I changed my alternator and then my 91 Laredo won't start. Anyone have a wiring diagram I can look at to see if there's something I screwed up?

Need more info...

No starter?

No spark?

No injector pulse?

No fuel pressure?

Throw us a bone dude.

Did you recharge the battery? Are the battery terminals corrosion free and tightly connected. Sorry, have to ask the simple questions first.

X2 on the coil connector.
It sits right behind the ALT and faces forward. Quite easily bumped.
Wires are light gauge.
Also they are VERY short.

Default Thanks

Thanks for all your replies guys. I tried pretty much all your suggestions before I figured out that the relays i replaced were wrong. Just cuz they look right doesn't mean they are! And yes, the part store actually looked them up for me before I bought em. And i used the old ones so I guess they weren't bad like I thought they were. Good ol Jeep, its got 295k miles on it...I keep thinking it'll quit...no one understands why I keep it!

The old saying, "If it ain't broke don't fix it", rings true again.
