Yesterday I drove the Jeep all around town with no problems. On my last errand, when I got back into the Jeep I noticed the power door locked cycled once on their own. I didn't think much of this and continued home. Parked in the garage where she's sat until today.
I go to start and nothing. No click, nothing but the emergency brake light. I notice the dome light is dimmed so I assume dead battery. I hook up a jump box and the moment I give the system power the door locks start cycling like crazy non-stop. I yank the fuse for the PDL's and now that's stopped at least. I still have a no start condition. I get no MIL and the only gauge that moves is the oil pressure gauge. I also hear a LOUD rapid clicking from under hood. I suppose it could be the starter solenoid, but it sounds SO fast. Is the battery just that dead? I find it hard to believe I've blow my CPS and develop an electrical gremlin in one night.
Help! Thank you.
