probably sulking 'cos you call it a jeep!

m and s (in cogs) flashing says there is an electrical fault in gbox, however with other flashing bulbs I'd guess it is ECU related.

The first thing I would be doing is giving your car battery a good overnight charge. The electronic systems on these cars need reliable voltages and when you start the engine it sucks a lot of juice and sometimes there is a shortage to fuel the electronics.

So,

1. give the car battery a good charge &

2. When you get in the car, start the engine first then put your seatbelt and and get ready for the road - this delay will be enough to allow the electronics to get juiced up BEFORE selecting any gears.
