JUST FOR GIGGLES, HAVE YOUR BATTERY TESTED AT A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE.....THIS IS USUALLY A FREE SERVICE........NOTHING LIKE SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED MESSING YOU UP

......SOMETIMES, JUST DISCONNECTING IT MIGHT RESET STUFF

YOU MAY NOT HAVE GOT A GROUND BACK IN PLACE, OR TIGHT

WITHOUT CORRECT NOMENCLATURE AND ENGINE SIZE.......I JUST GUESSED, AND GRABBED THIS DIAGRAM OUT OF "MITCHELL I"

THIS ONE IS "INSTRUMENTS" FOR A '99 CHEROKEE LIMITED (CORRECT ME IF I GUESSED WRONG....I HAD 4 CHOICES ON MODEL) SOMETIMES THE "COMMON STUFF" DIAGRAMS ARE THE SAME DIAGRAM AS FOR THE OTHER MODELS

LOOK FOR THE "GROUNDS" IN THE DIAGRAM.......NORMALLY A LOCATION IS GIVEN FOR THEM

LEMME KNOW THE DEAL

I WORK......WILL GET BACK WITH YOU WHEN I GET BACK ON....IF YOU SHOULD RESPOND
