I think his buddy "Sparky" had a static build up and it discharged when he touched the Jeep.


As far as reading voltage with the battery completely unhooked - remove the flashlight battery that dropped down between the inner fender and the liquid line.

I tore it down to just past the airbag yesterday and didn't find the source. Yet.

I'm going to get down to the evap core/heater core (I believe that is what it is called) where the hardline runs into there, this weekend.

I also tested another car in the driveway, and there is no voltage on the AC line there.

I've been thinking the same thing, Ken. It's a strong possibility, anyway.

i did that because i was told not to post elect data that i carefully and accuratly compiled to help others fix elect troubles. it was almost exactly what i did for a hummer forum .so i deleted that post and retained a copy. then just deleted all others that i worked on. if you want a copy of the elect data its avail for you to decide. in fact i suggested that others should duplicate the tests i made to verify my stuff since it was for jeeps which may vary. only was trying to help and got shot down!!

'no good deed will go unpunished"! still true!
by the way you cant delete completly, gotta leave something.

Nah, he's sincere. He just doesn't know what he doesn't know. You know the saying about "a little knowledge".

at age 16 i built radio transmitters and played records on the broadcast band! dont tell anybody!. then went to devry in chicago for formal training in electronics/electricity,grad with a 4.0 gpa.
i build kilowatt ham amplifiers from scratch and program computers in basic and assembly language although ive drifted away from that in recent yrs. built machine control interfaces with cbm64 and ibm,stepper motor drivers, opto coupler sensors, testers for eagle signal timers and temp controls. oh yeah ive had fun.
i know what i know! nothin ever made up.

Those who brag continuously like you do tend to know less than those who don't.

Has there been any mods to your Jeep that would include a storage battery? Look around.
