So your Jeep won't start and your battery only reads 3V? Uhhh... Your battery is dead...

With the description, that's the conclusion I gather as well.

I think he is saying that he hotwired it straight from the battery and it starts. But he only gets 3 volts when he reads the harness

There is high resistance somewhere: connector, wiring, ignition switch. It doesn't have a ballast resistor for the ignition does it? Check the connector at the ignition switch see if it's fried. Breakout your DMM and get to work.
