Yup, you know what that is/means
No, not really but google says,

The star/off symbol on the dash of a Jeep Wrangler JL typically indicates an issue with the stop/start system, which may be related to the secondary battery or a faulty switch. It's advisable to have it checked by a dealer to diagnose the exact problem.

  • Things to check.
  • Faulty Secondary Battery: The JL Wrangler has a second battery dedicated to the stop/start system. If this battery is malfunctioning, it can cause the warning light to activate.
  • Loose Connections: A loose wire or connection at the battery can also lead to this issue.
  • Hood Latch: If the hood latch is not properly closed, it may prevent the stop/start system from functioning correctly.
  • Fuses: Sometimes, fuses related to the stop/start system may not be seated properly, leading to the warning light.

I read it as "**** off", have you been abusing the thing? Maybe it's had enough.

Forward warning is my guess. Mine does the same thing and as long as it goes off no problemo. Its in the manual.

Wait there’s owners manuals for these things? I mean with answers and everything already there if I’m willing to look?
Well son............I'm willing to look at the (owners manual). It like most all trucks/cars I've owned likelyl before you were born...........it shows up in the glove compartment. If (as I have done on many past rides) and want to know more than what the (owners manual) shows, I would purchase the Service Manuals. Did this many times.
Just so ya know, the new 2025 Jeep Wrangler Owners Manual that you get (in the glove compartment) is only about 83 pages long including the index.
NO where within.............are some of the factors you are pointing out. This experience is the very first time, I've been advised of an on-line version of the manual that goes way further into detail (like a Service Manual).
Who.............knew.

Just sarcasm brother…dry your tears 🤓 Even an old monkey like me can learn new tricks.
I like the pdf versions since you can search for keywords rather than reading the whole thing

every vehicle I have owned now for several years has online owners manuals....not 100% sure but pretty sure every jeep since at least 2012 but might be off by a year or two.

I am guessing pretty much everyone.....and it has been that way for many years....I think on my JK's you had to request a hard copy of the owners manual otherwise you had to go online....

You're misinformed....that's the "do not use seatbelt while pregnant" warning light
I thought it was the "impaled by giant lollipop" warning light???

OP is probably seeing the rear proximity sensor display. He has a history of posting obtuse questions.

First time I saw that F and A! I thought Jeep has a pretty good app that was telling me I did something great. I'm it says F and A! right?
