    2012 JK No-Crank Gremlin Mystery

    OK, thanks for the insights. I think I have a path forward to start troubleshooting this.

    2012 JK No-Crank Gremlin Mystery

    The battery clamps, cables, and ground connections are all original stock. You think this could cause the intermittency and have an association on a 4WD Low stall?

    2012 JK No-Crank Gremlin Mystery

    When it does this, it is completely dead with no dash lights or crank. The last couple of times it has happened while wheeling in 4-Low, I have got the lights back and started it, albeit with some cranking effort, by rolling back about 5 ft and then re-trying it. The few times it has happened...

    Loud Thrashing Engine Noise after Car wash

    Loud Thrashing Engine Noise after Car wash
