Won't start no power
just got this Jeep ran great then turned the key and nothing. Pushed shift lever and fired right up. Worked great another 3 days then nothing. Charged and checked battery voltage 12.7 v . Cleaned terminals and have 12volts to Alt. But at starter solenoid only have 6.2v. Interior lights dim and flashing even after key is removed. I disconnected the battery and gave up for the night. Any idea?

If it's a V8, it's either a Grand Cherokee or somebody dropped in a different engine.
The Grand Cherokee (which is not a Cherokee, it's a Grand Cherokee) forum is over here.
