    Likely you have a battery that gets no charge from the alternator. Check the cables from the alternator, or apply a voltmeter to check for charge coming from the alternator. Likely when you crank the starter, the charge is not sufficient to start after a few tuenovers. This is an indication that you are not getting charging electricity. The meter gauge is simply telling you that you are draining the battery during the start, not that there is anything wrong with the meter. Check that your alternator is working and generating a 14.5 volt reading, over 12 volts for normal battery operation.

When you put the jumper cables on, put the key in the drivers door lock and unlock the door to deactivate the factory alarm.

either your alternator has gone or your fan belt is not there which helps the alternator to charge the battery get a volt meter on your alternator to see if it is kicking out what it should be

SOURCE: Lights started flickering battery light came on Dash lights and gages went crazy now wont start

Like you said, battery may be flat. You can check that with a multimeter.

Next check the alternator. Faulty alternator leads to uncharged battery.

SOURCE: 2000 Jeep Grand cherokee Laredo

sounds alot the the pcm it controls the fuel pump and ign system but the anti theft would keep it from starting because the key has a transponder in it programmed for that vehicle and that would kill all ign if triggered

may be your alternator is gone, when the car is running the battery is out and the alternator takes over, so is got to be your alternator, try to restart your car and if it runs disconect the negative cable from your battery if the car dies the alternator is bad.

It sounds like a loose wire to the starter, check the wiring going to the starter for any corrosion, breaks and make sure all the bolts and nuts are tight.

No/low oil pressure, high engine temp

I think you have a bad ground on your engine gages...but, more importantly, have your oil pressure checked by a mechanic.  If it is indeed only 20 pounds the engine is sadly on it's last legs.
When you receive advice from this website you have to understand that without the item in front of us, we are only able to provide "a best guess" as to what the problem might be based on you description of the defect.  If you haven't described a clear and precise description of the defect you decrease the chances of an accurate reply.  Thank you.

Do u have the key fob to turn off the alarm, or is it not a factory installed one? Just disconnect the negative battery cable and charge the battery, that will disable the alarm while u charge the battery.
