Default Mystery problem so simple a fix...

Hello all. Had a strange problem happening to my 92.
On turning the key, there seemed to be a voltage failure
somewhere. Gauges, interior light, headlights would flicker or would not go on.
Sometimes a no-start. Brainstormed it for quite a few hours checking everything out with a voltmeter, checking the battery, alternator, CPS...etc.
At the end of my rope, I recalled something someone said on the forum about making sure your grounds are good and the battery connection.
He said that just because it looks ok doesn't mean that it is.
On looking at it, it looked great. No corrosion really.
I made the mistake of assuming that the grounds and wires couldn't be it
just because they looked ok.
Regardless, I replaced the battery connections and redid all my grounds.
No more issues. I sat there in my Cherokee shaking my head at everything I went through. Easy and simple fix.
I really just stepped in to say thanks to all on the forum for such a wealth of knowledge shared here. Saved me a few times.
