Car Forum / Jeep / January 2004Help... no elec power to my TJ
I started my 97 TJ today and drove about four blocks when the dash bell rang and the CHECK GAUGES message appeared. The voltmeter was pegged at about 19 volts. So I drove the Jeep home and turned the engine off. I tried to restart it but there is no electrical power anywhere... lights, horn, radio, key/door buxzer... nada. The battery had full power. I pulled the fuses from the box under the hood and they were all good. After I finished with the fuses I noticed that the hood light was on... it was off before I checked the fuses. I tried to start the Jeep and everything was normal... engine ran and all electrics worked. What could be my problem? TIA RalphDL@webtv.net Like I mentioned in another group to you, you have a dirty/loose battery cable.

Only a couple places, maybe he wants someone besides me to tell him to clean/tighten the battery cables? ;-) Mike > so....................how many groups does that make for this reply? > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > TIA > > > RalphDL@webtv.net I second Mikes suggestion, Clean and tighten your battery cables. while your at, check your oil, washer fluid and anti-freeze.

Troubleshooting skills of an MBA. This is a *power* problem folks, so it is much more likely to be defective spark plugs. The poor OP has a leaky spark plug that isn't plugging the spark hole properly and is letting all the electricity leak out thru the exhaust...where perhaps it may have damaged Bill's muffler bearing, but only as a secondary effect.
