94 Jeep Cherokee Sudden Electrical Failure




By rwalsh1633 on Mar 13, 2009

" "
About two weeks ago I had the front passenger headlamp replaced which required the battery to be removed first. When it was put back together, suddenly the warning lights would come on one by one (check engine, abs, airbag) and the tachs and electrical gage would go dead. Eventually all electrical went dead and the engine stopped running. We replaced the alternator and the battery and initially it started fine. Now it has started doing the same thing again, starts up okay and after about 10 minutes the warning lights are coming on again and all electricals go out, one by one. Please help! We are just about to lose our minds!

Thank you in advance!

- We are still looking at the wiring. The ground wire to the battery seems secure. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much milespeed!

major suspect here is a bad ground... you likely loosened or compromised it when at headlamp bucket area.. remove battery again and check for its negative side to be secure adn all otehr wiring there to be clean and secure..good luck and advise

- do you have a DVOM or simple current/voltage tester?...to be sure disconnect clean adn retighten bround wires to battery both sides.. carefully look at each wire there 'tween battery adn headlamp area that was disturbed.... if nothing obvious you need to test at each end of wire for its integrity til you find the culprit...good luck
