Re: 98 GRAND CHEROKEE BATTERY BEING DRAINED
Yes, but you have to at least have a voltmeter in your tool box,
before you may start testing an electrical problem.
I thank my Dad, too. And Mom for letting me drive twenty dollar
cars on twenty five cent tires.

Re: 98 GRAND CHEROKEE BATTERY BEING DRAINED Part 2
Well I have diagnosed it down to the air conditioning clutch solenoid being
engaged all the time. not to sure what would cause it, I pulled the relay in
the power distribution box and re installed it, now fault has disappeared
for now.
As a side bar my new battery dropped to 9 volts and was boiling over in the
jeep. The out put from alternator is 14 v. Now the garage wants to recharge
it, I say it was defective because a battery should never loose its voltage,
but they would not listen to me.
