Ok. I bought this 88 jeep Cherokee and I’ve been doing the work to turn it into my snow rig. But here’s my issue. My alternator was not charging. When I bought the jeep it was supplied with a new alt. I replaced and added an extra cable from the positive post on the back of the alternator plus...

My 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited just died on me going down the road I’m assuming it’s because of the alternator and I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to check to make sure that’s the problem the alternator is relatively new but I am running a bigger battery and I don’t...

Greetings fellow Jeep people! 2008 WK Jeep Grand Cherokee - 3.0L Diesel, 205k miles Last week the alternator went out (probably from oil weeping out of the oil fill cap). I replaced the alternator, which is a decent project in itself, and everything was great until a day later when the battery...

Hello JeepForum! I have a 97 wrangler sport, fully built, fully capable, fully fun... aside from this one thing. The serpentine belt squeaks no matter what I do. I tried replacing the belt and that didn't work, so I replaced EVERYTHING in the serpentine belt assembly, water pump, steering pump...

I have a 97 Cherokee sport 4L with a strange electrical problem. My Volt-Meter reads normal 14V when I start the engine but jumps to 19V after 12 secs; it does not fluctuate, stays at 19V. However everything works fine (except for the check gauges on the dashboard turns on as soon as the volt...

Hi It has been a little bit more than a year since my last post and also the last day I worked on my Jeep I'm rewiring the Jeep , have almost everything figured out, but I have no idea how to rewire the alternator. The EZ-Wire comes with 2 cables for the alternator: Red - Alternator Power -...

Original trustworthy gauge. Volt meter pins at 16+ volts. Thought it was the gauge. Erratic drop to normal 12-14 volts, idle rpm increased. Spike back up to 16+ volts, idle rpm drops (engine under load). Unpredictable back and forth between pinned gauge and normal readings. Failing voltage...

I have been having a new problem with my Jeep. I put a new alternator, starter, battery terminals, and battery. These parts were all switched out within the last month. I switched them out in response to my Jeep stalling when I would come to a stop. I stopped having that issue, and now I am...

97 cherokee with 180000 miles, battery would be around 13 or 14 volts when first started but after about 10 minutes of driving the volts would drop to 9, its a brand new battery and i pulled the alternator and had it bench tested at orileys and it tested good, are those testers always reliable...

So I got in my CJ this morning and it started up fine. I was letting warm up for 10 minutes or so before leaving for work. When I got in it to leave I noticed the lights (head lights and dash lights) were dim. Everything got brighter when I revved it up, indicating alternator issues. Then all of...

I have a 2005 Wrangler X. my problem started yesterday. out of no where my starter took a crap on me. i replaced the starter with a new one. i also replaced my pos bat terminal due to corrosion. So i thought everything was fine untill i tried to start the jeep after installing the new...

Hello everyone! I have a 2000 TJ wrangler. I've had it for about 6 months and have had almost no issues with it. Except one. About 3 months after I got my monster, I accidentally left my lights on and drained the battery. I jumped it and drove off with no issues. For the next few weeks I...

I have an 07 Commander that won't start. I am pretty sure it's the alternator but I'll give you the details anyway because I am a female who can admit it when she's wrong :thumbsup: Initially it wouldn't start. When I turn the key, the dash lights up, windows work etc but it doesn't start. The...

My ZJ has a new battery, new alternator, and clean terminals and will not charge. If I charge it up it will turn on, but about a min later the battery gauge drops to zero. My next guess is to replace the alternator plugs. Also, the battery is oversized, but I was told that shouldn't be an...

My 1996 Grand Cherokee will turn on if I charge the battery, but after about a minute of running, I get check gauges light and the battery gauge drops to zero. I have replaced the battery, and the alternator I just replaced anyway. I tried cleaning the terminals. My next guess is replacing...

Hey All, 1998 XJ 4.0 - Automatic. Noticed "spike" in voltage last week. Would run around 20 volts. Assumed it was bad ground. Checked all grounds, appeared to be fine. This happened a couple times, but the alternator has since been acting normal (14V). Now the thing won't start. When I put...

I have a 98 cherokee with a voltage problem I'm getting high voltage when I get on the gas hard does this mean that my pcm is bad ?

Recently replaced alternator nine months ago. I also replaced the single wire (not the three connections that look like a ground) that comes off the alternator and goes to the fuse box with a number ten copper wire. Car starts just fine. But before I am on the main roads I get a check guages...

The Symptoms: Last week all systems appeared to work normal on the final stages of a rebuild. But brake light switch was out of it's little clamp. After I worked that into the correct position, pushing my hands in over the top of the steering column and snapping on the plug. Ran engine to...
