Probably a ground, jeep often splices several items to a common ground. Make sure the radiator clip is grounded to the fenders and the fenders are grounded to the firewall and the motor is grounded to the firewall. A voltage check probably wouldnīt be a bad idea either, but if itīs cranking good itīs probably not voltage.[addsig]
