ok i need an alternator bracket, til i get one if i leave a door open or drive at night the wagoneer wont start, no problem have a battery charger that plugs in.
well last night got done working about 9:00 pm went to start jeep wont start, spent an hour looking for enough extension cords to plug in (not my house), no one home, jeep still wont start, put the charger on the solenoid, try to start get that chattering noise you get when battery is dead. put back on battery nothing, dead no noise,figure maybe i have too many small extension cords not enough juice, so locate jumper cables find a key to a truck that is there hook up to battery, nothing not even a noise,no headlights, hook up cables to solenoid, get the chattering noise and i have headlights! try to start jeep again with the cables hooked up to solenoid and wham headlights cut out immediately, battery tester says at this point the battery is charged. so after an hour of this cables are hot, jeep is acting like it always does when i go out in the am after driving home with headlights on, before i hook up battery charger, completely dead no noise at all when i try to start it, problem is i have had jumper cables hooked up for over an hour, its like im not getting anything to the battery but the cables are working and i get something when i hook up to solenoid,(and the headlights work with solenoid getting juice weird). so figure at this point me 42 year old woman have to hitchhike at midnight from the end of a little island, no traffic to my home 10 miles away, figure give it one more try(end of 14 hour work day at this point), find all the extension cords again, hook them all up hook up battery charger try one more time and bingo jeep starts up strongly first time!!! so any ideas what this could have been??
