I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty. Lights work, radio comes on, car cranks but doesn't start. We jump started to get it home but still did the same thing following day. Charging battery on chager, after 1 1/2 still doing it. What else could it be?

Did you try a new battery? Sounds weird bu mine had similar issues even to the point when i boosted it , it wouldnt stay at idle. The battery had two bad ceels in it an this car being mostly computer stuff, give it a try.

Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. Also, check the main ground to the engine block.

Fully charge the battery and take it to a parts store to have it load tested. If it passes, have the alternator checked.
