First suggestion, punctuation. Sorry couldn't help myself.

Alternator won't help cranking issues. you may have fried your battery if your old alternator truly was bad. Have you tried jumping it? Try a different battery?

If you are "changing out burnt wires" this could be way more complicated than a battery or alternator issue. If you have wires grounding to the chassis somewhere, they're probably draining your battery while the Jeep is turned off.

Maybe I should throw in some kid hooked up an amp before I got the jeep that's what started everything to fry but I've replaced fuses and wired and grounds any suggestions will help

If its turning over, it's time to start going down the check list.

Spark?
Fuel pressure?

Are you saying you have voltage at the coil but not at the plug?

remove the amp, then check all your connections. Sounds like he grounded a hot wire somewhere.

Joseph N Tiffany Vinson

Thanks but the amps gone already I've checked all the grounds I can find any hiden I need to know about

Joseph N Tiffany Vinson

Or hotwire I can't find ��

ok--so lets back it up.....so everything was fine until you replaced the alternator? and when was the amp taken out?---was it taken out before the alternator went bad and you replaced it? or after you replaced the alternator

Joseph N Tiffany Vinson

Ok amp wasn't in it when I got it just the amp wires also looks like they tried to wire in a towing pigtail and so I replaced all my taillight wires the whole assembly so it was running with old alternator put the new one on it and bam quit running I checked everything I can think of

You hooked up the alternator Up correctly yeah? Some times new parts are bad, if it was running with the old alternator put the old one back in see if it fires up? I'm confused as to why you put an alternator in it in the first place. How do the battery terminals look? Are they crusty with corrosion?? Check up in the wires too... That could have led to your strange lighting situation in the first place. You said you wired the tail lights your self? You should check all those wires again make sure they are correctly hooked up.

Alt wont keep it from running. Sounds like wired wrong .
