UN-JEWG YOUR BATTERY
UN-JEWG = TAKE THE BATTERY COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM YOUR RIG!
THIS IS THE "BIG THING" OR "IMPORTANT PART"
INSTALL A FULLY CHARGED (YOUR "IF GOOD") OR NEW BATTERY...DON'T MATTER
INSURE CHARGING SYSTEM WORKS....A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE WILL USUALLY DO THIS FOR FREE MOST OF THE TIME
THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON
YOUR "RUN DOWN" BATTERY (LEFT LIGHTS ON, ETC) OR "BAD" BATTERY (EVEN A NEW BATTERY CAN BE BAD) MADE THE COMPUTER GO HAYWIRE WHEN IT RECEIVED LOW VOLTAGE
JUMPING YOUR RIG WITH JUMPER CABLES, MAY FIRE YOU UP, AND IT MAY DRIVE OK
.........BUT
MR. COMPUTER WAS/ IS STILL HAYWIRE, FROM THE VOLTAGE DROP INITIALLY
UN-JEWG-ING MR. BATTERY AND A...MAYBE 10 MINUTE WAIT, SHOULD RESET MR. COMPUTER
THEN INSTALL YOUR FULLY CHARGED BATTERY
OFF TO THE PARTS STORE---TESTING!
IF THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN OR CHARGING SYSTEM CAN'T CHARGE IT CORRECTLY AND SHOULD DROP VOLTAGE AGAIN
GUESS WHAT?
SAME THING WILL HAPPEN!
MORAL OF STORY--BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM MUST BE GOOD, BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED SO THE COMPUTER WILL RECOGNIZE FULL/ CORRECT VOLTAGE
ALSO, LIKE AT THE TOP--A BAD CONNECTION CAN CAUSE A VOLTAGE DROP. THIS LINK MAY DESCRIBE THE "DRILL SERGEANT" VERSION...SS JAN 5 AT THIS POST

YES, THIS MAY HAVE BEEN "TOUCHED" ON BEFORE......NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY!
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE A WRANGLER, YOU DID THE VERY BEST YOU COULD DO FOR THIS DAY AND TIME. A "REAL JEEP" HOOD SHOULD ONLY BE RAISED FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND TO SHOW OFF THE ENGINE TO "WANNA BEs"......(I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THEM STATION WAGON LOOKING JEEPS)
RETURN WITH WONDERFUL NEWS!!! (OR WE WILL CONTINUE)
.......AND YOU OWE ME LUNCH! (WE'LL DRIVE ONE OF MINE, THEY'RE NOT SO COMPLICATED)
