Re: jeep dieing

In addition to a ground, a short any place or improperly hooked up electrical component could do that.

Have had two problems that caused that with my jeep:
1. Frayed cabling to battery rubbed against the metal body, causing a short.
2. The used car dealer I bought the jeep from hooked up the cheapo car stereo wrong, causing a short and constant battery drain. Battery would jump and hold a charge for three days, but not a week.

Did it die while you were driving (had already started up), or did you turn it off and then it wouldn't turn over again?
