    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...

    Carparts.com lifetime warranty on Odyssey battery?

    Normal Voltage Reading?

    2003 2.4 auto, for the past week or so my TJ has been reading a little above 14v when running. This morning it was about half way between 14 and the next notch. It’s settled down a little bit at the time of taking the photo. Is this a normal read? Battery terminals are clean, battery and...

    Fusible links and wire upgrade

    So today I replaced all my negative wires with 2ga wire to clean things up a bit and I needed new battery terminals and all that. I am making all the wires and connections myself as opposed to buying the kit since I have most of everything anyway. I am now doing the positive wires now and I ran...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Battery Issues After multiple jumps

    Hey guys, I have a 98' that is having battery issues. The first time it died, I believed it to be mod lights (wheel well lights) that were left on. I jumped it and started right up but shut the jeep off too soon so the alternator didn't charge it. After trying to jump it again, I realized the...

    After battery replacement issues

    2005 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 3.7liter I bought about a week ago, and first thing I did on payday was replace the battery. I let advanced auto do it as I didn't wanna haggle trying to find miss match tools and shit. But anyway I noticed as I was driving back to work that the rpms were through the...

    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...

    Distributor Cap and Rotor Went Bad Again

    Not even 500 miles ago I replaced my cap and rotor because it was squealing like a pig. I’m gonna have to do it again because it’s squealing like a pig again. I must admit my negative battery connector has been giving me issues because it doesn’t get tight enough and I was wondering if this bad...

    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...
