Verdict?

Not working. Everyone on here was right. Now I have to do this process all over again. This time I will listen but please keep in my that I don't have easy access to the parts store. Where do I begin?

Please bare with me. I feel terrible enough

For starters, what exactly is it doing now? Still won't start? Battery is probably dead.

The first thing you need to do is to get the Jeep running. You need to find someone with a set of jumper cables and another vehicle.

Call an old flame, a highschool kid, flag someone down in the middle of the road. Just get someone to jump the Jeep off.

Now that the Jeep is running, drive to the parts store and buy a voltmeter. Check the voltage on the battery while it's running.

You have a new alternator so you should have 13-14 volts at the battery.

Let it run for a while. Turn it off. Try to start it again. If it doesn't start then your battery is most likely shot.

How old is the battery?

Report back.

Your best bet right now is to go back to the beginning of the thread and do what everyone has been suggesting. Post your findings and a diagnosis can be made.

Next time you get to the auto store you should pick up a few things as it seems like you've bought quite the fixer-upper. Get a multi-meter for electrical. Grab a Haynes manual...they are very easy to follow and have a lot of pictures. Pick up a can of PB Blaster. You will need it on a jeep. Make sure you have decent 10mm and 12mm sockets, they'll get used a lot. I would also suggest a battery charger. I got a cheap one on sale for 20 bucks and its lasted 5 years so far. That way you can have your battery charging while you work. These are basics. You'll find that you need more for specific projects, but this way you've got a start

Just skimmed back through the thread. Just noticed you said you KNOW the battery is good because the people at Advance charged it.

Rule #1 in mechanics - 9 times out of 10 the guy at the parts store doesn't know his *** from a hole in the ground. The equipment they have to work with is shoddy at best and isn't to be trusted. You can do the same thing with your trusty $12 voltmeter at home.

Take this opportunity to learn. Myself, and others here have tried to tell you, that PROPER DIAGNOSIS is the first step in any type of work. These are known as the 3 C's....Concern, Cause, and Correction. ID the problem. Find what the problem is. Fix the problem. Just being able to hold and turn a wrench isn't enough, you need to learn the proper diagnostic procedures. Ask questions. Use Google. READ, READ, READ, LOL...we all start somewhere. Listen to the two previous posts. Definitely get a FSM or equivalent. The FSM has EVERY diagnostic procedure with causes and corrections. It is available here http://www.pacificcoastmanuals.com/j...e_manuals.html and it will be the best $8 you will ever spend on your Jeep. Definitely buy a multimeter. You WILL use it again. Let us know how you fare.

Ok, I it's trying to crank but not cranking. Same issue as before, so it seems like the battery is working

So, I need to buy a voltmeter and an fsm?

"Seems like" is not conclusive, at all. Go back to the beginning. Make a check list, if you have to, and follow it. Step 1: Test battery. Step 2: Try jumping it from another vehicle. Step 3: Check all connections for contact and corrosion. etc....

All the steps you need to start tracking down the real problem have already been given to you in this thread. Just go in a logical progression to start ruling things out, and eventually, you will find the problem.

Is it cranking over like normal or is it spinning slow?

So...it is cranking? Just not turning over and firing?
You don't need to buy anything. It will be an IMMENSE help though, LOL...You will need a multimeter to properly diagnose any electrical issues. The FSM...well, let's just put it this way...if you need answers on how to fix something, why would you NOT use the book that was written by the people from the factory? My guess is they know what they're doing, LOL...if you plan on doing all the work on your own, the FSM is an EXCELLENT base to start from. $.02

Right, it's cranking but not turning over and firing. It's not fully starting. Just sounds like it wants to start. What connections do I need to check?

I'm waiting for my ride. She should be here in 10 minutes. Then I will get the battery tested and some jumper cables.

I have followed this thread and figured it's the battery as well, since the contacts and grounds are said to be good. Slow turn of engine without starting, then clicking or nothing.
A bad battery can be fully charged but not be able handle a load. Battery needs 'load testing'.

My old jeep would turn over slowly but always started. That was the starter going bad.

I'll take back what I said, yes, buy a low cost multimeter while you're there. Then get an online FSM in PDF format. You will thank yourself.
