I’ve read a bunch of threads but I’m not finding more specific problem I started having with it. I have a 2021 JLU sport s 3.6
My Jeep was just in the dealer for an oil change and check up last week. Last night I got in and pressed the start button to get nothing but a click and then all dash and interior lights flashing on and off and freaking out. Then, the wipers started slowly running. I could not get it to stop and shut off by hitting the start button. It just continuously flashed with no end in sight.
When I opened the hood, I could hear clicking noise around the PDC.
It was recommended from a forum member to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. I disconnected the negative and everything stopped flashing. However, when I reconnected the same issue started over flashing again. I also was unable to use any of the power locks at this point.
So, I disconnected again and was bound to let it sit for a little bit until I can try jumping and getting it running to get to the dealer tomorrow.
However, my big issue is that now when I try to reconnect the negative I’m getting a spark every time I touch the terminal in order to connect. So, now I have no way of reconnecting the battery without major sparks and I’m weary to continue connecting given the sparks. I don’t want to fry something.
Does anyone know what’s going on or have any suggestions on how I can get it going in the meantime to get it to the dealership for battery replacement? Importantly, how can I get the battery reconnected without sparking?
(PS I live in an apartment building in a parking garage so I’m pretty sure towing is going to be an issue)
