Jeep just died ( electrically) after 20 mile journey
Hi there
My wife has a 2002 Jeep Cherokee grand and just drove it 20 miles from
college. She drove it into the garage and shut the engine down. As she was
getting out she noticed that the seat didn't roll back to let her get out
easily. She also noticed that she couldn't open any of the other doors ( the
drivers was already open.) No lights were on at all and when she turned the
key in the ignition nothing and I mean nothing at all happened. No lights,
no starter nothing at all. Anyone know what might be happening here pleaes?

Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious during algebra. In real life,
I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.

Bummer! Use a volt meter and start from the battery, checking how
far you get power. Sometimes there's just enough corrosion on one of the
battery terminals to make a black carbon like varnish in the connection
that completely disconnects it. But it sounds more like the fusible
link, the main wire going from you starter solenoid to ignition. YOU
LUCK!

Pull the battery terminals and clean them.

The guys have a good starting place with the battery and after you check it,
head towards your alternator. Did the alternator die or did you break an
alternator belt? It may be that it has gone bad causing your wife to drive
home on just the juice of the battery and making it go completely dead.
When you figure it out, let us know wouldya ?
