battery

I was working on my 2005 TJ, and pulled the battery out. Under the battery there were two things that caught my eye: 1. the battery plate has what appears to be a pressure switch. Is that what it is? I'm guessing it cuts power if the battery "escapes" it's tray. Is that correct? 2. under...

Hello, I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee Laredo and love it. How do I know which alternator it needs? I see three, 160, 180 and 220 amps. I’ve read it originally had a 164 amp alternator. It got a new battery 6 months ago. It recently started sluggishly after the second crank, had very little...

I have a year old Dewalt 20v 1.5AH battery that stopped taking a charge. I figured before I recycle it, I may as well try to see if it's under warranty I got online and chatted with the Dewalt bot on their website. It setup an account for me, verified my battery was one year old, and shipped...

Battery died on me during a cold spell. When I try to jump it or swap out the battery, the antitheft alarm horn is just blaring. Bought her used and don't know if the antitheft system is OEM or after market. The 2000 Cherokee does not have a key fob as the Grand Cherokee of the same year did...

1997 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 4wd 4.0 I6. Tried to swap the battery and put it in backwards, then put the original battery back in the right way and it started sparking and smoking. Does anyone know just how much damage I did?

'96 Cherokee here and right now I'm dealing with a no start after a few weeks of suspicious symptoms. She's been driven a lot less over the past year and about a month ago she began starting a little slow. I've got an oversized battery in there so usually she cranks right up no problem. I...

Hi all, first post on Jeepz! I wasn't having any luck on another forum so hoping for some help. I have a 1999 Jeep XJ and I have no spark from the coil. The coil is powered with the 12v wire, but the signal wire does nothing. I have checked the other end of the signal wire at the PCM side...

I own a 2015 J.K. when I shut my jeep off it takes a few minutes but I hear the internal dampers in ductwork opening and closing ? I am not sure how long this keeps happening, but I dont like idea that it is draining my battery life when shut down. Does anyone have any idea what is going on...

Thanks so much - I've gotten really great help here before, so! I've been disconnecting my battery periodically over the years to turn the check engine light off - also for a year or so, the 3 lights ABS, ESP, and Air bag lights come on intermittently when driving but they usually shut off by...

When I leave my Liberty setting at night the battery drains over night. new battery, alternator checks good and as long as i'm driving it starts every time. next morning battery is completely dead. had 2 different shops check it. checked all fuses. removed radio and heated seat fuse.any...

Howdy all, I've since got a Schumaker battery charger for my charging needs to replace a pair of NAPA 85-323A chargers. This isn't the right forum I think but given all of the work done in this section I thought it may be appropriate. These 85-323A's seem to continue charging without going...

A month ago Jiffy Lube informed me I needed to get a new battery. A week ago I got a duralast from battery plus. Sunday I'm driving and my check gages light comes on. My battery is at 10V. I go to battery plus. They check the battery, and it's down to 9V by the time I get in there. They tell me...

I'm having trouble with my 2000 Cherokee. Tried to start it yesterday & it pops the electrical. We can get it started with a jump, but. When I try to turn it off & turn it back on again there is a pop & all the electrical goes out. Battery is charging @ 14 so not an alternator issue.. Battery...

I just bought a 2005 TJ jeep. It has six driving lights and a 9000 Lb Warren winch. The problem I see with all this battery usage is that I can only find one battery under the hood which is my starting battery. I would like to redue it right and add some more battery power. The only problem I...

I've been driving it all day with no problem, but when I went to start it up before leaving my apartment this afternoon it started acting up. When I turn the key, it won't start - but the AC, radio, lights on the dash, etc. all still work. I guess that means it's not the battery (?) but I've had...
