Electrical problem
1994 Jeep Wrangler 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

new battery, new alternator, new fuses. Jeep wont start with a jump it might start but dies when jumper cable is taken off. If it does start, it might run for 2 days with no problems then go somewhere come out and it wont even click. It then needs a jump. Today it died while driving! After replacing the
fuse it started right up, 30 min later trying to get home it started to die again. The radio sounds like its under water, the r.P.M. Goes crazy and the battery
indacator goes from 12 to 9. Then dies. Checked the fuse that was put in to get me home and it blew again. HELP! Oh the starter is only 6 months old, and I have an alarm that sometimes sets itself. 6 months ago I ripped out the voice box! Now just the lights flash, and kills the battery. I thinks its now been disconneted. We are lost what to do. Cant afford new car. Thanks for your help. Kelly

Have the alternator tested. Remanufactured alternators, starters and wiper motors can be very shotty rebuilds unless they were replaced by OEM chrystler/jeep parts.
Also check the jeep for battery draining while the key is off. Turn everything off and remove the positive battery terminal. Gently tap it against the battery terminal. It should not arc. Arcing indicates current draw. Go fuse by fuse through both the power train fuse box in the engine bay and the chasis fuse box under the dash until you find the culprit.
