neutral and the transfer case into neutral, but eventually succeeded. I tried priming several times, but it would only have normal rpms for a few seconds. If I tried to start again there a series of rapid clicks and then it shut off. My tow buddy and I checked several fuses and found none blown. Had it towed to a dealership in Medford OR. Now i am in a long cue of vehicles waiting service as they seem to be shorthanded. Do the symptoms sound familiar to anyone? One more clue. When I was priming my tow buddy said it sounded like the fuel system was operating normally. When I tried to start it was anything but normal. I have almost 25k miles on the odometer and have had no trouble with the JL unlimited Rubicon since I picked the vehicle up in April 2020.
