Re: Starting problems
Check the ground cables too..... all of them. Clean them till they are
shiny with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper and give them a quick coating of dielectric grease before reassembly to prevent further corrosion Ground cables often 'rot' from the inside and 'look' to be in good condition, roll the mesh to see if it disintegrates. On the other posts you were advised to clean both cable ends and you responded "I have replaced the battery. the connections are clean. " I just want to double check.... you cleaned BOTH ends when you replaced the battery? ALL the ends on ALL the cables (some have more than 2 ends) and checked the cables themselves for damage and overheating (swollen or discolored insulation) The factory cables are ..... minimum spec when new..... after a decade of use they often show excess resistance. If yours show any signs of overheating replace the cable (not just the end) with the heaviest gauge cable you can get. You can also use a jumper cable to bypass and check for continuity of grounds. We don't mean to be a pain... well... at least I don't.... but when Jeeps have vague or intermittent electrical problems it is commonly a ground or cable resistance problem at fault. Good luck "B&K" <brian_49@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:1175530182.223498.155960@y80g2000hsf.googlegr oups.com... >I have replaced the battery. the connections are clean.
