New battery keeps draining. by sufe70
May 06, 2009 (9:33 am)

I parked my jeep back in Dec. for the common stall/hard start problem these jeeps have.Pulled my hair out and could not solve the stall/start problem.
Well during the few months it sat between Dec. and spring the battery died.I did not put much thought into it as it was 5 years old and died during the winter while the vehichle was not being started. So I just shrugged it off and bought the new battery.However since the new battery the draining has not stopped.It will hold a charge for a few days some times other times it will drian in less than 24 hours.
I started the jeep and pulled the neg. cable from the battery and engine ran fine.
So the alternator is charging.
The Jeep is not giving me any other symptoms. No wierd light issues or chimes.No warning lights or engine lights.No codes. No lights staying on. All I can say is it seems fine and even acts fine for a day or so most times.Park it at night come out in the A.M. and have a dead battery.
Any ideas? It's going to a mechanic tonight and I told them to keep it for a week or 2 or until the stall/start and Battery drain issue both show themselves.

sounds like you might have a frayed wire or short to ground somewhere in your electrical system. a weak connection to ground might explain your slow and consistent battery drain.

Did you ever get this issue resolved. I have been having the same problem? The first thing I noticed was the interior lights would stay on when I closed the door. Somehow, I got that to stop but, now my power locks and windows will not work at all. I would really appreciate your help!

Diff or bearing by c_farooq

Hi. I am looking for some advice.
 
I have a 2000 yr Gran cherokee, and for the last 3 months i have been hearing a humming noise. This has gradually got louder. As you turn left it stops, but when you go right it gets worse. I preseumed it was a diff. Someone said it might be the diff?
what is easier? can the rear axle just be replaced or would i have to get a new diff?
thanks

1994 Grand Cherokee, Horn Malfunctioning by thomaz31

For a while now the horn is not sounding completely. It started back when it was colder. It wouldn't sound at all when it was freezing. Then, it would as the temperature warmed up. Lately it doesn't work properly at all. Sounds as if it has a cold. No where near enough volume. I can hear clicking under the glove compartment when I blow the horn. (Same clicking back when it was colder weather). But, I can't find any access to relays. The fuses are fine...Would very much like to fix this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Thomas

2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo, won't start. by printerfixer

Just turned 200K miles. When I turn the ignition key nada. No clicking from the starter solonoid. My gauges are all lighting up, my electrics seem ok, even though the battery is new I tried to jump it just in case it wasn't getting enough amperage, same. The only recent history is the front end was completely rebuilt last month. Any suggestions are appreciated.

there are a number of possibilities. can you provide more information? is the noise tied to vehicle speed, O/D on/off, accelerating/coasting, etc...

Hi
The noise sually comes on when travelling over 40mph, when you turn left it stops and right it gets worse. I have tried coasting and still happens. When OD is on or off it still happens. There is a slight vibration on the steering wheel when driving.
 
thanks
