just reread your post..... my money is on ignition switch shorting out. much more likely to happen and could result the the random flashing/clicking in the dash...

**IamJEEP** · 10-13-2011, 10:15 AM

That was my first thought, because I can make the dash lights dance by wiggling the key in the ignition switch. I'll capl later to wake them up and see what they found.

UPDATE.........

Well, it turns out that the cells have shorted out on the battery. I was getting a voltage reading at the terminals of 13.5V but when a load is put on it, it shorts out and makes all the electrical act weird. They said they checked everythng out and seems ok, but Im keeping the reciept just in case. Also, while it is there, I am having them fix the passenger rear door handle that someone broke (and didn't man up) under warranty. Unfortunately I have to pay for the diagnostics for he electrical issue 'cause it is not warranty related. I get it back tomorrow.

At least it was something minor

I think his XK tried to commit suicide... figured it'd see more offroad sitting at the dump rather than the mall parking lot

Just had the same thing happen to my motorcycle. Battery tested at 13volts so it seemed fine but wouldn't start my bike. It was only about a 5 month old battery so I got it replaced under warranty. Batteries plus tested it and said the cells shorted out.
