Hello,

I have a 1988 4.0 automatic Cherokee Laredo Jeep. It has always started up and been quite dependable.

On Christmas evening I had to drive my son and grandchild to the bottom of my driveway. There was so much snow my son could not drive up the road to the house. So he parked down at the bottom of the driveway (a mile long driveway/one way).

When I turned my jeep off to help my son put x-mas gifts into his car and I got back into mine my Jeep it would not start. I figured it was the battery. I took my old battery out of my jeep carried it up the driveway and put the battery on the charger. I then took the battery back down to my jeep the following morning put it in and tried to cranked it over. The only thing that happened was all of the lights came on etc., and hummed . . . so I cleaned all of the connectors etc., and it still would not start.

So I called a friend to bring me a new battery from town (20 miles away) which she did. I installed the new battery (my old one was 6 years old) and the only thing that happened to my jeep was the same as the old battery it turned on the lights inside and outside of the car has a loud humming noise but wont start.

I am stranded with out my jeep can anyone tell me where to start. I cleaned off everything I could think of/connectors/battery cables etc.

As I mentioned all my jeep does is turn on the lights and humms but wont start.

Could this be a starter problem? I could sure use some help/direction to help myself.

Peace be with you, Julie
