New to the Site.
I just bought a used 06 Wrangler, and it drove great for the first few days, but was having some weird electrical problems. I pulled the battery and had it tested and it was found to be a bad battery (had corrosion and such also). I cleaned the battery ports etc, and it seemed to run fine after that. Then I got a CEL error. I hooked my scanner up to it and read the code and found that it was a gas cap error. Easy enough, right? I cleared the code and then my dash started going nuts (bouncing gauges, no start etc). I pulled the battery and got a new one. I did get power back but now my OBD does not pick up. I have dash lights/radio/headlights/ etc, but I cant crank it. I replaced the ignition switch(thinking that might be the culprit). I even took my battery out of my bigger truck and still had the same issues. Is this an indication of a bad PCM?

Checked the cap and tightened it down....Also, I tightened the new terminal post on the new battery and still cant get the thing to start. Gauges dont register, but I do get the brake light and gas light. Thanks for the reply

I can hear the full pump kick over, and I did check all the fuses. I tested the power with a test light and could see power coming through. I tried jump starting it with another car and still had the same result. When I get home, Ill try the fuse swap. Thanks!
