Ok youve heard it before BUT. I had an issue where my jk randomly died in the middle of the road. Towed home. Next day I started it but after trying to drive it it would die and blow the asd fuse. After replacing the fuse wouldnt start. Leave it for awhile would start again then blow the fuse. Now nothing at all. Full lights on the dash but now not even kicking over.
Things checked.
Battery good.
Starter working when arced with screwdriver.
Ignition switch seams ok.
No codes just comes up DONE

Im lost for answer. Could it be an ecu issue?
 
Anytime you have electrical issues you should clean battery clamps cable ends and all the grounds. But blowing the fuse like that usually means something is shorting out on the ASD circuit, might be a wire coating rubbed off and shorting to ground.

Mine died at 65 MPH in the fast lane, on a Phoenix freeway. Good thing for me I carry extra gas.

I look but don't understand anything under the hood and I have gray hair and am decades past points and plugs, so I have the guy with the $5,000 tool plug it in so the Jeep will tell him what's wrong.
