    TJ won't start

    Hey there. I need some help. My Jeep died on the trail in January and we couldn’t jump start it either. It has been sitting on a ranch till Sunday. I replaced the alternator and battery and it started up perfectly! I was able to drive it home and park it. The next day I was hoping to drive it...

    Overcharging issue

    I have a 1997 wrangler with a 4.0 . My issues began with the voltage regulator in the pcm going bad. A replacement pcm didn’t work so I switched to an external voltage regulator. I bout the ever start kit and wired it exactly as specified in their instructions. I have a good contact between the...

    Dash lights flashing and bells going off!

    A few weeks ago my Jeep’s (2017 Rubicon) dash lights started flashing and beeping off and on while driving in the city. Very random, and the entire dash, including the stereo, even shut down completely and restarted like a computer would while driving. This did not affect the engine. Then, after...

    P1682 alternator doesn't seem to charge battery

    I got the 'check gauges' light and the p1682 code. It still starts and runs however the battery slowly drains while running. No new mods. I suspect it is the alternator since it has not been replaced for the 7.5 years I've had this Jeep (no issues until now). Wires and battery terminals were...

Drove perfectly for one day, by the end of the night i try to start it up and the battery was dead. I check on it the next morning and all the gauges/dashboard lights are on. I...

    Starter, alternator, or both?

    Yesterday, I got up, started the Jeep in 7* weather, drove to work, drove back to my town, and then ... dead in the water at the post office. I got nothing. No lights on the dash, just a click could be heard at the starter solenoid. I checked the battery voltage (it was only at 12.6 V which...

    Bad alternator or gauge cluster?

    I couldn't find anything else on the forum with a similar list of symptoms to what my Jeep is going through, so I figured I'd post. I hope this is obvious for someone smarter than I am I was driving from south Dallas to north Dallas when this happened: First sign I noticed was "check gauges"...

    Battery issues (Code P1682)

    I recently bought a 2002 Wrangler and have been having battery charge issues. When I bought it, they had a set of speakers in the back that I wanted to remove and got rid of them a couple days ago. They had a box connected directly to the battery which powered the speakers, but the box was also...

    Battery / alternator issue

    I wanted to get some insight on this. I just replaced my alternator as I had just replaced my PCM because the voltage indicator on the dash would die while driving. I replaced the alternator a few days ago and the voltage on the dash is fine now. But I’ll turn the Jeep off and go to turn it on...

    Alternator mystery

    Check gauges light was on. Looked like battery charge level was about 10 V on the gauge. Like this for weeks. First noticed after a carwash. Took to Advanced Auto to check the alternator. They have me rev the engine to 3000 rpm. They say the alternator is producing zero charge. They don't have...

    Battery Help (Parasitic Draw)

    I could really use some help. Some backstory: For about 6 months, I've faced some very intermittent battery issues. Or at least that's what I assume. Everything would be fine then one day I'd have trouble starting the Jeep but with some charging of the battery, it started right up. I didn't...

    Engine won’t turn over, just clicks. Could it be an alternator, starter or other issue?

    Battery and alternator replaced, but TJ still keeps dying

    So the battery died on me. I was able to get it jumped and went to autozone and got a new one. They said it may need a new alternator since the voltage on the battery wasn’t going up. So I order one off rock auto and put it in Wednesday. Drove it around for about 45 minutes with no issues...

    What Alternator Fusible Link for new battery cables?

    Hello all, Working on replacing my battery cables and lugs - they're both fairly shot. Anyways, the only thing I have a question on is on the fusible link between the battery and the alternator. I'm looking to replace the fusible link with an in-line fuse, and am wondering what AMP fuse I...

    My TJ won't turn over but the battery is still good

    I tried to start my TJ last night so I could pull it out of the garage to put my motorcycle behind it and it wouldn't start. I pulled the battery out and took it to Autozone and they said it's still good. My positive terminal connector is a little corroded (I'm going to clean it) and the...

    Charging system failure

    My charging system decided to go and for the life of me i can't figure out the problem. Before i end up shelling out even more money to fix the issue I've probably made worse and taking it to a professionals, again. I figured i would try here as a last ditch effort. My check gauges light came on...

    Since a few weeks, an irregular noise is coming from the alternator area. It sounds like squeaking at various pitches. The sound doesn't seem to be influenced by whether I'm standing still and idling, or driving, hitting the gas or not... Here is a YouTube video: The alternator is original...
