Going to get the alternator and battery checked out as soon as someone else gets home. Anything else that should also be looked at?

Many Popular parts stores will test all of that for FREE, if your CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON, Have them "CODE" your car also, it may just be "ON' because something may be wrong in your charging system....but have it coded regardless.

If you will bring the codes back here, RASMATAZ, will be able to point you in the direction you need to go.....I'm still in the '80's on back with my Older CJs, So Ras will be the man!

P1491 & P0562 Were the two codes that were put out onto the reader. The alternator tested good and the battery was replaced. The vehicle started right up after they were re-installed. Once the codes were read, they were cleared. About 2 minutes later the lights came back on with the same codes.
