pleaes?

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 ?

Re: Jeep just died ( electrically) after 20 mile journey
This would be my first guess, perhaps the alternator died on the drive and
she drove home on the battery.

I charged it up overnight and it seemed to start ok this morning, I'll check
the battery as you guys suggest. I'm hoping it's not the alternator. I have
had nothing but problems with this Jeep, I miss my 1988 $700 one, never had
a days problems with it. This one is a piece of ----, excuse the language.
