I have a 1998 Jeep Grand cherokee with the 5.9L 4x4 and it's not cranking or getting any power, not even to the instrument panel despite brand new battery. Please help as this is my only vehicle right now.

Sorry you're having problems. You should explain a bit more about when this happened and how was it before it happened? Have you owned this for a while or did you just buy it?

Also, you're in the wrong forum. You should be in the Grand Cherokee forums here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f5/

I'm certain you'll get faster and better assistance there.

Good Luck!

The Grand Cherokee forum would be a better place to ask. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f5/

I would look at the battery cables, as after 23 years they may be rotten inside. Fuses and fusible links would be the next things I looked at. Cleaning ground points as well.
