UPDATE, again a no start and this time i changed the cables. noticed my pos cable had oxidized so cut off about two inches of that, but more importantly the Firewall to intake cable suggested above; i got the cable and just replaced the one from the firewall to the block on the drivers side there, replacing that wire mesh with the Napa p/n cruiser listed (did both actually) and the bolt holding the cable onto the firewall had corrosion on both the threads and under the head. i used a sandstone on a dremmel tool and cleaned both it and the firewall up. after these things the jeep started right up whereas it would NOT start this a.m. even while ON THE CHARGER.
so CUDO'S TO CRUISER FOR THE FIX. i am positive this is THE fix i'been lookin for.
