Help... 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

Like I mentioned in another group to you, you have a dirty/loose battery
cable.

LOL!

Only a couple places, maybe he wants someone besides me to tell him to
clean/tighten the battery cables?
