Power Drain on my 88 limited
Hello all,
ive recently picked up a pair of cherokee's. An 89 base model, and an 88 limited. Ive been slowly working both back onto the road, but now my 88 limited keeps draining the battery. Any thoughts\ ideas will be greatly appreciated!!!

Here's the test. Insider info lol. Pull your negative battery cable. Use a multi meter set on 10amp or whatever amp it has. Plug the wire in the multi meter to the 10amp plug. Put one probe to the negative cable the other to the negative battery terminal.it will tell you what your draw is. I.usually tape the probes to the battery and cable. Next pull fuses one at a time til you see the amps drop. Once you see the drop you have your culprit.
